Monorail options

[Skawt]

Hello Frontier,

I have a minor suggestion. It'd be nice to have a monorail that was about half the height of the current one. Even at that height it will still put the track far out of reach of the largest carnivores - some sauropods, not so much. The reason I suggest this is because from an aesthetic point of view, I feel the tall one really takes away the majesty of the dinosaurs and buildings it runs near. The innovation center, the Amphitheatre, Rexes, Spinos, etc. should be centerpieces of the park.

Edit: Just wanted to add, with a lower monorail, I would definitely have it weave more throughout my park. Doing so now would make the monorail the primary attraction, rather than a feature of the park itself.

Edit2: I'm also not saying remove the current one - it has its uses.

Nice idea.

I was about to create a new thread but I'd be wasting my time doing so. It'd be great to have a less imposing Monorail system.

The current system isn't exactly the most charming of designs, it's ugly and sticks out way too much, it is also a hassle to play around with as we can't play around with the transport building's direction of which they go (Shuttle Monorails=if going right they have to enter the next station on the left side same goes for the Vehicle Tour Buildings).

The stations are far too big and bulky, the entrance area feels impossible to decorate due to the awkward shape of it.

It would also be nice to have an underground network (basically the Hyperloop system for non-Biosyn era buildings) to grant access to other parts of the park without ruining the natural area (For example on Isla Nublar 1993 with the hill going down towards the lower expanse of land).

The Jurassic World Monorail gate should be a placement item as an entrance point.

If we can't at least have a change of Monorail design, it would be great to have them be buildable in the areas outside the buildable zones on the mountains similar to the image below:

It would be nice to have a modular monorail station as well to have more customization. The same way the business buildings are in the game. Maybe have a way to change the colors of the lights on the monorail station and maybe decorations. And a choice of an elevated station or a station on the ground. The monorail station in Jurassic World is a different design that is to a lower level.

I also thought to myself several times, the most frustrating I find is when you place a monoral circuit on an area with several levels of height, instead of being able to choose the height of the monoral circuit, this one adapts according to the environmental constraints of this fact it forms a kind of waves from top to bottom... not very aesthetic...
we should have the possibility to place the monoral at the height we want (The circuit would trace like the rollercoasters in Planet Coaster) and to place several kinds of stations (high as we currently have, medium an intermediate version and low as you suggest).

To add onto this, there are a few other changes, both big and small, that would be good to have for the monorail:

For the stations, it would be great to rebuild the original station design from the movies and the previous game. It seems rather strange that the new game's monorail station is both less film accurate and (somewhat) more visually dull compared to its predecessor.

A 6 Carriage Monorail option; shown both from the movie and the previous game's reveal trailer. This could be a researchable upgrade/option for the 4 car train currently in the game, perhaps unlocked towards the end of JW Chaos Theory. Thanks to this longer train, the park’s overcrowding is reduced by 10%.

The Jurassic World logo on both ends and sides of the train, a very minor detail but nonetheless one that would good to have.

Regarding the monorail gates, not only would it be great to be able to build the iconic gates from the film and 2015 map but it would also be good to have gates similar to those from the previous game which have additional signage underneath showcasing their location, such as San Diego and Germany, etc.

Neat

Nice to see this topic pick up steam, even if the game had to "bake" for a year first lol.

Thanks for the support.
