Ok so I used to play RCTC3 a while back and I installed it again recently and got the SOAKED! expansion pack.

I've installed all the patches fine and I'm having no problems running the game, however there's a very annoying gameplay glitch that only seems to appear late in the game.

I can make enough money to build what I want, but I get my park up to a certain size, lets say around 1400 peeps in the park, 20-30 rides, a big pool and a few big coasters... then everyone simply stops going on the rides

There's nothing I can do, I can demolish them and rebuild, only build rides with good excitement and medium intensity, build amazing coasters and charge $1 to go on them, it doesn't matter the queue lines are always empty and all my peeps want to do is walk around and around and around the paths.

A trickle of peeps do go on the rides, more than enough so that I make lots of money, and everyone seems to use the shops like crazy, I can get $1500 an hour from a burger shop and $1000 from a drinks stand but why oh why oh why don't they use the rides?

Something may be corrupted or scratched and some of the patches may have been for the Wild! expansion so that may be another reason the peeps don't go on rides. I would just buy a new game mabye.

um... ok but nothing is corrupted or scratched, the game is working perfectly, I just think I'm missing something fundemental in the gameplay.

Have I got enough ATMs? Toilets? what is a good amount of facilities for 1500 peeps in the park? Normally if they need more food or drink it says "Consider placing more food stands"... but I've never seen a message asking for ATMs or Medical stations, do you need to add lots of them?

Either they're walking around looking for something that the game isn't telling me about, or the AI goes crappy after about 1200 peeps...

I'm not sure then. But mabye you should put more ATMs because if you say they always ride the rides and stuff, then they might be out of cash. Mabye thats why. Usually the guests carry around $50.00.

Yeah. Add ATMs. The game won't tell you too, but you need to.
