I'm glad you guys enjoyed it. There were definitely a lot more I would have liked to have shown but I knew the length would probably be an issue. I never thought I'd come to this forum and find a writing side to myself but you guys offered so much encouragement from my original posting of my islands. I figured so many intelligent Aussies (and maybe some Americans too ) couldn't be wrong. Not to get too much off topic or play the mushy card but its been nice finding a new side of me to try to fill the void left from all the sides that no longer exist

Thanks for the tour of all those islands Cobus. Some I hadn't seen before and it's always nice to get ideas.
Especially when you r me cant be inspired!!! LOL
What I may try to do, if no one has an issue with it, is occasionally add more here as I get time. I always like seeing other people's ideas and getting a glimpse into their head. Obviously there are a lot that I don't have on my friends list. Perhaps some other members will decide to do something similar with other parks. It never hurts to have more ideas to steal, I mean appreciate.

Thanks. I'm glad you liked it. I wasn't sure if it'd cause an issue over me clogging up the thread with pics which is why I tried to limit them and left quite a bit out

The purpose of this thread is to display dv pictures. It would certainly be a shame if you clogged it up with dv pictures.

Yeah I guess you're right . Oh well, it was just a thought anyhow. I'll put it to rest so I don't clog the thread like you said

I think I swung and missed on a couple of jokes I hid in there
I got the cowbell reference.
Thanks for that. Is always good to be taken on a journey somewhere with a good tour guide.
Haha. Well I'm glad someone did. It's just a shame it wasn't someone of merit (too soon?) LoL. The other little bit was on the parks evolving. Threw that in for all you folks from the land down under. Guess I won't be co-hosting Key and Peel anytime soon ;-)
I definitely wouldn't label myself good by any measure but its an honest effort. I was up until 0330 finishing it up. Took SO long loading each visit. It was halfway thru I realized I probably should get some pics instead of just a written narrative so I had to go back and hunt the ones I wanted. To top it all off I had to remember my original thoughts when I was compiling it
My hope, as I mentioned earlier, is for more people to do something like this. Not only do we get to see parks we may not otherwise see, but we get to see what others think about them. What is it that draws your attention? What's the small details that bring it home for you? Different perspectives are always interesting
The last (but not least) park I visited was Cyber's. Once again here is a park with a well thought out layout. Each island deserves its own recognition but I narrowed down a few items of focus.
I would acknowledge that Cyber does have some better setups on other islands but I chose this one for a simple reason. I thought it was creative how he lined the separate treasure habitats with gold and marble pathways to symbolize the Gold and Silver dragons respectfully. I felt this was a prime example how a small detail can really bring home a vision.
In addition to the small details, there is always room for the grand, in-your-face displays of awesomeness.
I really like how Cyber chose to setup his egg display here. It's obviously well thought out and laid out in a nice grid. You can tell he has a plan for each egg and has elemental flags in place for the ones he is waiting to obtain. Nice job. Cyber also had all of his dragons in baby form which is the first time I've seen and thought was nice.
Hi, Cobus! Thank you for featuring my islands on your Park Tour! I feel honored just by reading your very detailed descriptions. I probably couldn't have done it better.
That egg island, which I'm thinking of naming "El Santuario de Huevo", is driving me nuts! But only because I won't be able to complete it till 2016 because of the Leap Year Dragon! Talk about OCD!
And you noticed my park is filled with Turbo Babies (save for the Gemstone Dragons)! Well, that's because I'm in the process of leveling up all my babies to 15; all their fully grown counterparts are already level 15 and are safely hibernating for now. I hope to accomplish this first before I start with my Shrine Grind. I'm blaming it on OCD again! Haha!
Thanks again sharing my islands to the viewing public! I appreciate it! Koala to us all! ;D

Thank you cyber for building a park that I got to enjoy visiting. I'm glad you approve of my comments. I don't know the stories behind your islands or what the thought process was when creating them but I tried to do the best with just my visual perception. If you get time, please share a tour of your entire park with us. I'd like to hear your stories and get an insight into your creative process.
I understand the OCD. I have until 2017 to get the blue moon I missed out on bc I was hospitalized. I also missed the Paper and am just praying we get another shot at it next year before the diamond - like they've been doing this year with the bone and reindeer

Well, the demolition has begun on my Drakon Park. I decided to better organize my eggs by element rather than pattern like I've seen many others have. My egg display was an after thought since the update that added them came after I had the island setup and I just crammed them in. I'm not sure if its going to work since the setup is 8x8 and my box is only 7x7. I figured worst case I'll just put it back the way it is bc I don't want to put a random earth hab on another island to make Drakon look better. Of course tonight is college football conference championship games so may take a few days. Wish me luck!

Yay! My islands got a shout out! Cobus, so glad you liked them. I really tried to have a different theme for each island so I appreciate that you caught that. I have definitely spent an abnormal amount of time decorating them, that's for sure.
I will admit, I do hope we get another island soon so I can do something fun... Maybe leave it for a theme island that will change with the most recent dragon that is released.
Also cyber, your plan is to have 1 adult and 1 baby of each dragon? Do you ever think there will be enough spots to display them all?
Yep, that's the plan. It's because I have the nagging urge to have two of each kind, so I could easily breed more if there was a need (same parents = 100% same baby). And since I would have two, better baby-fy the other one.
And yes, I realize there won't be enough room to display them all at one time. Backflip would only give is more habitats and/or islands if they're releasing more dragons (which I'm always looking forward to), so yeah, won't be enough place to display two of each kind. But I'm content on having them in the Hibernation Cave, ready to be summoned anytime I want. ;D

You earned it Rach. I definitely made sure to point out that your other islands had a lot of thought and time in them. I could tell you've spent many late nights trying different ideas until you were finally satisfied, not done, just satisfied for now
I never thought people would get excited to get a mention from little ol me. I'm happy y'all approve what I had to say.
As I said earlier, I plan to do another episode. If there's anyone who wants an opportunity to be included, send me a friend request. I don't have an opportunity to see your work if you're not on my friends list. You'll find my GCID below.

Your tour gave me a few ideas and I revamped my shrine island. I don't think I'll ever stop redecorating and switching things around. Lol! It's fun. But just wanted to say thanks for the ideas which gave me the inspiration for changing one of my islands.
