Grandstands
« on: June 11, 2006, 08:45:28 AM »
I have noticed a lot of questions lately regarding guests not attending shows.

Tip #1. When placing grandstands make sure you have only 1 width of path between the grandstand and the show tank. This allows your zoo guests to use the grandstands.

Tip #2. Use only 1 with of path so guests are not seated too far away from the show and are able to view the show from the stands.

Tip #3. Watching shows makes guests tired, thirsty, hungry and use a bathroom so make sure you have a bathrom and a restaurant fairly close to the show exhibit so these needs can be taken care of.

Tip #4  Try not to repeat tricks in shows

If anyone else has any other useful grandstand tips please feel free to post them here.

Try placing them in High traffic areas and make sure nothing is blocking the guest's like rocks or fences this has happened to me before

Just a little addition to YR's Tip #3--if it's a really popular show in a big zoo with tons of guests, I will usually put in 2-3 restaurants right on the paths leading to the grandstands. That way guests won't complain about the restaurants being too crowded. I have had that happen to me too many times! :rolleyes:
