Optimization of Roller Coaster Amount/Appeal #40

Open hkscreen opened 10 years ago

hkscreen commented 10 years ago

I'm proposing to change either the amount of roller coasters in order minimize the wait time, or maximize the amount of appeal on the roller coasters that you have ,not necessarily proposing that all roller coasters have the same appeal, but have enough roller coasters of high appeal so that there is not as large a wait time on the better coasters.

This is an interesting proposal. So this is essentially the same as suggesting that they tear down unappealing rides and build some new ones, a common practice.

Either that or just add more with some appeal, or change the rides somehow to make them more appealing. Inherent in this would be some kind of mathematical analysis in order to determine how to minimize the wait time to a constant, without adding or taking away too many rides.

Anyway this would be one of our planned proposals for wait management products.
