Other Information

The Hedge Maze has a unique construction interface that can take a little time to learn. There are three modes: build, move, and fill. Also, changing or deleting part of the maze will cost money (unlike the refund that most rides give). A long or impossible maze will just make guests wait a long time and become unhappy. This ride usually needs only a one-or-two square queue line.

Peeps do not care if the maze is "hard" or not, meaning that having a maze without any branching won't affect the excitement rating or quality of the ride. Thus, when building a Maze, one should build one without branching and just make a long corridor to prevent dumber peeps from staying too long on the ride, clogging up the queue line and getting the "I want to get off..."-message.

Notes

• It does not appear in RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, but another ride similar, the Mirror Maze, does appear.
• It cannot be built underground.
• This ride is called "Hedge Maze" in RCT1.
• It never breaks down so a Mechanic is never required.
