I cannot find answer anywhere and I'm not sure if anyone has tried: when placing two Jurassic Tours on the same enclosure, can they be connected to one another? Also, Gyrosphere gates work for them? Ty
Question for those with the DLC
- Thread starter Alan_Grady
- Start date
I don't have the DLC @Alan_Grady , but:
Gyrospheres have their own specific gates, so does the Jurassic Tour. It's evident in their design, as shown in BIS's DLC preview video in YT.
As for 2 Jurassic Tours connecting to one another, I think not. Game mechanics dictate that whatever building a vehicle comes out of, it always returns to it, & I dont think the paths of 2 Jurassic Tours can be made to intersect each other, since the Jurassic Tour seems to basically have the same mechanics as the Gyrosphere.

Thanks for the answer. I was fearing this might be the case but there's too little info out there yet so I hoped anyone with the DLC could confirm. This feature would be the only one for me to get the DLC asap lol
Whoops I just made a thread about this. But yes you cannot connect two tours like you can with gyrospheres so I am hoping that they can fix it.
You can't connect 2 gyrosphere stations. There's nothing to fix, since each gyro station having their own track layout is fine as it is.
Really? I could have sworn you could connect gyro stations to each other.
No, it's not. Attraction options are already limited, but transport's case is hideous. I mean, no more option but place monorail all over the place, c'mon. I could understand about Gyrospheres to a certain extent, being vehicules self-driven and potentially driveable by guests, but Jurassic Tour seemed perfect to work as both attraction AND transport. Either that, or some kind of land transport is as sorely needed as more attraction options like Viewing Dome, Dino-soar, Cretaceous Cruise, etc
This. I never use the monorail because of how ugly it is and a pain to place but when I do its only to link different areas of the park. I was really hoping to solve this issue forever by using the Jurassic Tour as a means to transport guests around the park. I feel that they should let gyros and tour trucks connect and serve as a transport but make it so that transporting people is less than monorails that way monorails still have a use. The idea being that if they can rehaul/fix the guest system monorails would carry about 50 or whatever amount of people per train where as a truck could carry six and gyros only carrying two. You could further balance this out with gyros having the highest fun rating with tours being second and monorail being last.
Yes. They could also go for dinosaur visibility too. Monorail providing the more fun, but the less visibility; Jurassic Tour providing less fun, but better visibility. Just a thought.
I'm not sure about Gyrostations interconnecting tbh, but it would be could. Still, I'd settle with Jurassic Tours interconnection. But I feared it might not be the case, so I'm waiting for the fix before getting them.
I have a solution to your monorail placement problems. I always drop stations in the areas I want to connect first. Then I put a little track out from each end of the station. Because we know how much of a pain it is to connect track to a station (sharp curves and other restrictions), but its always easy to start track and connect track to track. So basically I'm able to get Monorail stations where I need them most easily.
Thanks for the tip =)
That's what I'm doing most of the time but that's not the point. I just don't like having monorail tracks all over the map, it feels wrong and ruins the landscape, not to mention they sometimes contribute to terrain constraints cluttering it all.
To connect at least two Jurassic Tour stations feels a lot more natural but, again, if the problem is gameplay, at least allow that on Sandbox.
The maps are way to small for me to ever use the monorail. Even the larger maps they look awful and its really hard to make the rails look nice. Would be really great to have the Jurassic Tours as an alternative at the very least.
Apparently, they still can't. Gyrospheres certainly can't and they are bound to work in the very same way. Sad panda
Why not just do what Jurassic World did with the majority of the monorail's tracks, have them built next to the edge of the island's valleys?
This is the same building method I use for my island's monorail system. The steep sides of the valleys featured in all of the maps make for a fantastic backdrop and the visitors will still get a decent view of the dinosaurs when traveling to different areas of the park.
That's what I'm doing too but, as I've said, it still ruins the landscape. I even try to place as little station as I can and completely avoid making a 'double loop' of monorail track encircling the whole map.
Similar to what I do with the monorail, I only build stations where I feel it’s absolutely necessary. With Isla Muerta, Isla Tacaño, Isla Pena and Muerta East, the monorail is a shuttle and there are only two stations (this may change when I revisit these maps, and rearrange the buildings and enclosures). The only looped monorail system I have is on Isla Sorna with the track and stations built next to the mountain in the middle of the map.
well what some of us would like is to have jurassic tour be point A and another building be point B so you can ferry people between the two buildings as you can with monorails without having to struggle hiding a huge monorail track. Coding wise this should be a relatively easy feat so there is no reason not to include it when many people flat out dont want to use the monorail.
Agreed. Also, I know it seems clear by now that JWE is far from a tycoon or building game but having more options is what people is being roaring for since the very launch because, dinosaurs aside, options are very limited in this game so, why not make a little fix like this while taking time for designing all new features?
