Buildings & Attractions Expanding the park building experience

Your Feature Request / Idea
I'd argue one of the biggest limitations of the game right now is that there is very little variety when it comes to attractions. There are only 4 primary ways for guests to experience your park, those being the viewing platforms, the hotel overlook, the monorail, and the gyrosphere. It is slightly disappointing that there aren't more options for building a unique Jurassic experience, especially considering what we've seen in other JP franchise media. There's the classic Jeep tour from JP, the river boat tour from JW and JP3, and let's not forget the hot air balloon from JPOG! The roller coaster from the Telltale JP game would be fun as well. Heck, throw in the gentle giants petting zoo from JW for the kids. Point is, I think the game would benefit from a wider variety of attractions, as we have so many awesome dinosaurs yet so few ways to show off those dinosaurs. Not to mention that it would allow us to tailor our parks towards different kinds of guest experiences (nature preserve, luxury resort, amusement park/zoo, etc...) Barring that, I think alt skins for buildings would be a close second, I'd love to reskin the Innovation center as the visitor center from JP, or the gyrosphere depot as a jeep depot.

(I should mention that I don't think the mosasaur lake or the aviary would be the best attractions to start with, simply because they are huge and would take up way too much space on maps that are already relatively small. Unless we get that Nublar expansion everyone is clamoring for, I'd start with attractions with a smaller footprint.)

Sign’s and safaris

Yes! And one thing that could be added in a free update is a sign you could write on. And I really like the idea of a safari tour where you could have an entrance building and an exit building. and you could put the exit building and the entrance building wherever you want on the enclosure.

I would love to see everything you suggested in the game! Adding on to your idea of different guest experiences, I think another great idea would be the Jungle Trek safari-bus-thingy from Jurassic World. This would definitely fit well with the "nature preserve" experience. Or maybe a helicopter tour? Which would definitely fall under "luxury resort."

However, from a management standpoint, I do think that there should be differences between attractions of the same function. For example, the jeep tour would serve the same function as the gyrosphere ride. To differentiate between the two, the gyrosphere would be more expensive to build, and would be more expensive for guests to ride, but would provide a higher fun rating. Just an example. This is in contrast to what you said about the jeep ride just being a reskined gyrosphere.

I agree with your suggestion about giving the jeep and gyrosphere tours different price attributes, that would definitely serve to make sure that adding the jeep tour in doesn't make the gyrosphere redundant. I simply suggested reskinning as a less labor-intensive alternative to entirely new attractions.
