How Do I Get More Visitors And Earn More Money?
« on: August 08, 2005, 12:29:20 PM »
Hi...I haven't been playing Wildlife Park that much, but some. I'm having trouble getting more visitors in my zoo, one time I got 18, but average is 11 and in the campaigns I need 20, 30 or more, so does anyone have any tips? I don't know why they won't come, even if the entrance is free it doen't help.

Second I'm having trouble making money, any tips besides cheats?

visitors are really difficult to get i find in Wildlife Park they dont count how many visitors you have in total just how many are in your zoo at that particular time.  make sure you have plenty of the visitor attractions that they can go into when it is raining otherwise they will all leave your zoo. also make sure you have lots of exhibits and nice decorated walkways that lead around the zoo because the further they have to walk to see all the animals the longer they stay in the zoo and the more chance you have of getting the right number of people (in later scenerios you have to have over 200 people in your zoo at once - very tough) also put lots of donation boxes around so peoiple willdonate as that gives yu lots of money.

Thanks,
In zoo tycoon it's easier, because like you mention in wildlife you have to have for example 20 at the same time not just total.

I find it hard in campaign, because the space and resources are limited, only 2-3 different animals in this campaign, so difficult...

I don't know why many of the "visitors" say they are satified, when they come near the entrance and then just walks home, it can't be the prices ;)

The visitors complain a lot about the paths that they could be landscaped better, but how? I try lowering, lifting or making bridges, but that doesn't seem to help.

for making paths nicer try placing stuates etc and tressa nd plants inside the walkways find stuff that has higher decoration values and place it between the walkways so that the visitors can walk up the paths and see the stuatues and platns on one side and the animals on the other. (i think the monkey tree and the dragon tree have one of the most highest decoration values so place many of them around inside the paths also make sure that your gardner waters them or people get upset.

and as for those people just going in then leaving straight away yes is is so annoying and it usually happens when you need just acouple of people in the zoo to complete and you sit there for ages watching them turn away at the enternace even though your prices are set to zero.

I'm glad it's not just me they won't visit  :D
Thanks for the tips, I'll try it. To bad you can't force people inside :whistle and that you can't pick neither the animals nor the people and place them somewhere else, like zoo tycoon.

with the animals you can put them somewhere else you need to hire a animal trapper then point at which animal you want him to crate then you can lift the crate and move it. but you cant do that with the people unfortunately :rofl.

Ohhh yeah forgot, but have tried it.
Yes to bad, you can't with the people ;)
Kind of strange that the visitors enter the zoo with their behind first  :lol:

Finally got 30 visitors, but damm they are hard to please, either the satisfaction is over 80 % or the visitorcount is high, had 29 some times, but then the satisfaction got under 80 %, but it help with your tips. Ok I got 30 but that was hard, not looking forward to the 200 you talked about, but maybe if it's a bigger zoo ;)
