Escalators and moving walkways would be really awesome to have. I hope we have elevators, I'm assuming their will be stairs.
Moving walkways would be cool!!
Any other escalators and elevators would just add more realism and design possibilities.

I like moving walkways. The simple fact of having the ground moving at different speeds relative to one another is a great opportunity to have fun.
Unfortunately, most moving walkways we are used to are designed to be purely functional. There is very little space to goof around. In the rare places where you could have enough space, it's usually at a constantly moving ride station like Disney's phantom manor for example. Not only you are already busy doing something else (embarking/disembarking the actual ride), but there are station operator keeping watch and stopping everything at the first sign of someone doing something unusual.
I have found one example of a moving walkway actually designed to encourage people having fun : the 1900 Paris universal expo Edison moving boardwalk.
Not only the moving walkway was the actual ride, it was not one but two blended moving walkways at different speeds, and it was designed to allow (encourage) people having fun and move between the different walkways.

Stairs always look good, I'm surprised stairs cannot be made in the alpha, even if they are bad news for wheelchair-bound peeps. Ramps and elevators are accessible. RCT3 elevators were fun!
Elevators would be sweet. Nice wide stone steps with trees on either side would look really good too.

My suggestion about stairs : 3 differents states (and not 2, like now)
1) First path (with already have)
2) Something in the middle (steeper than the first, but less than the third)
3) Stairs (The same path we have in his second state, but with stairs because it's too steep)

That looks awesome Angelis and certainly the way I had envisaged what has been suggested here. We do certainly need stairs, escalators & lifts because of how much verticality the game is providing.

Well, it's the "Suggestions and Ideas" sub-forum so ... It's more what we hope to do in the game [yesnod]
