This left me with a smile on my face. There were a few times there I legitimately thought for a second it was just fancy video editing, then the ride moved a bit and I realized it was just incredibly well designed. The newspaper part in particular caught me.

I'm pretty sure this ride was actually based on a real runaway train situation the only reason I figure this is because I distinctly remember a story about a train crashing through a station in just the same way as the finale of the ride

Eisenhower was gonna be elected as the 34th President of the United States? Btw, i think he also got inspiration from the movie Silver Streak, which actually was inspired from the incident mentioned above. Sorry if I sounded nerdy, just stating truth. 😅😅😅😅
That's insane. By far the best darkride I think I've ever seen in PlanCo. You're a master of forced perspective and the story was so well done. You continue to impress me with each project you do!

5:16 onward is perhaps the greatest theming I've seen for a ride in Planet Coaster, the forced perspective, the bridges, the fast paced train action, the newspaper ending, PERFECT
This creation is almost 2 years old now and I can't say how many times i've come back to watch this video. It's just too good
This is the greatest Planet Coaster dark ride I've ever seen. It looks like something I'd actually see in a real theme park. Unlike other Planco dark rides, it doesn't just give the _impression_ of a story, it _tells_ a story, and does it in extremely creative ways, especially the movement. I am sad that you aren't more popular on KZread, but to you, and everyone who assisted this, you've made a masterpiece, and should be rightly proud.

The awesome level of detail in every aspect----concept, story, set, props, period accuracy, ride realism, lighting, music, audio design, VFX, voice acting (some of the best in any Planco build); BUT EVEN BEYOND ALL THAT---- You wrote actual news articles, and they're hilarious.

That newspaper ending was extremely clever! Brilliant use of the greyscale filter!
This is a work of art - an original concept / story well told by scenery and music. Especially like the sound design / dialogue bits for the show scenes. The main point is: This looks like it could be done in real theme park with the classic imagineering tricks like forced perspectivce, projections, painted backdrops, etc. Most theme park dark rides created in Planet Coaster & Co. simply seem "too big" for being built in a real-world theme park where place is expensive - which makes them kind of "unrealistic". Not this one! Congrats!

Thank you so much for your kind words! That means a lot.
The amount of time effort and production that went into making this is unbelievable. This would make a great dark ride in real life!
THIS IS ACTUALLY SO GOOD??? This is one of my favorite pieces I played when I was in high school band, and this is such a cool way of portraying the actual historical event!! 1000/10, fantastic job!! If Planet Coaster ever does some decent water rides, I'd love to see a similar concept for The Great Steamboat Race, also by Robert W. Smith (the sister-piece to GLC!)
the ending having that scene turn into a newspaper headline was absolute genius creativity!!! never seen that done before
The Music is perfect. My only VERY MINOR complaint is that the music wasn't time to well. But that is like not important at all. This ride is like you made a chocolate cake, then added chocolate syrup, chips, ice cream, and other stuff that was so extra but made it super cool and epic.
I have no idea why but “Build time: 1 year Ride Time: 5 minutes” made me laugh harder than it should have. That year of work paid off though, because this is one of the best planco rides I’ve seen

The only thing Walt would hate about it is the name of the ride and the setting. He actually made a movie on the REAL Great Locomotive Chase, which was taken place in 1862 with, I guess to make it simpler for you, wild-west styled trains involved. And yes, Walt was a severe train enthusiast

Bro I remember playing that song freshman year of Highschool, this brought back so many memories
Dude, this In itself is quite the hidden gem, Making Coasters over classic peice's like a coster baised off of the godfather i presume. and now this, Wonderful
Easily the best part of this is that it felt like it could be a real dark ride. I could see every detail of this and how it would work; both stationary prop locomotives, some with false moving track sections to simulate motion, and moving props hauled by hydraulic cable pulls, animatronic figures, that dramatic climax done with large scale models, even final fade-out through the newspaper article done with a mist screen and a pepper's ghost style effect. Moreso than most PlanCo dark rides I've seen, this could easily be made to work for real! And I would ride the hell out of it! Mickey's Runaway Railway, eat your heart out! Rise of the Resistance, stand aside. I'll admit it wasn't entirely what I was expecting; seeing the title I thought this was going to be a retelling of the famous "Andrews Raid" of 1862. But this absolutely lives up to the name. Bravo, sir!

