If Frontier provides us with a modding API where you can change and add nearly everything around, we do not really have to worry if we will get those features, it's more like a question if we'll get it from the devs or from a player.
Theme Park Queues

Oh my god, queuetime boards would be awesome.
Probably wouldn't be too hard to implement either, but that also means they need to give queues an estimated queue time (no other game has done that yet).
I prefer the ability to switch how long the queue line is, without editing the line entirely. (Like a modern queue) The more people in the queue, the more you can edit it so the queue is longer than it usually is. (Most parks wait until the queue is falling out of the entrance before making the queue bigger by opening sections.)
+1 . It is a great idea, it'll be great if we could do that. Build a big queue line and have the ability to switch between the sections we have made to enlarge or shrink the Q-Line.
That would be so cool but one problem. I love the feeling that I can walk trough the whole queue. [squeeeeee] But great idea. It gives the game an other part of realistic themeparks.
The cool features to make realism better.

I'll copy-paste my post about cattle-pen here, since this thread might be more relevant.
While it's already better than previous titles, it's still not quite that. Here are the three main issues in my opinion:
1: The current path comes with fancy rounded corners. It's fancy (yet personnaly I don't like the look of it), but eats up a lot of valuable space.
2: Railings have discontinuity, where in real life it's just one big piece.
3: All fences are on both sides, resulting of a redundancy.
Another difference is that the raillings inside a cattle-pen are usually very light. It's either a simple metal fence, chain links, or poles with ropes inbetween. That also means the pavement is uninterrupted and have only borders on the outsides of the cattle-pen.

At the entrance of the queue line, I think we might find: Ride logo, waiting time, safety warnings, the infamous measuring stick and why not a test seat for big coasters!

+1 for the cattle-pen way. That's how most parks do it. I really hope we're able to get queues in the game like that.
Please give us options for the queues. Give us the option to add queue timers. Give us the option to add fastpass. Give us the option to theme the queue. Give us the option to have guests who don't immediately leave a queue due to a breakdown. Give us the option to have guests leave queues due to fear/needing toilet/hungry/want to go on another ride. Please just make queues as open ended as possible, and as realistic as possible, so we can have more freedom in creating our parks.
I think this is an issue most easily solved by having a queue laying tool that posses both a curved/rounded corner and a straight/squared corner option. I don't think the inclusion of something like this would be far fetched in the slightest!
I would love to be able to create something like Wodan queue-line. it's underground, and full off "effects", like one where everything is shaking because of Icelandic deamon or something. and another part where a bunch of statues on the ceiling are looking at the train as it leaves.

Fast forward to the middle section of the clip. I loved the animatronics in RCT3, and i would love to have some made just for queue-lines <2

I just hope that queues are more compact then in rct3. I hated how big and clunky they were. [haha]
I completely agree with most of the comments on here about the queues. Being able to do cattle pens/switchbacks/wandering paths would be great.
I go to Disneyland in the USA often and it is very common to have the larger coasters (Space Mt., Splash Mt., Indy and so on) well over an hour wait and people just keep lining up. I have heard of people waiting 6-8 hours in a queue for new attractions.
The longest I have personally waited was when Radiator Springs opened in California Adventure and that was 4+ hours in 95 degree heat.

No ... PLEASE NOOO !!! Not this [haha]
I want to be able to create long and themed queues like we can now but also so called "Cow Pen" queues where they just wind back and forth, i want to also have a combination of both for the same ride.
During the live streams we could see the queues. It seems every ride queue starts with this HUGE arc at the beginning of the line.
I really hope this is just a modular thing and not something that pops up with every line. Would be a pain for building lines inside buildings...

Agreed! That´s something from the Live Stream that I didn´t like. I hope these are optional and we can start the queue with different signs or no sign at all.

I would imagine that we could either not place a entrance sign or build custom or different types. Maybe its just not in the game yet.
Agree ! +1 [up]
Hope we have the version without any "building/arc/thing" to build our own !
(And if we can import our own logo, it's even better, because personally, I like to name and make a real "brand" with a real ride sign logo, for any of my rides, at least it was the case in RCT3)
