"I wish I could've stayed longer to see the (species name)" Guest Thought

I think it has something to do with the Fact that every Guest Group has a planned Time when they'll leave.
I would recommend to find out if you can build Path Shortcuts somewhere in your Zoo to let Guests travel faster.
I assume Guests make each other also slower if there's a Group that cloggs the whole Width of the Path, so you can either try extra wide Paths or try to set a Guest Limit.
You can also use Vehicles like Trains or Jeeps but this can cause the Game to run bad

Each guest has a list of favourite animals they want to see. If they end their visit before seeing them all then they will sometimes have this thought. It doesn't have a big impact on happiness or profits etc. in my experience and often it is impossible to ensure they can get to everything in bigger zoos (especially as sometimes their pathing is really bad). I do find that transport rides help (not really to get guests from a to b but because if they go through or past animal enclosures on the transport ride that counts as seeing them) and if you have got loads of these thoughts then it is worth thinking about whether there is anything you can do to make your zoo easier to navigate - wider paths etc. I know for the people who have a fixed idea about what they want their zoo to look like this won't be helpful but if you are like me and enjoy slowly evolving your zoo it can be a good prompt to see if there are improvements you can make even if it involves completely redesigning or moving the layout etc.
Thing is also the guests are coded to leave the zoo after one hour tops and will leave no matter what. So if the keep spending their already limited time running between drink and food shops, like they still do sadly, instead of going to see those animals you'll get that message.
You can turn that limit off in sandbox, but it makes it impossible to play with economy on 'cause there's still the bug that turns off donations right along with it >.>

I've noticed that the guests will have comments from multiple visits listed too, so they might say, I wish I couldn't stayed long enough to see the Boa Constrictor in one line, but then it has another saying they thought the Boa Constrictor was awesome.
My favorite is still the one where a guest was standing by my wolf enclosure thinking, "The view of the Timber Wolf from here is stunning," and one of the animals had just died and was lying dead right by the habitat barrier a few feet away from said guest.
My least favorite is "I enjoyed my view of the [insert animal name]. You can tell they put a medium amount of planning into it." I've no idea what to make of that. Would anyone ever think that in real life?
