How to fix queue too long
Seriously, customers are annoyed by this? I can't do anything about it, can I?

Depends on where the que is.
With a well streamlined coaster you wont have a long que, waterrides mostly attract so many people it wont be able to handle no matter what you do.

Overall having the entrance and exit on the opposite side of eachother is quite a bit faster.
Even if you shorten the queue time, a physically long queue can still cause this to be an issue. That being said, this issue seems to be pretty insignificant.

guests will complain about long queue's no matter what you do. just ignore them other guests will still queue up.

You can ignore it, but to me thats more of a "Good" alert, not bad.
It means its time to jack up your ticket price and get priority lane setup for even more money. Therefor its not really a fix alert so much as its a "time to get richer" alert

By jacking the prices up to rides with this happening, youre also balancing up your park, the guests will goto other rides less ridden as a result. Scenary max assumed of course.

I typically increase by 20%, wait a few months and readjust, if even needed. 15-20% seems like the perfect increase.

I have priority lines, people go in them, but what do they do???

Enables people who buy priority passes to skip ahead in the queue, simple. Basically it shortcuts out a good portion of the queue.

Oh, where can I sell priority passes? Weirdly enough, people are already using them...

Dont forget to add more cars to your rides, more cars that go up, the more people can get in and the line goes faster, you can also make the entrance price higher, adjust the minimum and maximum waiting times before a car leaves, be sure to test it out so nothing goes wrong in the ride.

Its not a big deal but a very long queue will make some peeps afraid to enter the queue line therefore less money. I guess the best thing to do is to make sure the length of the queue path is synchronizing with the riding time of the rides and add more cars if you can add it.

There are a few things you can do to help out long queues. Changing the max load to full, and the minimum wait time to a few seconds less can help out. It depends on the ride really. Some track and flume rides can have comfortably low min wait times since they are just loading 1 car.

Also, some flat rides have the ability to dictate how long the ride actually lasts, by going to the last tab of the ride's stat page while it is closed. A few flat rides can benefit from this, especially Psycola since that ride is just a long pattern that repeats itself. I'm not sure if changing or reducing the sequence of the ride's function can affect how much people will pay for it, however

It's usually a good indication of people overloving your ride. Which mean you can up the price and add some priority lanes to the rides with this.
TsarIvan Nov 27, 2016 @ 10:21pm 
About the priority lanes, sometimes it can backfire if the priority lanes also has a very long queue, then the regular lines will gets longer. But hey, more cash for the park :steamhappy:
