Hotfix 2 - Coming November 21st!
Hayo Park Managers!
Last week we were blown away with some of your wonderful creations and you continue to amaze us – see the video below! We also announced that we were working on an update for December. We want to give you an update on its progress and announce Hotfix 2 coming this week on Thursday Nov 21!
HOTFIX 2:
Guest Flume Use
Guests will be less likely to change their mind on their way to use a flume
The chance that guests will use flumes to enter a pool has been increased
The weighting of flume prestige within guest decision-making has been increased
The chance of guests riding the same flume multiple times has been increased
Guests will now find full pools less desirable
Guest Queuing Behaviour
Guests will now tolerate longer queues (within reason) and will use more of the available queue path
Queue times being reported by platforms with multiple slides attached will now display accurately
Note: These changes will only affect new guests as they arrive in your parks and will not affect existing guests.
