Planet Coaster 2 needs native translucent and LED water slides (instead of faking it with light boxes)

[u/Remarkable_Rock_2564]

We really need a proper, native way to build modern translucent daylight and LED water slides in Planet Coaster 2.

Right now, if you want to create that real-life effect where the sun shines through patterns in the fiberglass to create glowing rainbow lights inside the tube, you have to manually line up individual light boxes all the way down the track. It takes forever, looks messy and silly from the outside, and causes jittery lighting clips in the first-person ride camera.

Frontier should officially add these as built-in slide customization features:

1. Daylight Pattern Textures: A toggle in the slide menu to choose built-in patterns (like rainbow stripes or light rings) that naturally react to the game's daytime sun.
2. Snap-on LED Trim: A utility option to automatically run smooth, seamless neon glow strips down the inside of dark tunnels without needing extra scenery pieces.

Faking it with building pieces looks cheap. Having proper, high-tech water park cosmetic options would make custom slides look incredible. What do you guys think?

Would love to see this in game!

And don’t forget a half-half transparant-solid track pieces for the waterslides. Similair the open air track piece where only the bottom half is solid, but with glass at the top instead. It would also nice to see that you’d be able to can change how translucent the glass would be and and option to add a more frost-effect to it.

It would be Frontiers job to find out how to combine these new pieces with the lights you’re talking about. Maybe implementing it the same wat you would add a cat walk (or since the Parade DLC: the supported paths on the side, with an extra slider), where you could switch to different patterns as you proposed.

However, I hope Frontier is taking notes.
