I have created quite a big Six Flags park. My problem is that the people are only riding the rides at the beginning of the park. I have quite a few (mixed) rides toward the back of the park, easy to get to but not many people ride them. One ride might show 3 people while my rides at the front area are crammed with people. I have advertised for a particular ride but that doesn't help. I've even had to build 2 of the same rides up front because one has been too full. Yet the same ride near the back of the park doesn't get the crowd. Any ideas?

A good way i find of getting people to the back of your park. Build a monorail with a largish que around the enterance to your park. put about 3 stops in it (one at the back by your quite area) make sure you use the larger monorail trains that can carry 60 odd people.

Now quite alot of guests like the monorail and will want to ride it again to the front of the park defeating the object. to avoid this with the station queue at the back park station. make it one square only which will only hold about 4 people. then the rest of the guests stay in the back of you park.

Hope that helps. it did for me.

The tip ^ of RCT spike certainly is a good one. (works for me,too).
Another thing is that it sometimes may take quite some time before people get to ride the rides in the back of the park. In the park I am working on, it takes, in a test, some 3 gameyears untill the rides at the back of the park are as popular/full as the rides near the entrance. (and after that they stay full).
Another solution of course is to have a second entrance, in the back of your park, but if you are out of the editor already that is no solution for the current park.

Good luck
