This month PC Gamer delivers world-exclusive access to Planet Coaster 2, the incredible new theme and water park simulator from Frontier Developments. PC gaming and theme park sims have gone hand-in-hand since Peter Molyneux and Bullfrog Productions made the legendary Theme Park back in 1994, and now 30 years later Frontier Developments is taking the genre to a wondrous new level of creativity and realism, allowing gamers to not only create and manage their own theme parks, but now their own water parks, too.

For our authoritative cover feature, PC Gamer travels to Cambridge, England, to visit Frontier, play Planet Coaster 2 for many hours, and then interview its lead developer, Rich Newbold, to give our readers the complete inside scoop. Here’s a hint, though… this game is going to make a big splash! And to celebrate that fact, this month’s PC Gamer magazine comes with a special collectible lenticular cover, which magically transforms from one image to another depending on the angle which you view it from. Check out a sneak peak below.
