Ask the Experts / RCT2 Guests are Lost

Every time I make a park with 2 tile paths, the guests get lost. It is when you see them scratch their head and look around. They have a map. They do not get in a crowd and try to leave the park. They say "I'm lost!" when their action is Walking. I don't think they are trying to get to a certain destination. It gets annoying when the bar says "Guests are getting lost or stuck."

Do you have any tips? Anything would help me.I have seen many parks with 2 tile paths and only about 2 guests out of 3,000 are lost.

you have to remember that guests always like to walk in a straight line towards their destination. so, if you make a horseshoe park layout, and something they want is at one end of the horseshoe, they will all be struck at the other en of the horseshoe trying to walk sraight across to it.

^yep
Theres a page on fossil's dig site that explains the whole park layout thing. You can acess the link to that site at rct mart i believe.
Its very in depth and will show you exactly what you need to unstuck your peeps.

Edit: I was being lazy. Heres the link. It should tell you aaaalll you need to know, or could possibly know about pathways in rct.

It is such a simple problem to fix in almost any park that your making or that is already made.

Let the little guys in. When you see a problem spot forming find a nearby building or suitable landscape item and build a hidden path to where the guest are all wanting to go. Problem solved and the park totally retains the look on the surface that was intended.

It is such a simple concept that when parks like the most recent gold are released with such huge guest issues I have to wonder why nothing was done to fix it. To have that much quality and then have it all fall apart for no reason other than I guess laziness on the part of the builders.

^I do that sometimes too. I gets on my nerves when i have the serious stuckage and i really dont wanna change the park layout so i disguise a small underground path for the peeps.

I also agree with the guest stuckage thing, it gets on my nerves when looking at a park. Sonoma Falls had some really bad areas of peep issues, but still was a great park.
