Why don't we talk about Shops here?

[Spanky]

We have hundreds of discussions about this and that here. We have talked about Hotels etc. . We have seen self created (currently unfuntionally) restaurants. We still have our small faciities-shops for food, drinks and hats. But no one has really talked about, what will be behind the Shops Button in our menu.

What kind of shops do you think will we get, when this button wil be active?

I just hope they'll keep the style from previous RCT's ! It does not have to look realistic, but satisfying. It's not just a simulation program, but a game, that rewards you with new unlocked things, like coasters, shops aso.. You need to get a feeling of pleasure when having it in your park and see people buying food there!

A big variety of stalls is needed to have that rewarding feeling when unlocking them though.


Look through the stalls section on this page: http://rct.wikia.com/wiki/The_Complete_Rides_List and look through RCT 3's stalls.

I'm hoping they stick with that style of stall also and perhaps expand on it a little with items like food & drink trailers! Interested to see what they have for us when that tab is finally unlocked.

 

[Snowboarderss]

Well there are some possible shop types in the game trailer.

 

[Kombiice]

Hopefully there won't be stalls that sell too many items at one place, I rather like many stalls that sell one or two items each (with micromanagement of course)

That gives you the option to have many more shops!

 

[breezerHOG1]

Im hoping for:

1) Game stalls and arcades (possibly with some type of mechanical animated shooting gallery)

2) Full scale restaurants with seating and maybe larger souvenir shops

3) Walking vendors with carts or more entertains like clowns, mimes, jugglers, facepainters & balloon animals, high dive acts, etc

4) Stage shows with seating (preferably modular seating) or some sort of "open field" system for guests to enjoy resting in

5) A security station to send vandals into "timeout" with a staff breakroom and monitor system [yesnod]

I'm really hoping that stall sell more than just one item like in previous RCT games, Real parks the shops sell a variety of items not just fires or cotton candy.

Totally disagree! It's not just about realism, but also fun! It gives you a huge variety of shops, not just 4 or 5. I liked the concept that previous RCT's had much more, they were all so different!

why cant it be both ways?

 

[PopeQ]

I am wondering how it will be with the shops when we already have facilities as well? ..

 

[breezerHOG1]

@popeQ - facilities are not pre-themed

 

[Lurker1]

why cant it be both ways?

It already is. I have built buildings which inside them have both food and drink facilities.
I have built just drink shops.

In my experience theme parks often have stalls which sell one item.

The donuts stall is a common one, they often only sell donuts.

They also usually have larger shops (the kind you walk inside) that sell a bunch of items.

So i'd say building and facilities give a very realistic simulation of this.

Oh yeah, what about Waffles, Crepe and Churros?

 

[hhardin3]

Don't forget the classic "PINK THING". [yum]

 

[Casiquire]

Nobody would be stopping anybody from choosing to only sell one item in a stall, however it also wouldn't hurt anybody to include the option to sell many things within that same stall.

 

[DreamMaster]

Wasn't there a concept ot of the shops?

 

[mark0ne]

Specifically I want a balloon shop. I mentioned this in another thread, but different shaped balloons would be fantastic.

For example you could have shapes to suit each theme. A pumpkin for the spooky theme, a dragon for the fairytale theme, a flying saucer fir the sci-do theme..etc.

You could even have mascot shaped balloons, the possibilities are enormous.

It could even be tied into the business simulation, a balloon shop starts off selling the basic round shape, but with research it can expands on the different ones available....

Yes I really wish for a Ballon Shop too, but I hope they will have realistic ballons that hover in the air. Not like the ones, which act like baseball bats in RCTW.

I would also like to see a Toy Shop whith Princess Amelie Dolls and plushy Gulpee Rex Figures.
