Exit-only stations for transport rides

[xiiliea]

There should be exit-only stations for transport rides. I want guests to ride from the entrance to remote areas of the maps, but people from those areas keep taking the rides back through the entrance, and as a result, the people at the entrance can't board fast enough.

Forgot to add: It would also help with ferrying people out of the entrance area which gets extremely crowded later on in the game. I need people to get out of the area, but then people are also coming back in.

The problem here is that TRANSPORT RIDES HAVE BEEN BROKEN SINCE 1.7 or 1.8, whenever it was that Frontier allowed peeps to view transport rides as entertainment, not merely transport. When this happened, transport rides suddenly became the most attractive rides in the park because 1) they (like all track rides) get way too much excitement for their slow speeds, 2) they're slow and have long tracks so they have huge durations, and 3) they pass by the whole park so get huge track scenery. All this gives them incredibly high prestige and they have low fear because they're slow.

The result is that transport rides are now overwhelmingly attractive to peeps as entertainment, so that's all they get used for now. And when peeps board them for entertainment instead of transport, they ALWAYS ride the full circuit, getting off at the same station they boarded. Thus, if you have a transport station near the park entrance, it will NOT get peeps out of the entrance area, because they keep coming back. Also, the ride's stats cause it to attract even more peeps there wanting to ride it.

Bottom line: Transport rides are broken. There have been several bug reports on this but no action so far.
