Queue Lines

Queue lines can be recognized by a special type of path. In RCT 1, you can only build blue queue lines. In the Loopy Landscapes expansion pack, there are 4 different colors available: Blue, yellow, green and red.

A queue line sounds easy to build. But a lot of people make them too long, or too short. The secret of having a queue line of good lenght, lies in a little math. If there is a Roller Coaster in the park, with 3 trains, with each train having 6 cars, and each car holds 4 guests in it, you can have a maximum number of: 3 × 6 × 4 = 72 people on your rollercoaster. Now, let's say that one train goes around the track one time, in 1 minute and 15 seconds. You have to take in account an extra 10 to 15 seconds for passengers to get off of the train and others on it, so you come to a total of 72 guests riding the rollercoaster, every 1 and a half minute. On one piece of queue line, there is space for about 5 guests. So, every 1 and a half minute, there are about 14 pieces of queue line emptied. If you want to have a waiting time of about 5-6 minutes (not too long, not too short), just build a queue line, that's around 50 pieces of length. Also, keep in mind that breakdowns stop the ride for a period of time. So don't go over 6 minutes, just to have some sort of buffer!!!
