Difficulty attaining a five star park? It may be your guest count.

[Scar]

Due to the main challenge of the game being spacing limitations, it confuses me that there is no limitation for how many guests may enter your park. The reason that there should be one is that you can get to a point where it is all but impossible to attain a five star rating as you cannot build enough facilities to satisfy the insane amount of guests that you can get.

An example: I just had to close my park and watch the guest count drop by 3,000 to finally attain a five star park. That's dumb.

If you're struggling, this may be why

there are probably more things you can do to get your rating up other than dropping the guest count. Have you checked whether your shops are at capacity? If so, add more staff

What shops have you actually put down? If you're using the fast food shop all over the place then replace all of them with restaurants. Restaurants have a higher star rating than fast food

So far I've five starred the first 3 islands by just using a restaurant, clothes shop and arcade by each guest hotspot (red areas on the heatmap) and a monorail station near to there as well.

In terms of facility rating, those 3 shops are the only 3 you need to use

I agree with your points to a degree, but it's not that difficult to get 5 stars even with the guest counts the way they are

Isla Tacano doesn't really have the space to properly support a five star rating with a 14,000 guest count, that's the issue.

Got 5 stars without any issues on all islands.

With standard dinos aswell, no gene modding needed.

Monorails, Hotels, Arcades, Restaurants, and Clothes Shops; combine that with 90-100% dinosaur "coverage" and a bunch of genetic modified dinos and you should get a 5 star rating so long as you can attain a period where a storm, breakout, disease, or dino death doesnt occur for a few minutes.

you get 5 stars by maintaining high facility ratings at the bare minimum requirements for variety and number of dinasaurs. You can basically do it with 2 decent enclosures on any park as long as they are loaded up with dino's and ameneties.

So far i have max reached 5000 guests on any island i find it harder to hit 5 star mainly from transport and the final half dino star

You can brute force the dino star by spaming a lot of dinos :p

actually, this helped me hit 5 stars on one of my islands. i closed the park, count went down, reopened : 5 stars. thanks!

Dino rating easy just make a carnivore and feed him a lot of herbivores.
