Planet Coaster 2: Vintage Funfair Ride Pack

The Vintage Funfair Ride Pack for Planet Coaster 2 was developed and published by Frontier Developments. It was released alongside the game’s launch — the main game came out in November 2024, and the Vintage Funfair Ride Pack was included as part of the “Deluxe Edition” offering at that time. The base game itself is available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, and the DLC works on all those platforms like the main game does.

The pack introduces ten classic amusement‑park rides meant to evoke the charm and nostalgia of old‑school funfairs. Among these are a traditional Grand Carousel, a suspended‑seat Chair‑O‑Plane ride, a spiral‑slide Helter Skelter tower, spinning fairground‑style rides such as a Waltzer‑type “Hyperspin,” and a diving‑bell style ride called “Buoyancy.” For coaster lovers, it also includes a few vintage‑style wooden rollercoasters — including a classic wooden coaster and a “wild mouse” wooden coaster — as well as a gas‑powered antique‑car ride for a slower, charming ride experience. Together, these additions give players a broader palette of building options, especially if they want to theme their park around a retro or traditional fairground aesthetic.

When Frontier promoted the pack it was marketed as part of the Deluxe Edition of Planet Coaster 2, packaged as a nostalgic ride collection — a “vintage funfair” theme to help park creators design classic, timeless amusement areas rather than just modern thrill‑rides. The promotional materials highlighted the variety of rides, the classic feel, and the opportunity to give parks a retro amusement‑park vibe.

Reception among players has been mixed. Some appreciate the chance to build parks with a nostalgic or traditional theme, and find the ride variety and charm of the vintage attractions appealing. Others — especially those who wanted more extensive new content — feel that while the pack adds nice variety, the number of rides feels limited compared to what they expected from a “DLC,” particularly when weighed against the overall state of the base game. As with the base game, critiques around park‑management systems and certain gameplay mechanics sometimes temper enthusiasm for the pack itself.
