I think the odds of that are slim and none, but stranger things have happened. Would be nice though, wouldn't it?

When I get a new train, I will write down the visitors names and what he or she wants to visit.
Track it.
Once complete, ask someone to visit and tell me what this person is asking for from PT.
That should work.

The four visitors that wanted to visit three buildings are all asking to go to the last place i sent them.
The visitor that wanted to go to two buildings is asking to go to the first place i sent him.
More test are needed.

When/if you see a pattern emerge, I'll include it in the Guide, if you like.

I will know in the next three hours if my theory holds up.
I may not build the Spa at the next level. I think it will be a headache to manage and that the payout will not justify it. Once it is built, you are stuck with it right?
I have some questions for Chumps first I guess...

Round One:3. Alex wants D,C,G sent to G,C, D - finished to go D. 3. Anabelle wants G,D,B sent to G,D, B - finished to go B. 3. Anthony wants D,G,C sent to G,C, D - finished to go D. 3. James wants C,G,B sent to C,G, B - finished to go B. 2. John wants - CB sent to C,B - finished to go C. (Edited for brevity) Jon, please explain for my fuzzy brain. Are you saying that, once you have finished with your visitors in your town, the places in bold are where they wish to go when picked up by someone else? May I ask if this theory is helpful to us, or is it just to satisfy your curiosity? I'm not being snide; I just don't know how to put it to work for me. If I pick up your visitors, all I know is where they want to go and not where they've been. Only where they need to go is important to me since I have to have available slots for them. i may be missing something as I often do, so I just need clarification, please. Thanks.

LoL Ann! It is both to satisfy my curiosity, which by the way is the MOST important! and it could be helpful.
My theory is that visitors asking for three building will request the last building you send them to and that visitors asking for two buildings will request the first building you send them to.
How is this helpful? If the theory is true, I could manipulate the last building my visitors will go to, in the case of three building visitor OR the first place my two building visitors will go.
I will then be able to have a large portion of my 'waiting for train' visitors asking for the same building.
OR
I could have my visitor leave asking for, say the grocery. Which is a quick turn around for someone.
Typically, if you have LP's wanting to go to the B&B, they don't get picked up.
I have noticed a LOT of Chumps LP's are requesting the Spa. I doubt I will pick up LP's for Spa or B&B...
There may be other advantages if there is a pattern?

Okay, thanks, Jon. That requires more brain power than I have to figure all of that out for my visitors. Kudos to you for wanting to do it and for being able to do it. My compliments.

RANT! You have been forewarned!
Seriously, if I didn't have something like this to do with the game, I probably wouldn't be playing it. I have stopped playing many times the past few months. The farming has become monotonous. I end up selling a lot of things on my stand for two reasons. One filling truck orders takes too long. Seriously do I HAVE to wait for the animation of the truck leaving and coming back? Just let me fill the truck orders, bing, bang, boom, done! Two, so I fill truck orders..... I get coins and experience.... would I LIKE to be a higher level, yes but is there and incentive to be a higher level? No. Do I have enough coins? Yes, I can buy the new items when they come out... good enough. Boat orders typically ask for too much. The fishing area stinks! LOL, yes STINKS! and the with the gift cards. I only would like the Big Bike. It doesn't come up often. I am sitting on 40 cards waiting for it... until then I can't hold more cards?....
RANT OVER!

Round One:
3. Alex wants D,C,G sent to G,C,D - finished to go D. 3. Anabelle wants G,D,B sent to G,D,B - finished to go B. 3. Anthony wants D,G,C sent to G,C,D - finished to go D. 3. James wants C,G,B sent to C,G,B - finished to go B.
2. John wants - CB sent to C,B - finished to go C.
Round Two:
3. Ben wants G,D,C sent to G,C,D - finished to go G. 3. Malcolm wants G,C,D sent to G,D,C - finished to go G. 3. Michael wants D,C,G sent to G,D,C - finished to go D.
2. Neil wants C,B sent to C,B - finished to go D. * Did not even ask to go to the Diner.....! 2. Taylor wants D,C sent to C,D - finished to go D.
My conclusion is no rhyme or reason. Started out to look predictable but it was good to do a second test.

For now anyways I was thinking it might be better to upgrade the decrease maintenance time until everyone has more buildings and more building slots for there visitors. Seems that most people are sending away there bed and breakfast visitors which just leaves one or two visitors using other buildings on the platform. Unless you get lucky of coarse. So I would rather wait less time to pick up just one or two visitors. Each decrease maintenance upgrade takes a half hour off you time. Not sure how many times you can upgrade this yet ? Just thought I would mention it.

A member of the SC forum says that the time can be decreased from 6 hours down to 30-minute intervals. I do not know this for sure but have included it in the draft of the GUIDE:TOWN which will be finished really soon, I hope. If you find the answer, please let me know either in this thread or that one. As we level up, I can add additional information as it is discovered.

It's almost 3 weeks now that we have the new town. I like it! Yes, maps and some other TEM don't drop that much, but imo it wouldn't be fun if we would have done all possible upgrades and land expansion in 2 months or so. So I'm happy as is . Ofcourse, these town people eat like hungry dinosaurs. Unless you hire Tom a lot, you have to make more choices now than before, which orders (town, boat, truck) to fullfill and which ones to cast off. I like that aspect, too, although I had to take a psycological hurdle to get myself to cast off quite a lot of boats. Until now I hardly sent away any town visitor, but that may chance. I can't say I have any particular (new) strategy yet... My town can now have 27 visitors, my eggspress train brings 9 passengers and my pt can get 4 every 3 hours. What about you lot?

I seem to be the odd duck, as I do not really care for the town. It's just more people asking for items I do not have ready. So I'm still on the basic set up and have not upgraded anything. On the rare chance I do work on my village and get TEM - I pass it along to others working on theirs.
as usual - the odd duck.

I do like it but it gets on my nerves sometimes, all the waiting times and asking for rare items. Maybe I feel more positive about it when I got a bigger city hall and station.
Now at rep level 8 I got space for 15 people (level 3 city hall) Trainstation level 4, 6 visitors PT level 7, 3 passengers every 4 hours Restaurant 3 slots Grocery store 2 slots Cinema 3 slots B&B 4 slots
