This smells very dwarfy very fast... How do you keep them happy enough to stay and spend, while not letting them leave?
I think I actually heard of a way to make them stay and spend. Put them in an enclosed area with a drink stand with drinks costing $.10 or so and then put in a bathroom costing like $2 or $20 or something. Try that. Not sure if it works, but damned if it isn't cruel.
Just tried this tonight. So far, it hasn't worked, although they went for the free stuff, sure enough. Damned if it wasn't funny watching them clutch their genitalia desperately and wander around in my little cage, though.
On a side note, I think I finally figured out the trick to Wooden Roller Coasters. I swear, I was absolutely terrible with them, and even now, I'm still going to avoid them anyway. See, the Wooden Roller Coasters need to be long rides, but my roller coasters are usually less than a minute in length to keep the queue line moving and also to save expense and space. Because it needs to be such a long ride, I don't really consider it very worth it because of its cost and its necessity of space. Why waste an extra three to five grand when you could make a less expensive coaster which makes about the same amount of money, is also smaller, and by extension, can be saved as a design and reused?
I mean, I suppose creativity and variation comes into play somewhat. Otherwise, I'd just make a lot of Shuttle Loop knockoffs. They're compact, popular, and somewhat cheap.
