I did quick search of the forums and found nothing but I am sure this has been said before. I would like to see an option to allow guests to stay in the Que line for a ride if it breaks down. Especially as guests Pay to join the line (do they get refunded if the ride breaks down and they turn around? I have not noticed) or how about some kind of pass for free entry to the Que later as a minimum (like at Disney they give you a fast pass valid for any attraction if the ride toy are quing for breaks down and they have to close it for a long period)
Stay in Queue when ride breaks down
- Thread starter gobbybobby
- Start date
Seems like a good compromise
I second this. When a ride breaks down, not everyone should instantly leave.
I was just coming onto the forum to make this exact comment myself! It really REALLY bugged me in RCT3 and I really hoped it would not be present in PC. On the plus side, at least random 'caution fences' don't just pop up when they break/shut down but when all the guests leave immediately, it's very frustrating and entirely unrealistic. Particularly annoying on rides with a long queue due to a small throughput of guests!
+1 to the compromise! 
[additional suggestion] It might be a bit much to add to the suggestion (if they decided to add a little more complexity to the peeps), but maybe each peep can have their own patience level, similar to their intensity levels/preferences, while some can have high patience would stay in line, and their mood/thoughts can be improved by moving up in line because of other impatient peeps. Patience can possibly be used to impact their mood for long/short rides, crowd of people trying to get through, food lines, etc. Though of course it's only a nice-to-have category feature, and not needed.

I posted about this too. Some people do end up leaving the queue, but I know not everyone does. I've stayed in line while they fix the issue... super annoying seeing everyone leave a line when a ride breaks down.... even more annoying once it's fixed and they all magically teleport to the ride exit...
I think there need to be a variation to this which would require improvement to the ride break-down process. Peeps leaving the queue should be based on a type of breakdown. For something like "Restraint Stuck" that is a quick fix and peeps should remain in the queue. However, let's say there is a more serious breakdown such as electrical failure or faulty hardware, those are not a quick fix and in most real-life cases, the ride would be closed for the rest of the day or several days at which point the peeps should leave the queue.

Or the longer it takes for the ride to be fixed the more their happiness decreases, and if it gets too low then they leave.
this has been mentioned in another post, (link below) i hope this is took into consideration

Kinda disappointed that this feature hasn't been implemented yet. If this was a proper coaster sim, all the guests shouldn't leave the queue line. If a ride does down at Disney randomly, people just don't leave. The ride normally goes back up in a good 30 minutes if something major happened.
