Is there only one existing copy of the park? If there is can multiple guests or groups of guests exist in the same park at the same time? There was one scene where a guy walked up and fanboyed at Harris about his foundation's work. If different groups of guests can be in the park at the same time wouldn't they always be interfering with each other storylines?
As far as we know, there's only one instance of each park. You're right, if excessive numbers of people we're arriving each day, they would almost certainly, and constantly, interfere with one another. However, I think you're forgetting that it costs upwards of $20,000 per day to partake in the luxuries of this park, and that it's reasonable to believe that experiences are dictated based on not only the number of people entering the park, but also by the profiled personalities of each guest or group of guests. A company like this would take EVERYTHING into consideration, otherwise the entire operation would be a colossal failure. Predetermined set scenarios for all guests with even ever so slightly customized interactions, would ensure an even spread of customers. but it would greatly increase the essential environment to create a *real* experience for each and every guest. Not only is this concept plausible for separating guests, but it would also be the most surefire way to influence a patron's decision in not only recommending, but returning for another go. This in-turn, is how you guarantee ongoing and future revenue streams, which explains the seemingly endless amount of money they're able to poor into new story-lines. Additionally, you must remember that Westworld is one of many parks. I don't believe they'd tell someone they couldn't visit their desired location, should they have the means to pay for their trip, but I'm sure they can find ways to accommodate people however it may be necessary, and sometimes, that may just be something as simple as having a "wait time" until your adventure can begin, allowing any previous visitors to pick their story-line, or for the people running the show, to have a good enough feel of that group's personalities, for them to effectively push their adventure into experiences that would possibly maximize their enjoyment.
HBO does many things wonderfully, but perhaps the best thing they do with their shows that can feel complex, is that the inner-workings are usually left up almost entirely to their viewer's imagination. That being said, I've found that the even the most complex of scenarios can be discovered with relative ease, and that's one of the things that makes this show so fantastic. Elaborating a little further on that, what I conceive as plausible/relevant, may be wildly implausible or even impossible to you, and you're likely to form your own consensus on how things truly work within this world. More likely than not, the true nature of every little detail will never be revealed, it would leave for too many plot-holes that would be picked apart by fanatical nerds (I know, you probably think I fit that description, but I really don't, I'm usually fine with plot-holes, as long as I'm entertained.).
I'm wayyyyyyyyyy too excited for this next season, and I'm wayyyyyyyyyy too drunk to be posting on Jsp lol. Got shit-faced during the Falcons game, it went stupid good... I'm still in shock about how that shit finished, and now I don't know what to do with myself lol.
