January 2026 Stage Call

January 2026 Stage Call

Welcome!

The big 2026… that’s crazy

MYSTERY BOXES

  • Final chance to open your box!
  • Starting the 17th of January you’ll have 1 week to collect your prize if you left it unopened. What you missed out on will broadcast to everyone! And you don’t keep the box. If you don’t open or turn in the box, you won’t get the money
  • Stats update:
    • 231 opened
    • 32 unopened
      • 21 of the 32 remaining mystery boxes have logged in since Jan 1st
  • If someone returns their box, you’ll be able to see who turned them in and what they forfeited in the prize menu
  • There are not plans to do mystery boxes specifically again, we think it’s more fun to find other random one-offs to do

WINTER EVENT

  • Official end date is the 17th (rides, tokens, winter fireworks, and winter build at Esplanade)
  • Majority of event has wrapped for most people... so what did you think?
  • Gift party will reappear next year yes, we like it as an annual thing
  • The graves were part of a larger expansion that was supposed to come out… will be released as part of something else later down the line
  • Looove the reindeer pets, shoutout Liz for modeling and animating them
  • Definitely going to have more pets, no sneak peaks or ETAs right now
    • Can do basic ones like cats, dogs, then go down the Disney route with those characters
  • The people want pets to appear in polaroids (possible) and catchable in pokeballs (harder)

Modpack Support

  • Anyone can try it out now
    • Channels & Roles at the top of the Discord → “What Are You Interested In” → “Modpack Testing”
      • You’ll get a channel with pinned instructions on how to use the modpack and get pings when we make changes and fix bugs
  • Built off Fabulously Optimized mod pack
  • It will never be mandatory to use a modpack, this is just for QOL and performance improvements
  • Would recommend not using Lunar for it right now, but do plan on supporting Lunar so if you want to use it through Lunar you can
  • Currently only published on Modrinth but you can import from that to Prism, and it will be on CurseForge eventually
  • IF Utils mod you can add manually right now and it adds IF as a server to your list (since a new Modrinth install clears your servers list)
  • We’re going to be adding screens support with shaders! Part of what we originally started looking into a modpack for
  • Not including mods like Smoothcoasters which are FPS heavy, but you’re welcome to add it on top of these mods
    • If you have a strong computer you can also try adding these for some animation/visuals:

        Better Leaves 3D Ladders Chat Animation Cubic Sun & Moon Falling Leaves Fresh Animations Better Animations

  • Open to suggestions

IF Wrapped/Recap

  • Will be coming out very soon, no exact date
  • Wanted to drop it on New Years but had some issues with the site
  • Will work similarly to last year

The Big 2026

  • Some fun stuff planned
  • Before GTA 6
  • What would you like to see in 2026?
  • Want to take a moment to say we appreciate all of you, thank you! 2025 has been a blast, and we’re excited for what’s to come in 2026!
  • Dare I say you will see us again before the end of the month

Questions

what will the rewards be for top riders for the sugarpine rides?
  • Don’t know specifically yet but it’ll be top 5 riders special item and rides will get vaulted forever, top rider will be put in the Hall of Fame

  • What will happen to the Modern Art item, which is in the Mystery Box, if no one claims it? Will it be raffled or auctioned off? Sent into the void?
  • One of them exists out there in the world, the one in the mystery box will be sent to the void if unclaimed - you will have to obtain it another way
