How do Construction Rights work ?

[ExCrafty]

Gday,

I understand what they are, and what they do, but when I try using them over a path to the park entrance it stops people being able to get to the entrance. 

I hope I'm making myself clear.

Thanks in advance.

That's strange. Does it work if you make the land above the path owned? I wonder if this is a bug.

Yea, I tried that too. People only go as far as the rights then turn around. I'd never really used construction rights much before, and I'm trying many different things these days.

Ok, been giving this several different approaches. My conclusion based on trial and error, and experimentation is that if the path from map edge to park entrance is below ground then you can't have construction rights for above or below that path, as this will cause guests to turn around and go back the way they came because the path is "blocked" to them. If the path is at ground level, there's no problem.

If this is a bug, could it be added to what is probably a long list (not a criticism). If it's just part of the core game, then so be it. 

Annoying, but not something I'm really concerned with. There are ways to do a work around.

I also found out that if you have the path leading to the park entrance at least 2 units (10 ft/3 m) above land where there is construction rights, it also suffers from the same issue. So, you can't use construction rights on underground or highly elevated path leading to the park entrance.

As far as I know, construction rights means land ownership except for the surface. Since the path to the entrance of the park may not be owned, the path over construction rights must be at ground level (or one unit up).

No good work around for wanting a bridge that guests enter by and wanting to buy construction rights for under the bridge 😢
In this case I'd think a fix could be if you start out not owning construction rights, but can buy it, any prebuilt things remain off limits. Though I suspect there may be an issue connecting to the path?...

My experience is pretty much that too.

They allow you to go over but never under, which is a little annoying, but that's just how the game is. <shrug>
