Clone rides stay at the park you visited
Same-named coasters at different parks now keep separate catalog rows, so a closed Ride of Steel does not hide the operating one at Darien Lake.
- Ride of Steel, Superman: Ultimate Flight, Mr. Freeze, Hurler, and Flight of the Hippogriff clones restored where they were missing
- Park and coaster pages lead with CoasterTrak lineup facts instead of Wikipedia copy
- New catalog guide explains sourcing, clone installs, and how to report a missing ride

CoasterGuessr
Pin the park from a coaster photo. Open CoasterGuessr in the menu, drop a pin, and lock it in. Show answer reveals the ride without a score.
- Only catalog rides that already have a useful photo are in the pool
- Western Japan parks are no longer labeled South Korea
