@Wuis Ah, I see what you are saying. That makes total sense. My single-player does have a fast-forward button. It's a bit of a drag that my gal and I can't speed up the game when we play together, but whatever, still a ton of fun. Thanks for your reply!
As I said above just moments ago, when I click the picture of the ride I want to place it goes straight to edit mode. Weird!
Edit: I see you have edited your post, let me try that!
