All I'm saying is in the real world, guests don't wait to start loading a train until everyone has *completely* exited the station. It's unrealistic and it doesn't make sense for this game to operate like that.
For example, in the SIlversmith Manor career game, take a look at the pre-built "Rolling Rapids" ride. It takes 25 seconds for guests to exit the ride before the next set of guests can board the raft. It doesn't make sense! The exit gates should close as soon as they're unloaded and let the next set board the ride.

The feedback of needing to better place ride exits is completely pointless and unhelpful. If that's the case, why even let it be an option where to place entrances/exits? Is such customization not the point of this (very cool) game?
Now that we are talking about the river rapids ride...
Look. I also believe the peeps need to exit coasters faster. They walk too slow.
The water rides seem even slower. Lets keep that a separate discussion. I agree there.
The placement of the exit, is just a fact of life. It's a physical reality. If you place your exit alllllll the way at the back of the station, peeps have to walk farther. It takes longer. It's a fact. It's not magic. It's your choice. If we didn't have the choice of where to place entrances and exits, people would have FITS!!! See:RCTW as an example. ALL rides have preset entrances and exits.
And when you bring in "real world" as a defense, I provided one that has a two minute load time.
I'm not saying second stations wouldn't be nice to have either. Just they really won't speed up loading. It's an aesthetic and creative choice, and they would allow people to recreate real life coasters that do that.
I agree boarding times needs tweaked. But in instances where peeps exit and enter from the same side of the station, the peeps can't enter until the other peeps have left, and that's how it works in real life as well. Again, it's your choice which station platform you choose.
[edit] Sorry, I am mixing threads. The "second station" issue was a different thread. Sorry about that.
Everything else still applies.
Gah! Again, mixing threads, my reference of the 2 minute load time is as follows.
Real life example...
The Beast at Kings Island.
Has a throughput of about 1200 peeps an hour.
Runs three trains holding 36 people, each.
It's a 7,359 ft long coaster, and the ride lasts over 4 minutes.
1200 divided by 36 is 33 trains running per hour.
60 minutes divided by 33 trains equals 1.81.
The Beast load time is 2 minutes (rounded up).
