Every time I instal some kind of ride or tour in my zoo, it ends up with negaive income. It happened for gondola, boat, train, every time... Is there a way to make them at least a little profitable? How? Or is it game design that forces players to ensure their income first before adding them into the zoo?
How to make profit from rides?

Hi,
if not already done:
Should you make sure that the trips go through interesting areas, or bring people to an area where they would otherwise be difficult to get.
The visitors are entitled to such a trip and this involves more than just driving in a circle without anything to see or use.
Please don't take it badly, only I noticed that people who built just such a "useless" route and were surprised that it is empty.

This also. Make it go through or very near habitats so they see animals on the ride.
Nice zoo, I really like it 
My first boat trip was only for transport and I was aware that my guest may not like it that much. But the others were crossing the habitats and I'm sure the guests saw the animal because one was always on the track.
I wasn't aware I can modify ticket price, will look into that, thanks

The default ticket price is $1 per section, which is nowhere near enough to be profitable.
My own Franchise Zoo train is a money pit, losing $4,000 per year. I've kept the $1 ticket price at all stations. I don't really care, as the rest of the zoo more than makes up for the loss, and I want the train primarily to be a people pump, shuttling guests away from the main concourse out to the far corners of the zoo where very few people seem to want to walk all the way over from the main gate.
