#Coaster center no solo way up problem

Some people have mentioned that the new center is weaker for solo bunnies because there is only the coaster to get to the next floor.
While this is fine for me personally and a lot of other players, I must agree that I get their point.

To solve this issue, there could be an extra gate or zipline added on the first floor but I feel like this would not make it better for both sides.
I think that it is important to give the bunnies quick options to go to the 2nd floor. Mainly because the game is balanced to look around for bunnies across multiple floors. At the start of the game, 5 bunnies are scattered around in 1 floor, making it easy for the magician to find bunnies and get "free" damage on them.
Just adding a 6th objective on the first floor to accomplish this would make sense but there are magician players who already think 5 objectives is too much.
It would also take a lot of time to redesign the room to fit those objectives and till be as pretty as it is.

then what do we do with the rollercoaster?

Well why don't we add the option to ride the rollercoaster solo?

Both of the solutions below create the same "problem". We have two rollercoasters. Objectives need a standard way of activating them and not have a way of activating them based on room. This means if one of these options below would be added, it would also need to happen in amusement.
After some thinking, I think these would still be fine.

Option 1)

My first idea was to add the minigame from carousel center into the new center but upon completion you wouldn't get an item, but the rollercoaster would drive off after 10 seconds.
The minigame would not trigger a notification to the magician, but he would still be able to hear the music and the candies being thrown. And when the coaster drives off the magician receives the normal coaster notification.
5 candies needed, magician can interupt this by making the bunny walk off the platform, ...

Option 2)

Ticket booths
For both the new center and amusement there is a ticket booth in the room (let's ignore the ticket booth in circus and a connecting for a second). Make it possible for bunnies to activate them with a key.
Activating them with a key, lights up the bulbs (and could pop up a ticket seller yelling "candies please"). Bunnies can interact with it to buy a ticket with candies.
Bunnies will be able to use this ticket to make the cart go up.
To make this not busted and still have some kind of risk/reward, they ticket could cost 10 candies.

These solutions enable this:

  • Solo bunnies can go up
  • Multiple bunnies can go up
  • Faking is still possible
  • "New objective"
  • Magician gets the same info
  • The coaster will still work with a key as well

Now about balance
This update would change things the most for solo bunnies, because they will be able to use the coaster without needing a teammate.
For premades it wouldn't do a lot. Yes one bunny can go up with the cart while others are doing different things but it's still just 1f to 2f. Which already gets easily breached with premades.
With these solutions costing candies, they won't have as much candy to trade with at Jack. Balancing it out.

Nice to see this discussed idea from the stream.
And I like the second one too.

Roebah what if the ticket from the booth can be used at Jake too instead of the candies?
Like ticket + key, ticket + toolbox etc.

PS: I am Rujean. I have this name untill I'll be able to change it in here.

Will it be too much extra step being used for Jake?

Ok. My thinking was based on the fact that you still search for candies for both. And the booth might get used more.
Since otherwise will be of use just at beginning.

But having the bunnies chose to go booth or Jake with the candies is a nice decision to have.

Option 2 in my opinion sounds better. This wouldnt really change anything balance wise. While giving bunnies another option to go up. I always thought these ticket booths would be for ticketmans. Like bunny could use a ticket to pass without notification. Would be very strong so i dont see that happening. Coaster ticket idea shouldnt hurt anybody, but not sure how usefull it would be either.
