IMS & OpMode - New Ride Technology

IMS

What is it? IMS (Intelligent Multi-Ride System) is a new form of ride technology. On our older coasters, such as Nemesis Inferno, a train is only allowed to be spawned when the previous train reaches the station. With IMS, we can make it so that a train can be summoned almost immediately after the previous train has left the station. In the event of the first train failing to make it around the track, the second train will be automatically stopped in order to avoid a collision. Basically, it is a functioning block logic.

What does it give the ride? Throughput. By allowing multiple trains to run on the track at one time, throughput can be massively increased. This allows up to reduce waiting times, and we can even get coasters to duel!

Which rides can I experience it on? Currently on our Thorpe PE server it is only running on Saw: The Ride, but there'll be plenty of rides on Fantasy Islands and Alton Towers running with it!

OpMode

What is it? OpMode allows rides to be controlled entirely from within the operating booth - just like in real life!

What does it give the ride? Not only does it mean the individual controlling the ride gets to have fun, it also can allow for a higher throughput - and if anything goes wrong with the ride, there's already a trained BlockCoasters staff member on site.

Which rides can I experience it on? Currently on our Thorpe PE server it is only running on Saw: The Ride and Stealth, but we're hoping to roll it out to more rides soon!

Will I be able to operate the rides? Unfortunately guests can't control the ride (it's a mod-only perk), but we'll be offering it during Private Events (watch this space!)
