How do decorations influence the number of visitors?

Question

An in-game tip hints that I should buy more decorations to attract more visitors. I'd love to make it a decoration wonderland, but poppa's a little strapped on the old cash flow. So, before I go spend a bunch of money, how do decorations influence the number of visitors? Is there a coin to visitor ratio, are there any caps, etc.

Answer

Decorations definately improve visitors, but paths add tons of them at a low cost.

Vistitors really freaking like paths.

Before I filled that island with paths I had 99 visitors. Decorations will cost you way more and get you maybe a visitor or two per object. Buy decorations because you want, not because they add visitors.

Note that there are many other ways to get visitors, they're not just from decorations. Also don't put much stock in the specific suggestion the Vistiors button gives you, it appears to be random; you can get the "More Islands" tip when you have the maximum amount of islands for example.

Generally, don't even worry about visitors; the number does not impact your cash flow. You earn cash because of your dragon's earn rate even if you have 0 visitors; it's magic. As for a cap, I can say you can get at least 99 visitors at once from personal experience.

Visitors are a fun way to see "how well" your park is doing but they're a rough metric with no in-game benefit whatsoever.
