Guests Not Entering Habitat

[DesertRose]

OK so I have a habitat with 2 guest gates (and a path connecting them) and for some reasons guests are walking right past the first gate, which is closer to the entrance of that area, and using the 2nd (exit) gate. They also are not walking all the way through the habitat. The paths are all connected, idk if it is an issue with the gate itself? I have tried deleting it and replacing it and moving the scenery around it and stuff, but nope guests will not use it. I have some screenshots of the gate itself but can post more of the habitat if need be.

I have also tried quitting and restarting the game, for what it's worth.

It's not too strange. It kind of depends on what animals are in it and what else is around each gate.

Llamas, and the other gate is pretty bare. It's just a gate.

Try using vista points within the habitat.

Have you tried using the radar map to check whether the blue accessible area reaches that gate?
Is there any part of the scenery sticking up near that gate, anything the guests may see as an obstacle?
Looking at the pictures again, I'm thinking it may be the paved area of your scenery that is stopping them.

Okay, The scenery is not an impediment but the llamas are a low draw animal. they never get a lot of high appeal rating. (compared) The entry gates seem to not be in very active areas. So that combined would be a big part of why there are not many guests going in.
Nice work though. Don't you wish we had different skins for those ugly guest gates?

It would be good to be able to edit the gates. I made gate cover blueprints but game options would be nice. :)

[grampers62]

Yeah. Just a couple different wall types would be nice. Like one stone and one glass?

I have 2 habitats right now, and the llamas are the first the guests come across. The 2nd was only just put in, and this gate thing was an issue beforehand. Plenty of guests are entering the habitat, they are just using the other gate and only going partway through the enclosure.

[Dragster6681]

When you say partway, how far are they actually going through the enclosure?
Is it up to the scenery and then they turn back?

[grampers62]

I've done many habitats with walk throughs and it is quite common for guests to go part way in one gate and turn around and leave. I expect the only way to stop that is to make a main path go through that forces guests to go through to the next habitat or section of the zoo.

They go about 3/4's through the enclosure. They stop quite a ways before the scenery piece you can see in the pic.

I have a habitat doing this. It was working last I remember, now the guests get most of the way through the gate and then all turn around and start running away. I have looked at their comments and stats and none appear to be scared and there is no indication I have an animal that shouldn't be in there, also, nothing blocking them as far as I can tell. Do you have any ideas? This habitat has two gates and the guests do the same thing to both. I'm really stumped.

If the Llamas are the only animals you have in your zoo, the guests most likely leave, because they have "seen it all" and leave alltogether. Try placing a high draw animal on the other side of the gate (that is not used) and they should storm all the way through your habitat.

My habitat is Capuchins, Anteaters and Tapirs, I cannot figure out what is going on! Radar shows no issues anywhere, nothing is obstructing, the guests that try to go into the habitat turn around before actually entering and start running for the zoo entrance.

Have you removed and replaced the path? On the screenshot it looks like it is not connected. As a trick: Place one of the drink shops inside and see if that brings them in. Usually my walk in habitats are always overcrowded, so it should not be the issue with them not wanting to go in. But if they want to and turn around, it usually means the path has an issue.