Thank you! Glad you liked the realistic scope of the ride. I didn't put any affects that I felt weren't feasible in reality. My thinking behind the newspaper black and white transition was actually projection mapping. Build the scene in black and white, and projection map the colors in like the WDW firework shows do. Then just fade out the projects and boom it's black and white.
I love how this one is plausible in its space and budget while still being an absolute blast. You've got the taste of a true imagineer.
Even though the song is based on a real event from the Civil War, this would be a legitimately good dark ride. Very imaginative!
yooo the transition from the crashed train to the newspaper was crazy
Wow Swiss! Literally gave me chills. This is so perfect. Congrats on finishing this astonishing project and ride!

As a fan of that game and someone who has built detailed rides, I cannot even imagine how its possible what you did. You are a fantastic talent and should be proud. Best dark ride I've ever seen!!!
My jaw was on the floor during the newspaper transition. Fantastic!!!!!
That ending of the newspaper was one of the most creative things I’ve seen in the game. Amazing job.
So well executed. But on a funnier note, the park attendants looked like they were scratching fleas instead of listening to their ear pieces. :P
This is so incredibly impressive. This would be the perfect attraction for a rail themed park even if it were in real life.
My word this was worth the wait. Hands down the best dark ride I’ve seen in Planco. Stunning

You know, Nathan: I'm hoping to do that one day with my Victoria Village City Museum section of the GossBrook Hay Farm Resort project that I've been hoping to build on my grandparents' farm through the Goss Family Christian Entertainment (GossTron Guy Studios' theme park and hotel division). Maybe that could be a good real-life ride possibility if God allows it.

Literally one of the best ive ever seen! The Newspaper section, MASTERPIECE!
I’m so impressed by the creation in planet coaster and love the source material. I am a former band nerd and had a ton of Robert W Smith on my iPod mini back in the day. This reminds me of why I loved being in band so much. My section would make up backstories for some of the songs in our concert repertoire and this is such a fun execution. Really great work!
I played the great locomotive chase in my old band class. It was my favorite song I’ve ever done.
Absolutely fantastic. The sense of the chase you were able to convey was just great and that newspaper transition at the end, perfect.
You are the most underrated planet coaster youtuber!
This is the best dark ride on Planet Coaster I’ve ever seen in terms of theatricality, story telling and how captivating it is. My jaw is on the floor.
Incredible. I have seen quite some dark rides on Planet Coaster but yours is one of the best I have seen, well done!!
Das ist absolut krank! Respekt! Man erkennt fast nicht mehr, dass es Planet Coaster ist. Die Idee mit der Zeitung finde ich super kreativ, da können sich Freizeitparks mit Sicherheit was von dir abschauen! Du solltest das beruflich machen, falls du es nicht schon tust. Allein schon das Kino hat mich umgehauen, aber auch die Dramaturgie
this is amazing! so many great scenes especially the newspaper scene! id love to see a behind the scenes to see what some of these sets look like and how some of the stuff was done. this was definitely worth the wait!
By far the best dark ride I’ve ever seen in Planco, and I’ve experienced a lot!!! You mastered every seen perfectly!! Well Done!!
It’s one thing to make a good looking dark ride, it’s another to tell a story. You my good sir have done both.
I played this song in hs band! Its so cool to see it reimagined as a dark ride!
Absolutely phenomenal. Better than most darkrides in real parks!
this was absolutely amazing!! i don’t get easily impressed but this left a huge smile on my face. Thank you for this!

Oh my god this was so good! Extremely creative and well executed.
The whole ride had a 1950s feel to it. The newspaper clipping at the end really drove that home.
Great work as always Swiss!! Proud you see how far you've come between minecraft and planet coaster!!!
Please make a behind the scenes for this! I'd love to see what it looks like outside the normal ride angles.
Congratulations for this amazing ride! I think it the most incredible ride I saw in Planet Coaster!

The trains themselves are by Wings & Strings I just modified them to look different from the original. The signals, moving train wheels, and miniature trains are custom TMTK pieces I had made by The Osirian. Everything else I made like the track switches, crossing lights etc.

Very poggers Swazzers. We love the very informative newspaper articles. I learnt many things from them.
I have this weird thing about being uncomfortable about being in a dimly lit, small space with a large object. For example, the plane in the Casablanca sequence on “The Great Movie Ride” At Disney World actually bothered me. Xenomoprh in the other room, not a problem. Airplane, scared me… You actually succeeded in triggering that feeling within me watching this on my phone. Kudos to you. Seriously, Imagineering and Universal Creative should be fighting for your services.
Incredible work 😄
