Paths are annoying

[ZombieHunter]

How am I supposed to build plazas with this awful path building? Even with the grid on I can't build straight paths. There is no rhyme or reason as to why a path cannot connect to another path at times. Rides that have the queue and exit next to each other can't have parallel paths leading to another path.

Elevation messes the paths up and unless I'm in straight down camera view it is impossible to place the paths and often the terrain isn't lowered enough or flattened under the path so it clips through. Roller Coaster Tycoon series has always had the best path builder. This is the worst path builder in any theme park game I've ever played. Such a huge step backwards. The curved paths are nice but the square paths are just awful in every way. Normally when I elevate a ride I stair step the path down by going down, turn 90, straight, turn 90, down, etc, etc. This allows me to take up very little space and the end result would look like a stairway in a tall building if the walls were removed. Impossible in this version of the game.

How did this path building system ever get to release? I have no idea what it thinks I'm 'pointing' at but it is way off almost every time.
