Tycoon template
One plot, one attraction, one guest who can leave unhappy. RollerCoaster Tycoon (Chris Sawyer, 1999) is the queue you caused. Planet Coaster (Frontier Developments, 2016) is the same queue with a prettier coaster. Theme Hospital (Bullfrog Productions, 1997) shows the shape survives without a ride. Guests who cannot be disappointed give you nothing to change. The AI tycoon game maker is this plot.

What makes a tycoon
Tycoon: building a money-making attraction or empire.
The games that set the standard are RollerCoaster Tycoon (Chris Sawyer, 1999), Planet Coaster (Frontier Developments, 2016) and Theme Hospital (Bullfrog Productions, 1997).
What the template starts with
The tycoon template starts with one plot, one attraction and one visitor. That is the smallest version of the loop that defines the genre: build, attract, earn, expand.
What to change first
Build the attraction badly and watch guests refuse it. Fix one thing, price or queue or excitement, and watch them accept it. If they accepted both, the opinion is fake.
2D or 3D
The tycoon template starts in 2D.
