Park Entrances

[IG Lord Ragtag]

In JWE, the park entrance was always in same place. I undestand why as the guests needed to arrive by monorail, which had to originate from an 'off site' location, which fixed it in the same place on map generation. This made the replay value of those maps in the JW era less, as the map generally dictated how you had to build.

The RTJP dlc rectfied that for only the JP era with a placeable heli pad entrance. Maps played in that era had a higher replay value.

For JWE 2 I fear same situation with a monorail entrance will occur.

There are 2 ways to kind of circumvent that, random start location and different methods of arrival.

Randomized Start Location

If using a monorail entrance, have 3-4 locations per map where the entrance rail could appear to come from offsite. Upon map generation add a randomizer to change the entrance location.

Different Methods of Arrival

Have different, placeible, entrance buildings. Besides the JP era helipad (make this available to all eras), I think the following would be interesting:

Small runway with arrivals/departures of small buisness jets

Boat Docks and warf - placeible along any part of a coastline, ships coming/going

Subway - kind of replaces monorail entrance, to make it easier then a randomizer.

So far there's no indication what form of entrance exists in JWE2... that said, it would be weird if they went with the Monorail entrance again. Our parks are set up on the mainland, where access to our parks aren't defined by where the water is and how we get guests (without a form of transportation of their own) from a dock to the actual park...

Yes we will be on mainland in campaign but what about a coast line, people could walk from boats to park proper or use a shuttle bus.for Chaos Theory, those will be on Los Cinco Muertes and docks would most definitely be viable. Same goes for Sandbox maps.

The point is to randomize with different types the start location so that we do not start from same place and direction everytime we load a new game. This will keep maps fresh and increase thier replayability.

I don't have a convenient screeshot of this, but a few sweeping shots we've seen so far have a large structure at the oppoisite end of the main street from the innovation center. It's not certain but I strongly suspect that is the park entrance, and I can't see anything leading away from it outside of what I can assume is the park borders.

Yeah I seen that one... the building on the right side of the picture, with the fancy roof... has no obvious function, but is placed at what looks like the front of the park. They have the picture on their Facebook page.

Could be the entrance... although how people would enter and leave isn't clear... doesn't look like there's a place for a helicopter or anything like that. Looks like there might be something behind it though...

As someone who desperately wants the JP style, I back Helipads

If I were to make an educated guess, I believe the park entrance could be an underground railway/monorail station. Similar to the monorail terminal from Westworld. There’s a glass roof just behind the main building in the lower right corner, presumably the platform is directly underneath.
