Ok the maths is not good: I've maxed out at 2500 tickets: first dragon expires in 5 days; 5000 +2500 leaves me 500 short to buy dragon, UNLESS there are more doubles before expiry... Now I'm going to recheck my leaky math... leaves me 530 short... so unless there is another doubles day, I have to buy tickets to get the first new dragon before it expires....

Def 💙 Check after a reboot Could be to do w your crashing; mine kept resetting to before I'd begun collecting DC, for the same reasons as your park, collecting slower = no crashing
I'm a bit tired with the back to back events... When I saw the teaser in loading screen, I was hoping for a mini BEB, not a new event already :/
I ditched another game that I played for 3 years because of the never ending events (and stress!). Hopefully DV won't be the next
BTW, I only got 5 chances on the dragon drop/wheel instead of 10. Is it the same for everyone else?
I got 5 tries as well, then a four-hour timer showed up. During the tutorial, I remember seeing something about being able to play more games every four hours, too. So, I’m assuming we’ll get more tries in four hours.
One thing to note, it's not every 4 hours from when you last played. It's every 4 hours, so the event started at 1pm EST, it reset at 5pm EST, and will again at 9pm EST. I just logged on for the first time and have 2:12 until the next reset.

Is my WiFi wonky, or does it take forever to load for others? Sigh... also, in my lower games, I don’t have elder dragons, and yet they’re in those games now. So you don’t have to have all the elders to get all the elders to visit your park. Also, the games seem to regenerate 4 hours from the start of the day, not 4 hours from when you last played.
They may not be elders in your lower level parks: if you tap on the boarder, nope, border, around your visitor icon it'll say there are elemental banner bearers, when that border disappears if there is still a flag holder, it'll say elder banner bearers...
altho this time I didn't notice the elemental flag wavers wearing spiffy clothes like last time...may have been obscured by flying tickets tho 😆

So the new dragon names follow the title of the theme of the week. And these titles are the same ones used at the previous Faire. Like Fireflight Dragon and presuming Frozen Floe Dragon
The title for the Lighting/Dark theme was Spark in the Dark. So will the dragon be named Spark in the Dark Dragon?
It's a good theory, but the dragon is Fireflight and week theme is Firelight without the second f. I can't remember what tier names were last time to see if that's a typo, but I'm going to hope that it continues as we might get a Frozenffloe dragon.
Unnecessary public service PSA: Hatch ye Dragons, all, for the breed/hatch/sell currency rewards work like the last couple of events in that hatching gives an order of magnitude more than selling. You can cap easy enough from everything else if you don't, buuuuuuuuut if you do hatch you can cap in 1 park visit. Maybe you can anyway? I couldn't. *shrug emoji*

This event the games can only be played 5 times: less than previously. But they recharge every 4 hours, so you only need to log in twice 4 hours apart to equalise the play total. If you have terrible insomnia you could do 30 free plays a day.
I am REALLY bad at Dragon Drop. I think I've successfully hit a chest in that game once, and I only get the gems every few days. Not a great record, but my aim is notoriously bad and I do better at this than I do at say, Overwatch. I do wonder if I'm above or below the expectation value for just dropping it randomly though. Does anyone have any hints?

Have checked wikia, the other two were Boulderlight and Goldenleaf. Seems possible dragon names. But certainly not Spark in the Dark. Haha

Yes , hints (but v hard to language these); oblique approaches a bit like snooker, releasing after the release arm is past what you are after; use hard to redirect and soft to absorb ; counter intuitive thers a great one where you release on the super oblique for reverse movement before returning to the goal, my fave move the only ones that are straightforward are the straight down 'is your hand eye coord good enough' releases 😆: those I usually flub lol I love it even more now that the balls are even more bouncy; usually get what I'm aiming at 😏

Sorry, no help from me - I’m awful at it too. But I’m wondering.. Am I the only person who tilts their device to try to get the stupid little way-too-bouncy ball to go where I want it??

I agree with Kiwichris, but I also would add a bit of "don't try too hard - just breath and let go when you feel it." I miss and with odds being what they are I miss many times in a row. But I am better at this than any other mini game. There is something very satisfying about it, I guess I just enjoy playing whether it's win, loose, or draw Best I got for you Arkynos.

Ok the maths is not good: I've maxed out at 2500 tickets: first dragon expires in 5 days; 5000 +2500 leaves me 500 short to buy dragon, UNLESS there are more doubles before expiry... Now I'm going to recheck my leaky math... leaves me 530 short... so unless there is another doubles day, I have to buy tickets to get the first new dragon before it expires....
This is exactly what I thought when I saw the timer this morning! It seems strange to do this again after the outcry and subsequent compensation last time with Rosebud. Does it mean we will get another doubles day?
Just double checking the maths (it’s only 7am here!) 2500+5000=7500 firelight is 8530 so we’ll be 1030 short which is even worse! 2 double days??

ArrghhAnd, you're right amy , my leaky math is notorious: yes 1030 short 😱😱😱
and a q: in the arena, what element does the symbol which is NOT the same as the usual Sun symbol, stand for?
I selected a Sun dragon for it cos I couldn't match it to a/t else, but it was wrong, ie no tickets for my partner despite both draggies being L20 and the other draggy covering the other 2 elements...

I may be in the minority but I was ecstatic to see the event yesterday. I am caught up in the rift with what is available and am missing only a couple of dragons and pedestals so I like the extra stuff to do. 🐉💕

With one double day you can reach 8000, meaning we are 30 tickets short to buy the dragon. My assuption: they go from the point of view that a great number of players will buy the small ticket package at 1$ . That s not much but if 2 or 3 hundred thousand players spend that money that makes them a nice bunch of cash.and players get a 150 tickets enabling them to pay the difference amount of 30
We got given tickets to start with. Did they count in the daily limit. Will we get more each day given to us for logging on? Maybe that will make up the shortfall

We got a 500 ticket bonus today (which does not count against the daily limit) Today we have a double-day, so the limit is 2000 We therefore should be able to get 2500 tickets today
Normal days will allow us to collect up to 1000
Without a Calendar of treats, it is unlikely that we will get bonus tickets, and our only hope is for some more double-days.

Except buying that 1 dollar package will remove your free visions, costing you hundreds of potential gems. Forcing us to buy something and punishing us for buying it is terrible all around. I'm going to hope we get a doubles day two more times and that they learned their lesson off the rosebud dragon.
