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.
