Building hype for your new parks and rides in the game.

Hello everyone,
I think it would be cool if we could have some more realistic strategies of promoting your parks and rides in the game. For example, maybe we could have closed test groups come into a new park, a new area of your park, or even ride a new ride before it is open to the public. This could either grow or weaken the hype or popularity for your new park or attraction depending on its quality. The people in the closed test groups would share their opinion with other people, giving your park a presence in the media, which would grow your parks popularity. It wouldn't be terribly confusing, so you would only see a few highlighted reviews of your park and those would effect the outcome of people on opening day. It does seem like a bit of a long shot to make it into the game, due to the complexity of the idea, but I still thought I would suggest it anyways.

Other people have suggested similar ideas. Im hoping Frontier steps things up in terms of management from RCT3, but advertising isnt a big deal to me. I think it would be cool to have like a "grand opening" thing for new rides, but I dont know how that would work. I mean, placing a ride increases guests, advertising increases guests, what more can we do?

One idea of mine would be to have certain scenery objects that only last for a certain time, like maybe there could be balloons by the gate that eventually float away or something? but even that seems unnecessary.

The biggest problem with a lot of requests such as this, is that we need a more appropriate time system like one day in game = 1 hour real time, and then we can have parks close for the night and all different additions for ticket prices and even hotels.

This is where I think a "design mode" would be a good idea. Once you're done with the design, it could take let's say a month for the ride to be constructed and open and in that time people will swarm into the park and get in line.

Those are some great ideas! I remember the devs mentioning in one of the livestreams that we would be able to close our parks for night, so I think that a better and longer day/night system will be in the game.

It wasn't like a big announcement or anything, it was just something I remember one of the devs mentioning was in development. I don't remember which stream I heard it in, but I'm pretty sure I heard something about it. I don't know for sure though, so I'm not trying to confirm anything for the game or anything like that.
