Ok this is an idea I had. It would take the gameplay in a new direction. Taking the control of animals, staff and guests! Some examples what I imagined: Maybe you can take control of your avatar and move him with the keys W,A,S,D through your zoo. You can make him do things he would normally do as well. Visiting facilities or animals and interact with objects. Taking control of the zookeeper and doing the works of making food and cleaning the enclosures ( and things the other staff do). Choosing a animal and making it walk in the enclosure and interacting with animals and objects. Basically everything they all do now, but you have the control of them. I hope I could explain what I mean.

Even better! Real time first person chopping up meat and vegetables in-between hosing down habitats so guests don't complain about the mess
While i generally would prefer other things to done first (like BETTER WATER), taking control of an animal would be nice to check wether all areas of an enclosure are actually accesible to the animal and wether there is any avenue for the animal to escape.
There's a view mode where you can see the area accessible to an animal and the possible points of escape in a habitat.
That would be ... a completely different game. Not just in terms of playing but in terms of programming/processing etc. I mean ... those keeper actions making food and etc are just looped animations, not actual individual actions. So there's nothing to 'control'. Basically the same for the animals, just their animations are more complex.
