I see a lot of people talk about the "guests complaining about queue time" bug...
Im not a developer and i have no clue on how this games mechanics were designed. But still i was able to "fix" the problem in my park, so i might as well share some idea's.
To start of, always keep in mind that the amount of stars (park rating) is directly connected to the number of guests you attract. A lower rating results in less visitors.
When i started my park i had a mainstreet, a bunch of flatrides and then tought it was a good idea to add a coaster. It always looks nice to have long queue lines on coasters so i made a huge line. To my dissapointment a few guests entered the queue and soon enough a lot turned around complaining about the waiting time. So at max. my queue was about 30% filled. And indeed, i blamed "the bug".
Due to pure luck a fellow forum member (Piedro) and i compared parks and i noticed his park rating was WAY higher then mine even tough we had roughly the same amount of rides.
(Adding rides will raise your park rating, but will also add another queue line so it won't help to attract guests to a specifik ride). Then i noticed his scenery rating was about 3 times higher then mine because he was using a lot of scenery.
Ofcourse i went to work again adding lots of scenery and NOT adding rides. This to prevent guests from spreading out. I managed to double my scenery rating, and also improved a bit on the Park Balance Bonus and the guest happyness. (im pretty sure adding scenery also raises the rides rating) Once again, this gives a direct result in the park rating and thus in the number of visitors.
By doing just this, i almost doubled the amount of visitors in my park. Once i doubled the amount of visitorsin my park, it also doubled my queue line! This theory seemed to work and at this point my coaster queue line is almost 100% filled.
Conclusion :
To have full queue lines your focus has to be on scenery rating & guest happiness, if you can get those 2 up, so will your queue lines.
(as a little "cheat" you can always use the golden chest which will boost your scenery rating with 10)
A park purely based on rides will probably never attract full queue lines.
Once again, im not saying this is THE sollution. Im merely sharing my experiences on how i was able to fill up my queue lines. Hopefully some of you might benefit from a similar approach.
For illustration :
My park (10 rides) with a lot of scenery and a coaster queue line (take a look at my ratings and guests) The queue line is full :
Same park, still 10 rides but with hardly any scenery. Once again, take a look on the park ratings and number of guests. queue line is only about 30 - 40% full :
