Dead by Daylight Doomed Course Launch Trailer

Following the success of Dead by Daylight’s last original Chapter, the terrifying All Things Wicked, the team has set forth into uncharted waters with Doomed Course.

Harkening back to an era where pirates and freebooters ravaged the seas, The Houndmaster emerged from the storm’s eye fuelled by a rabid lust for vengeance. Yet like so many embarking on that doomed course, she found herself consumed by its insatiable jaws. On the other side stands Taurie Cain, who spent years of her life pledging her devotion to The Entity. Perhaps it was fitting that she wound up in The Fog…though not in the way she envisioned.

An Unbreakable Bond:

With her loyal canine companion Snug forever at her side, The Houndmaster excels at hunting down Survivors with no quarter. A synergistic partnership forged by hardship and determination, they work as one to fulfill The Entity’s dark purpose.

Living up to her in-game moniker, The Houndmaster’s Scent of Blood Power centers around Snug, Dead by Daylight’s first AI-controlled animal character. Players can use Snug to track Survivors, revealing them whenever they’re caught within the Houndsense radius. Once found, The Houndmaster can use her Chase command to send Snug after a Survivor and temporarily restrain them.

The Houndmaster Also Arrives with 3 Character-Specific Perks:

All-Shaking Thunder: There’s no telling where a chase might lead. Plummet from a height to temporarily gain an extended lunge, allowing you to quickly close the gap on your quarry.

Scourge Hook: Jagged Compass: After a Survivor is unhooked from a non-Scourge Hook, it becomes a Scourge Hook. When you Hook a Survivor on a Scourge Hook, the Generator with the most progress is briefly revealed.

No Quarter: The mere thought of The Houndmaster’s return is so intimidating that Survivors are left entirely shaken. Whenever one nearly completes a self-heal, they’ll be bombarded with an adrenaline pounding series of difficult Skill Checks. Should they fail, they’ll be Broken for a duration.

Boasting a high skill-ceiling and the ability to quickly shut down a Survivor’s escape routes, The Houndmaster’s ruthless efficiency cannot be underestimated. Not to mention, which other Killers can actually pet a dog?

The Talon’s Finest:

Doomed Course also introduces the morally darkest Survivor The Fog has ever seen, Taurie Cain.

A longstanding member of the Black Talon, a nefarious sect that believes The Entity holds the key to transcending humanity, Taurie was among its most loyal disciples. Despite her devotion to the cause, in the fateful moment she was tasked with the unthinkable – taking the life of an innocent man – she faltered…and that was when The Fog came creeping.

Taurie Cain Brings 3 Character-Specific Perks to the Table:

Invocation: Treacherous Crows: Spending time in the shadows has its benefits. When in the Basement, you can begin an Invocation to become Injured and Broken for the rest of the Trial. However, the Killer’s Aura will be revealed to all Survivors whenever they disturb a Crow.

Clean Break: After you finish healing another Survivor, once you begin being healed by another Survivor, you can instantly become Broken. If you manage to survive long enough, you’ll instantly regain your lost Health States.

Shoulder The Burden: Once per Trial, provided you are not on Death Hook, you can activate Shoulder the Burden before Unhooking a Survivor. When they are Unhooked, they lose 1 Hook State and you gain 1 Hook State, scream, and become Exposed for a brief duration.

A Survivor with an edge, Taurie Cain brings a new attitude to The Fog. Things may not have gone how she planned, but that doesn’t mean she won’t adapt, using each new Trial to find her place within The Entity’s Realm.

Outfits For The Doomed:

The Doomed Course Collection brings players even deeper into the haunting backstories of The Houndmaster and Taurie Cain, featuring 2 Outfits that shed new light on aspects of their personalities.

Revisit Taurie’s time as a member of the Black Talon, with an intimidating Very Rare Outfit that will have even her fellow Survivors looking over their shoulder. Become the Ultimate Houndmaster with a new Visceral Legendary Outfit, which brings another one of her favorite dogs to the forefront. And trust us, you’ve never seen a Poodle this terrifying.

