I personally would enjoy gold saucer more if GATEs were every 10 minutes

And actually come in pair so that if you don't enjoy jumping puzzle, you'll have something else to do and if you do enjoy them well you'll get one more gate to do.

I wouldnt mind if they came as a pair, but every 10 minutes would be a bit much

I would go with every 15 minutes, spawn them in pairs, and do it in such a way that it allows you to complete both - or complete 1 multiple times with a decreased reward - e.g., 2nd-time completion in that window awards 0.7x reward.

10 minutes is a nice proposal, but IMO the downfall with it is, that to compensate for this you need to shorten the registration timer on the jumping puzzles, and/or need to complete them in a swift manner, especially if the follow-up is "Any Way the Wind Blows or "Slice is Right" - Since you already have a very limited window to register for this one.

Oh that's a great idea. I fricking hate the jumping puzzle because of my south american fps

I think once every 15 minutes would be nice. Some of the gates give you 10 minutes to complete them, so chain running them with no down time in between wouldn't be great design, I think. On Serpah, the Golden Saucer has been much more social lately in between the 20 minute gates and I personally wouldn't want it to just become another place where we spam queue for leap of faith, slice is right, etc. with no down time in between. 15 is a good compromise.

The only GATE that you have to spend 10 minutes is Leap of Faith right? And you have to suck really bad to spend all your time there (like me, I never go Leap of Faith). I don't see the problem of people spam queuing the Gold Saucer (especially during events), it would make the place feel more alive. And also people will get bored of the minigames if they do it too much.

By the way I think every minigame needs an improvement. I'd like Leap of Faith to have checkpoints, Air Force One to be more difficult, The Slice Is Right to have a better participation prize, Any Way the Wind Blows to not lock you in place and be completelly random (I would very much enjoy a dodge fiesta), and Cliffhanger to have more stages because Cliffhanger is perfect.
