Newb question, ride ageing?

[Myxtro]

I'm new to OpenRCT and I have a question about ride ageing. In the old games, rides that reach the age of 5+ years barely get any attention. So that's basicly a good amount of time in building the ride, being thrown away. Do rides in OpenRCT still age this fast or has this been improved?

It has been looked into, but I don't think the ride aging has tweaked. After 5 years the ride should still be popular enough to have at least half-full trains, but the curve keeps dropping until it reached 25 years, where it becomes a veteran ride, and rises in popularity again.

So after 25 years, it will be just as popular as a new ride? And does it stay that way? Or does the curve go up from that point and does it become more popular every year?

After 25 years it instantly jumps back to a 56% popularity rating, and stays that way.

That is unless you prevent ride aging with cheats or "make all rides new" cheat, correct?
