Besides the entrance queue a ride needs addition scenery aournd the ride itself. Queue scenery only adds 100 prestige points to a ride. The scenery along a coasters track and around a flat ride itself can add up to another 1000 prestige points.

Flat ride prestige can be increated by adding additioanl sequences and by having triggered event special affects connected to the sequences. A scenary rideskin also also adds to the prestige.

For rollercoasters and tracked rides, ride triggers connected to special effects and scenery like coaster doors, station decorations, and scenery along the tracks add to the rides pretige.

Guests get bored if the ride looks boring. They want to look at the scenery while on the ride. A coaster that goes through an unscenic area of the park is going to be rated "scenery very low" when you look at the testing results and not get many prestige points

Also some of the family flat rides have low prestige ratings because they have only a limited amount of sequenes you can add. Bumper cars, sky watcher, big wheel, horror heights, magic twirl, monte leonne, radius, victory, wisshorn and whirly rig are some examples of low prestige rides that will never get up to 5 stars in prestige.

Your right Chasbar, you can use an animation more than once on a ride. But after a certain number of them, additional animations don't add to the prestige. The Venitian Carousel maxs out at 7 animations. It will max out in prestige at 700 or 800 point and that is fairly good for a flat ride. Anymore animations than that does not increase the prestige but impacts the ride duration which reduces rider monthly throughput. I usually set mine to 6 animations with scenery around the ride and the ride queue up to 100% scenery rating and get a 3 to 4 star prestige rating. That's good for an early park ride that seldom breaks down.

The low prestige flat rides I was talking about max out at 2 or three animations. Radius is the worst at one animation with a high breakdown rate. Star wheel, big wheel, bumper cars, and sky watcher max out at two animations. Those are going to be the lower prestige rides in the park and will limit the price you can charge for the ride to $10 to $15. As they get older and the ride loses prestige they turn into money losers. That's why I avoid using them if possible.
