The Great Locomotive Chase: Planet Coaster Ultra-Detailed Original Dark Ride 

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.

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

Thank you for watching!

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 RU-vid, but to you, and everyone who assisted this, you've made a masterpiece, and should be rightly proud.

the ending having that scene turn into a newspaper headline was absolute genius creativity!!! never seen that done before

Absolutely amazing. The newspaper transition was so creative and well done

As a coaster enthusiast who played this song in an orchestra… yes. Perfection.

As a PlanCo builder and a musician who has played that exact piece and have met Robert W.Smith this is amazing really well designed, as lol around fantastic!!

That newspaper ending was extremely clever! Brilliant use of the greyscale filter!

The amount of time effort and production that went into making this is unbelievable. This would make a great dark ride in real life!

Bro I remember playing that song freshman year of Highschool, this brought back so many memories

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.

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

Outstanding usage of the limitations of Planet Coaster. I have never seen a ride make the animatronics look more in place.

This is the best planco darkride I've ever seen,awesome job. The sheer amount of detail you put into this is insane.

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

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 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!)

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!

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!

Even though the song is based on a real event from the Civil War, this would be a legitimately good dark ride. Very imaginative!

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!!!

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.

That ending with the Headline and framing of the scene deserves a standing ovation of themed entertainment design. I wish an attraction could pull that off. I love that there is a post show concept with the museum exit.

Wow Swiss! Literally gave me chills. This is so perfect. Congrats on finishing this astonishing project and ride!

Absolutely mindblowing. Professional. Gracious. It's something Walt himself would like if he was alive today and familiar with trackless systems. The newspaper part is simply magical. Lol. It should really exist somewhere in the real world. It's just amazing. Bravo!

dude your actually crazy, i'd love to see you try out theme park tycoon 2 sometime.

This is so incredibly impressive. This would be the perfect attraction for a rail themed park even if it were in real life.

That ending of the newspaper was one of the most creative things I’ve seen in the game. Amazing job.

My jaw was on the floor during the newspaper transition. Fantastic!!!!!

Disney or any park need to make this into a real life ride it’s amazing

Outstanding work

This brought pure happiness - great job!!!

Truly Amazing. I've never been soooo impressed. So so good! Well done!

I have never seen such a beautiful creation as this one on Planet Coaster ! It's just amazing… I'm speechless ! 🤩😲

this is insane. thank you thank you thank you so much

Congratulations for this amazing ride! I think it the most incredible ride I saw in Planet Coaster!

Great ride Swiss! Highly exceeded my expectations

My word this was worth the wait. Hands down the best dark ride I’ve seen in Planco. Stunning

Wow. Honestly amazing. Super creative!

This was amazing! Great job!!

Oh my god this was so good! Extremely creative and well executed.

Amazing as always!

Absolutely fantastic. The sense of the chase you were able to convey was just great and that newspaper transition at the end, perfect.

this was absolutely amazing!! i don’t get easily impressed but this left a huge smile on my face. Thank you for this!

Incredible. I have seen quite some dark rides on Planet Coaster but yours is one of the best I have seen, well done!!

Great ride, stunning visuals and effects 👏

This is so amazing, the best creation I have ever seen in planet coaster

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!!

The greatest coaster I’ve every seen. You really smashed it out of the park!

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!

Great work as always Swiss!! Proud you see how far you've come between minecraft and planet coaster!!!

This is the coolest thing I've ever seen. Thank you for making this, I can't believe I'm only discovering this, I am speechless!!!!

YESSSSS!! so amazing!! i’m such a huge fan of your work

Literally one of the best ive ever seen! The Newspaper section, MASTERPIECE!

I’m so obsessed with this. It’s just oozing creativity and the ending with the news paper was just flawless

Oh my god, you are by far the best planco player. Absolutely incredible Swiss! My jaw is on the floor!

Genuinely mind blowing

Congratulations, you have surpassed yourself. The story-telling, the story-flow and the sheer amount of detail are just insane. Keep up your work and stay true to your talent!

Excellent!

Amazing dude, just amazing.

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.

Incredible work

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!

Incredible

Wow. Unbelievable work.

Fantastic! Very very impressive! Wow!

This is truly very amazing

absolutely brilliant. all the illusions and miniature buildings work so well. congrats on finishing this beast!

Eyyyyy!!!! After all this time. Congrats my friend. What a success this was. To you finish of a game series, it truly is the best. Way to go out a legend.

Been waiting for this one! Worth the wait - excellent job as always

Absolutely phenomenal. Better than most darkrides in real parks!

I'm speechless, you came up with so many great ideas, I felt totally immersed in your story, thank you for the ride

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.

You are the most underrated planet coaster youtuber!

Incredible work 😄

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.

This ride is simply special, congratulations to all of you incredibly talented people

Thant ending was brilliant! Well done!

This is insane. I love this. This was like watching a movie, I felt goosebumps. Also loved the addition of Johnny Cash's ''Wabash Cannonball'' at the end.

Incredibly well done, you used everything that planco offers to make this not a ride, but an experience

Just Wow!

The sheer amount of detail you put into this thing is insanity. Everything was carefully thought through and looks amazing Amazing job Swiss!

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 art lol amazing work. I’m jealous, I can’t even get flowerbeds to look right in my parks lmao

I would actully ride this, and love it

Awesome!

Brilliant!!!

I played the great locomotive chase in my old band class. It was my favorite song I’ve ever done.

Wow this is so good.

Just when you thought everything had already been seen in this game. Amazing!!

WOW So good

The whole ride had a 1950s feel to it. The newspaper clipping at the end really drove that home.

Very poggers Swazzers. We love the very informative newspaper articles. I learnt many things from them.

oh my god that newspaper effect at the end was insane. i can't believe you have so few subscribers for rides like THIS! i think... i think you may have gotten me back into planet coaster

Just, Wow!!!

This was amazing! Very artistic! Bravo! ☮& ♥ ~ SmilingOma 🙂

I love it!
