Said score being a number of guests and approval rating, both of
which are dependent on... people using the park.

Whether you can SEE them isn't the important part. The people DO get
in the way when they're on the screen, since there are just far too
many of them milling about to do anything effectively in an
isometric engine that only rotates in 90 degree intervals (which is
a HUGE mistake, IMHO). But if they weren't there at all, there would
be no reason to play.
