Anyone any ideas as to how to get 50 people to see the show towin this one? I have lowered the price so it is free to encouage people, lower the price ofthe swim shacks to £2 etc but still can'tpeople to that island and have over 800 in the zoo.

Help - its driving me nuts!!

I remember doing this in MM1(and I sometimes do it in ZT2). I would put an animal near swim shack or whatever it is and that should atract more guests. While the guests have free time from veiwing the animal, they can go to the swim shack!
  Hope this helps!:thumbsup:

It works quite nicely, when you put in swim lanes (like the ones in swim races). Only leave the shacks that would get your guests to the island with the show. That way, all swimmers only go one way. Most guests will watch more than one show. Every visit counts.

You have to start out this way. Once you get unhappy guests, it very hard to get the zoo rating up again.

Thanks for you help guys. I'm currently working on the Giant Marine Park scenario and will go back to the swimmer scenario soon. The thing I also find hard is what animals to use as you can alter terrain height, type etc. What animals have you guys all used & where.

Any more help much appreciated.

1.Err (I'm not sure if this might work) you can try picking the guests up to where the swim shack is.
2.Make another food court area near the swim shack. That helps me!:thumbsup:
Hope this works!
