Why visitors ignore my new attractions?

[alessio72]

Hi to all, forgive my bad english.

My costumers forming very long queues in my first attractions, but almost totally ignores the lastest researched and created.

I thought that the cause may be the distance from the entrance, so I've also created a steam train with multiple stations, including one near the entrance, but this is ignored too.
What I wrong?

Have you lowered the prices?
Also build some stores near the new attractions.

Customers take into consideration their E.F.N. ratings when choosing rides, they also are attracted to areas with high scenery ratings. If it is far away and all that is there is just a solitary bare ride they will not go there. Also the transport ride is classed as having an E.F.N rating and charging for it when there is little fun to be had will not entice them to use it.

If you have made the transport free and no one is using it then you have bigger problems somewhere.

From my experience of the same kind of set up I had people use the transport but it isnt cost effective until you have a sprawling park with many rides.

Either the ride is too scary for them or the ticket price is too high.

Or too gentle...

I built up this scary coaster and no one would ride. I even made it free and they still wouldn't. lol

It seems all my visitors crownd together in the same place:

And ignore other places and attractions, even if I have lowered price, set 100% scenery rating, and put shops and toilets around...

I earned a lot of money in the initial phase with few attractions, but now I'm going bankrupt for that. :(

New game, same problem... :(
And my shops (just a momento or Loony Ballons) don't sell almonst anything, even if they are placed in crowded place and items sold for just one dollar! (and even for free!)
Is the game bugged or I wrong something?

Thats exactly the same kind of issue I had, the people are just not free like the Devs said they would, they just follow a scripted path set and just help to make the park look busy

one thing ive noticed...customers are very hard to please when it comes to rides. If you have a good, cheap ride that is easily accessible, people will flock to it. If you have a less accessible ride that doesn't have better E.F.N. they will never go there and complain about the queue on the coaster they are all flocking to. Jack up the price on your popular coaster a bit (most of my popular coasters people complain about the price, but my queue is always full so it doesn't matter), make them think about the other things you have to offer. If you have a burger joint next door with burgers for a buck and a $30/meal steak house across town, where are you gunna eat most often.

I also put another copy of THE SAME ride in the far zone, at the half of the price of the first one...
Nothing change, neverending queue in the first one (at double price), no one in the second one!
Really annoying, I hope they fix that issue soon, because it totally destroy a good game.

This only happens if you provide no other reason to get them into the "far zone". Would you walk to the other end of the park for the same ride IRL?

My tip, in the few hours I've played, is to treat your customers as you would expect to be treated. It's my considered opinion they will respond accordingly.

I can definately say that doesn't work with priority passes. I could care less if other people are buying them, but guests ALWAYS complain - and then attempt to buy them anyway only to claim they're too expensive.

I've said this several times now, the game played better during ALPHA 3.

Wait in a long line and pay double

Walk to the other side of the park, pay half price and not wait in line

Yes, I would walk to the other side of the park, not wait in line and save money. Your analogy is flawed. It would be faster to walk to the other location than to wait in line and additionally you would be saving money. You would need to be an idiot to not take that deal.

I NEED HELP: so this is my first time player ng planet coaster and I finally built my first coaster, I have opened and know one is entering the queue or riding the ride. I have tried moving the building ,opened new rides , and even removed and did some part of the track. I test it and it says "open" but know one comes in it.

It's important to note, it doesn't matter what the price of the thing you are trying to get them to go to is. Sure people will be detered by a high price, but whether it's a dollar or 10 doesn't seem to matter as much as you might think. The problem you are clearly having is, they don't want to leave your popular thing. so capitalize on that. If you increase the price, they will either pay more and stay, or they will decide your other feature is more of a bargain. In either of those scenarios you win. The point i was making earlier is that whether the new thing is half price or free, they don't want to leave where they are to go to that instead...make them WANT to leave. You tried the proverbial carrot, now try the stick.

On a similar note, I had a few coasters that seemed like they should have been awesome. In the end very few people wanted to go out of their way to ride them. Even though they had decent E.F.N. rating, it needed to be better than the rest of my coasters for them to waste their time walking over there. Now i have a perfectly good coaster in the middle of my park i practically can't pay people to ride since i put in water rides...
