Hi, I just registered and figured where better to show off my new island. It was cleared snd sparkly clean and I had a bit of time on my hands, so Happy Halloween everyone!
Hey Wendykins, and welcome to the forum!
Fantastic job! It must've taken a lot of time and effort to "carve-the-pumpkin".

That is really great! Bet that took quite a bit of time.
It went a lot faster when I figured out that I needed to "draw" from the bottom up. Moving the flags was a pain in the tush. I would have loved to do it in the paving stones, but they just didn't come in the right colors. I'm used to graphing out patterns, but I kind of did this on the fly--that's why he's just a wee bit crooked !
I added a bit of blood to his fang today in hopes that it made him look more like a vampire and less than a rabid gourd!
I rarranged my islands. This is my new egg island, just underneath the feet of Kairos ( I thought it might be better to store my dragons in a larger distance to him)
Sadly I will have to make it new when all the new light and dark dragons arrive

It would be a shame to dismantle this one, it is awesome! Maybe make a 2.0 egg island.
Thank you ! No, I don't want a second egg island - I just put them together again on one island. But what's possible is to put the light eggs in one inner corner round the statue for the first Birthday and the dark eggs in the other corner. There's room there for just 18 more eggs in each corner, if I remove the eternal flame even room for 19 eggs. And that's just what's needed. ;D

Gorgeous Egg display! I would love to nominate this island for the IOTM.

And I second the nomination. This is the most original and beautiful egg display I have ever seen.
I love my vine dragon avatar created by ElektronX. Now, if only BFS would add it to the game...

What to do with all those leftover bushes? I tried Roundup, but they seem to be immune. I think they must have come out of Monsanto's GM breeding laboratory. Anyways not having enough Woofas to pull them all up, I tried a different approach.

I'm pretty sure I found the correct path to the pot of gold. However, I can't be sure, b/c those annoying buttons are covering part of the maze. I like it. Great job.

Hello everyone. I am pretty new here, and the main reason I joined was to see other people’s DV parks, and share my own. I just finished browsing this thread, and I must say I am very impressed with the creativity presented. I don’t have any stories to tell about my park, but I do often visualize what it would be like to visit it.
Here are a few basic notes about my park:
- With the exception of the 6th island, I have given little thought to symmetry when viewed from above.
- My main concerns when designing an island are Dragon care and visitor hospitality. All dragon boosts are being used to full effect, and the pathways allow for easy navigation while still providing opportunities for exploration, and optimal dragon viewing.
- Each Dragon Shrine is displayed with it’s related habitats.
- For the most part, each island has a preferred type of housing for the permanent residents.
- Permanent residents consist of dragon keepers, farmers, and those in the tourist and hospitality trades.
- Each dragon boost building serves as a home for the Chief Dragon Keeper of the related habitats. These Chiefs are regarded as almost spiritual leaders in the community.
Now, on with the tour!
Breeding Island
This Island is the location of the Plant and Earth habitats, but the main draw for visitors is the Enchanted Breeding Cave, with it’s adjacent nursery, as well at the Epic Breeding Sanctuary which can be clearly viewed from the ideally located observation tower. This island also features the original Three Mills Farm and a comfortable restaurant, which specializes in its all-day breakfast menu. The residents of the island prefer a simple lifestyle, with one even living in the hollowed-out trunk of a huge tree.
Rainbow Island
Here you will find Air and Water habitats, 3 of each. But not to be missed is the large Rainbow habitat at the center of the island. Many find themselves transfixed by the Rainbow fountain, while others prefer to spend their time at the park across the street where the Rainbow Dragons can still be clearly viewed, even while taking a dip in the swimming hole. This island is often a final stop for those traveling longer distances, as it’s the only island with two Inns. On the way out, make sure to stop at the Fountain of Youth to try and catch a rare glimpse of one of the older Dragons being returned to the days of youth.
Fire Island
There are both Fire and Lightening habitats here, but the name Fire Island was ultimately chosen because of the large Sun habitat. Here you will see “Rage” the Sun Dragon, who is without question the biggest draw on the island, and is arguably the most famous dragon in the park. Make sure to allow time to admire the statue of Julian the Fair, the mysterious Umbral Sculptor, the Fire Dragon statue, and of course the expected fire and lightening dragon shrines.
Dragon Egg Island
This Island gets its name from the first sight you will see on arriving, as 6 rather imposing dragon egg statues surround the entrance portal. Here you will find the Metal habitats as well as the 8 huge farms that produce the majority of the park’s dragon treats. Other than Olympia Island, this is the island most often visited by the permanent residences of the park because of the two ever-changing Seasonal habitats, with “Seer” the breathtaking Seasonal dragon. Interestingly, several of the villas on the island are homes for dragon keepers who commute to Olympia Island.
Olympia Island
Visitors to the park are asked to dress in layers because of this island. On arriving, you will find yourself in among 4 Cold habitats and a Moon habitat, all of which require below freezing temperatures. The only permanent resident on this side of the island is the Chief Cold Dragon Keeper. His igloo can be seen near the stunning Cold Dragon Shrine. When you are ready for a more temperate climate, make your way to the boundary wall, which makes it possible for two dramatically different climates to exist on one island. Once past the wall you will find yourself in Olympia, where perpetual summer is enjoyed. Here there are two dragon habitats, but only one that is accessible by visitors. The fearsome but beautiful Kairos on his perch can be seen from any vantage point on the island, but no direct approach is possible. On the other hand the Olympus habitat is very welcoming, and is a popular place among the locals for relaxing before the games. At the highest point is found the Pantheon which allows for excellent viewing of Gemstone Island as well as the ominous Tines of the Scar. If possible, it’s recommended that visitors allow at least half of a day for events at the Dragon Track and the Colosseum, after which you can take advantage of the nearby food and lodging.
Treasure Island
This is the most eclectic island in the park, with 7 distinct habitats. Many unusual hybrids are on display here, some of which are the result of breeding previously thought to be impossible. The centerpiece of the island is the stunning Treasure habitat with its abundance of sparkling jewels and precious metals. And be sure to see the one-of-a-kind Dragonsai Tree at the northern-most point of the island.
Here are a couple bonus shots:
Gemstone Island, with Kairos in flight
Epic Breeding Sanctuary and Tines of the Scar
Can you guess what I'm breeding for?
These are the main features of my Dragon Park for the time being. Stay tuned for future updates and additional islands!

Beautiful islands! I think my favorite one is your Fire Island with its bright vivid colors.
