Priority Pass Problems

[Mintyviper]

Having played the game for a while, the big problem I can spot is with the priority pass system.

From what I can tell, every guest who enters the park virtually makes a beeline straight to the information kiosk to pick up a priority pass. This creates two problems, one lots of money which essentially breaks the scenarios/challenge mode. And two the priority queues are bigger than the normal queues.

There is a way to fix this, bump up the price till only a small percentage buy the pass, but there are again problems with this, people still head to the information kiosk complain about the price and then seemingly head to the next one as if the price is going to be different.

I don't know if this is a bug or something that needs to be tweaked, but an idea I had of fixing it is to have the player limit the number of passes/percentage of guests who can get a pass. This would mean priority pass queues aren't massive and you don't get every guest making a beeline for the information kiosks dotted around the park.

The system is great and I do love it, just the AI around it seems a little broken to me.

Yeah, it's a very annoying issue. If you open some information kiosks, almost every guest will flock to it to get a priority pass, which kind of defeats the point of having a priority pass, and the priority queue gets filled up quickly, again, defeating the point of having a priority pass.
I think there's a thread about it on the Planet Coaster forums, but I'll have to see.

So basically, if you want to get faster on the ride you should NOT buy a priority pass because that queue isn't filled as much :)

Well funnily enough yes, even with the full priority setting, the ride takes way longer to get onto if you are in the priority queue... wierd! Suppose some people don't want to walk around my lovely queue scenery.

Well I've also noticed that the setting for the pass holders isnt working yet. I think the only the equal setting is working? I've tried to set pass holder line on high priority, but if you watch the line its still an equal amount of time.

Ah that could possibly be true, I wasn't really watching the difference, but I did think the High priority wasn't particularly high priority.
