I have the same problem with the hat shop. I mean, they do sell some hats, but always operate in the red. Tried lowering hate prices a little, and then a lot, and still no where near enough hats get sold to justify the shop.

must be a bug , i just put in my park a shop squad of balloons , still no one buy

[Erren]

My hat shop sold hats but I had no sucess with my ballon shop, I even decorated it and put up a big sign. I eventually just closed it as I was lossing money by having it opened.

I sold many balloons but that was sandbox. Seems when peeps are jumping and cheering they buy balloons so it seems. But i agree seems a bit buggy. We are still in alpha plenty of time to fix :))

I sell hats, but no balloons too. Did not figure out why yet.

I think it all has to do with location.
Was doing the third campaign level yesterday, Pirate Cove, and noticed that the hat shop right by the exit to the fancy starting rollercoaster (with the fancy scenery and everything).

Built another one between a drink and hotdog stall, on a fairly long path between rides, and people were buying drinks and hot dogs but only the occasional guest would hit up all three.

Closed that one, built a third one closer to a high ticket log flume I had made, and it started attracting more customers...

So... yeah. I think you gotta amp people up to buy the stuff, it's not like RCT where they're going to just walk around and buy a balloon or hat because it's on the way.

I think your peeps must have all their needs green. Also the location is important.
Ive been seeling balloons to happy people.

BTW, How DO you sell balloons? I researched it and cannot seem to find the shop to build ....

I think currently the only ballon shop is the default store under "custom blueprints" :-(. there's no pre-build ballon store yet. In general I think the shop descriptions of the pre-build shops are super bad. You just don't know what the shop contains, e.g. Pirate store... was suprised it had 2 shops in it and couldn't check in advance which shop counters were integrated. Super strange.

Yeah... Extremely Strange! But I see it now.... Thank you for your help!

No idea if you came from alpha or Beta, but if you do and you are on the same map of Alpha or Beta (saved game i mean), start a new game.

I was having problems with my game before the update. (booths not selling, peeps not entering rides, not queueing, etc...)

Now with new game everything is fine.

I bought the game just after release, and honestly also never sold balloons, is the store just in the game but not finished? I remember Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 had guests walking around with their balloons, once in a while you could see one floating by because some kid lost it. I think they did not implement it in the game yet.

Never sold them either.
They patched them to reequip them after leaving a ride but.... they never equiped it in the first place here!

[KingBobCat]

Yeah, found the balloon shop under custom blueprints, but it never sell any balloons. Also, the hat place rarely sells a hat. Would be nice to get this patched....

Like Asasin said, you have to place the balloon shop near a high excitement ride. Try a coaster that is very popular. They sell, but not quite enough to make it out of the red in my parks.