Speaking of terrifying, another horror icon is bringing their chilling creations to The Fog. The Junji Ito Collection is coming, featuring 8 Outfits inspired by the Japanese writer’s most nightmarish characters. This Collection features 2 Legendaries – The Artist as Miss Fuchi and The Spirit as Tomie Kawakami – both of which feature special audio recorded specifically to accompany the Outfits. The Collection also features new Very Rare Outfits for The Twins, The Trickster, The Dredge, Yui Kimura, Yun-Jin Lee, and Kate Denson.

Dead by Daylight: Doomed Course is available now on all supported platforms.

SkyPark at Santa’s Village to Open Reimagined B Monorail

SkyPark at Santa’s Village theme park, today announces the opening of its newest ride and attraction; The B Rail, a first-of-its-kind self-powered single-rider mountain bike suspended above the park on the historic 62-year-old “Bumble Bee Monorail” line. The unique ride is designed to give park guests the feeling of riding an actual bike high above the park  in the San Bernardino Mountains.

“We’re in the business of bringing family and friends together,” says Bill Johnson, the ride’s lead creator and park co-owner. “For the first time in many years, the famous monorail track at Santa’s Village is alive again. As a kid, I worked on the monorail ride, and as a grown-up, I’ve had the honor of re-imagining it and bringing it into this timeline. Like every part of restoring and reimagining this historic theme park, it’s been a lot of work and an absolute dream come true.”

The Park’s History

The Santa’s Village park itself dates back to 1955 After four decades, Santa’s Village closed in 1998. The forgotten park sat abandoned for nearly twenty years. This created a lost landscape of theft and vandalism where most, and in some cases, like with the monorail, all of the electrical infrastructure was stolen for its high value of copper.

In 2014, Bill and Michelle Johnson, a local husband and wife real estate and design team, purchased the park, refurbished everything, added a world-class mountain bike park

The B Rail Ride Development
“We wanted to give guests a bee’s eye view of the park,” says Bill Johnson, Co-Owner of the park and General Manager. “We knew the days of high powered electric rides were futile and a self powered coaster style ride is what the Park needed.  “The B Rail” rolls high above the park as if you are flying on a bicycle. And there isn’t much to separate them from the feeling of actual flight. It’s a very open ride that’s unlike anything else out there. You pedal the ride and are able to choose your level of speed, just like riding a bike.”

“When we bought the park, we knew we had to keep the original monorail track,” says Bill. “It was an iconic part of the park’s identity, plus, it was still in good condition and we wanted to make something special with the ride infrastructure.” Bill developed the ride with a long time friend Mat Caracaburu, who runs a successful fabrication business Milling and Turning Tech. And, eventually sources out the reproduction and detail design work to Carter Read at CJ Read Engineering. “Even though it’s pedal powered, we consider this a thrill-ride as you control the speed at 40 feet above the ground. There’s no ride car to encase you, and you really do feel like you’re flying on a bicycle. There will also be a timed lap component, coming soon, so you can “race” your friends and your own best time.”

“The monorail bike component  is hand built by Fat Chance Bicycles, as well as a group of industry folks, including KS Suspension, who wanted to help bring an eco-concept to the thrill ride/themed park industry. The ride has been thoroughly tested and adapted to enhance public safety and approved by the Department of Industrial Relations, like other rollercoasters or other amusement rides found at California theme parks.”

In honor of the original ride, one of the black and yellow Bee Monorail cars has been lovingly restored and mounted in front of the Sky Trading Company, where guests can sit in it for photo opportunities.

The B Rail Ride Details
– 1,000ft of Monorail I beam track, just short of the distance of your high school track.
– 2 to 4 Minute ride time, depending on how fast the rider pedals.
– The height varies as high as 40 feet above ground. Spectacular view, “flying” over the park.
– Single rider at a time with the idea of a two seater in development.
– Riders must weigh be between 75 lbs – 265 lbs and between 5’0″ – 6’7″tall.
Ride Requirements: The B Rail is an open concept rider-powered thrill ride, where solo riders are suspended, seated atop a mountain bike. The monorail track varies upwards to 40 feet above the ground. Riders must be 56 inches tall and a minimum weight of 65 pounds.. Riders must be willing and able to complete the entire ride safely while sitting upright and pedaling with both feet.
