'''Path items''' are accessories placed on [[Paths|footpaths]] that provide comfort to your guests and beautify your park. Each type of item has a different effect. Path items are placed at sides of a path which are not connected to other paths, or to ride entrances/exits or shops. Connecting a path will remove the path items on that side. Path items, except for fountains, cannot be placed on 4 way intersections. All path items (besides signs and jumping fountains) can be vandalized if a guest becomes angry. All path items (except signs and jumping fountains) are free to remove and do not provide a refund.

=== Benches ===
=== Benches ===
'''Benches''' allow guests to rest. Guests usually sit on benches when they are low on energy, have high nausea, or are consuming food or drink. Placing too many benches can cause guests to delay fulfilling their bodily needs (food, drink, bathroom), causing them to have unhappy thoughts and lowering your park rating. Benches cannot be placed at sloping paths.

=== Lamps ===
=== Lamps ===
The two '''Lamps''' do not serve any vital purpose in Roller Coaster Tycoon and Roller Coaster Tycoon 2, because there is no night feature. They are purely decoration. In Roller Coaster Tycoon 3, lamps are required to light paths during nighttime.

=== Banner Signs ===
=== Banner signs ===
'''Banner signs''' display custom messages, broadcasting over the path. Banner signs cannot be vandalized like other path items. Custom Messages have absolutely no effect on the guests whatsoever. Banner signs also have a "No Entry" function that prevents guests from passing under it (Staff, however, will not obey no-entry signs). Use them to seal off sections of park which you do not want guests entering without preventing guests behind the signs from being trapped (Such as a path leading out of a ride exit).

Banner signs also have a "no entry" function that prevents guests from passing under it (staff members, however, are not affected by this). They are used to seal off sections of the park the player does not wish to be overcrowded (ride exits) or to prevent the guests from getting lost.

Place a no entry sign near the park entrance will prevent guests from leaving. This will help retain guests to meet your goal, but can also dramatically reduce park rating.

=== Jumping Fountains ===
=== Jumping fountains ===
'''Jumping Fountains''' (or '''Jumping Snowballs''') launch water (or snowballs) over the path. They do not serve any purpose except for decorations. If you put many of these over your paths, your guests will think, "These jumping fountains are great." Jumping fountains/snowballs cannot be vandalized.
