I don't understand how the ticketing system works

So, when I give the park an admission price, it says that guests expect attraction tickets to be cheaper. Where do guests buy attraction tickets? Who do they show or give the ticket to when they enter a queue or board the ride? The same questions arise with priority passes. At any park I've been to, you either need to show your pass or scan it upon entering the queue. None of this happens in the game. Am I missing something here?
 
Yes, there is no animation for it.

As for when guest buy tickets, when the ride dispatches, this is the time when you earn your money (unless they changed it)

AS for priority passes, they actually loose their pass at the same time i guess, they just lose the inventory item and that's it.

So I wasn't sure if a priority pass is good for all the rides in a park, or if they have to buy a pass for each ride.
 
It's the same with the pool pass... There is absolutely no visualisation for it.
Peeps probably buy it while entering the park, but there’s no visual control who is allowed to enter pools.

Peeps buy the pool pass at the Guest Services building. But yes, there is no visualization for showing the pass to anyone when doing the water attractions. This doesn't really bother me much. Maybe because I don't go to water parks much, and the fact that water parks are usually a separate gated park and are self contained. I'm not aware of any actual theme parks that have pools and water slides mixed with regular attractions, although I may be wrong.

Youre actually not missing anything here. Frontier is the one missing something here. At this point is this any surprise? I mean not realy, we got ride operators leaving coasters with guests on the trains going on a break.

I understand that frontier cant make a complete real life simulation, but cmon it shouldnt be that hard to just program one employe to stand around the entrance gates or airgates of the stations. Shouldnt be that hard to program operators to stay at their workplace till replacement arrives. If none arrives then make that emplyee quit. That way we are still moved towards actually paying attention to their planning.

Who knows, maybe in a future update we will see these queue greeters added back in, but tbh i highly doubt that
 
I'm simply hoping that many of these issues are going to be fixed. What we've got now is a work in progress. There are still so many things that just seem off. To me, it seems the game is simply still in beta, and many of these mechanics aren't fleshed out completely yet. They needed to get the game out to generate some income, so they pushed a bare bones game out the door, and planned to flesh out all the things that are still in the unfinished stages. And I'm not really surprised or upset by this. It seems to be the game industry standard to release games as early access, whether they call it that or not. And I actually enjoy the process of seeing a game like this develop as things are tweaked and added. I bought PC1 in early access, and I feel I've done the same with this game. I knew it wasn't in a very good state when it was released, and I did wait some time before purchasing. I knew it still had a ways to go, but I wanted to start playing around with it, knowing that I'd likely need to wait quite a bit longer until I can really dive in and get serious about building any parks. I have faith that Frontier will be adding a lot of fixes, tweaks, and content over time. We may not get everything we want, but I think we'll get a lot of what we're asking for. We just need patience.
