Signs and Items for Footpaths
Path items are accessories placed on 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 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.
Types of Items
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.
Cost: $5
Trash Cans
Trash cans allow guests to dispose of food waste and rubbish. These alleviate the litter problems in your park. They require emptying by your handymen/janitors after being used by large amounts of guests.
Cost: $3
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.
Cost: $4/5/6 (different styles)
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).
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.
Cost: $25/30 (different styles)
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.
Cost: $20
