Maybe because many of us don't feel we have anything special to show. I know I don't think my park is anything special. If you use apple's Game Center, there are many people who have posted their GCIDs in their signature or the contests threads. You could always add friends so that you can visit their parks to get ideas.
I love my vine dragon avatar created by ElektronX. Now, if only BFS would add it to the game...

With the new update to get a snapshot of a full island, I thought that I might as well share my park of what I have so far. I still like to keep the ol' flag arts in my park, despite their large size.

I have 7 GC Dragonvale friends and it already bugs me that it's more than 6. I have the 6 I exchange gems with, and I don't want to have to sift through a long list to find them.
(I would share but don't know how to attach multiple large images in a reply. The native "reply" method seems to allow only a big thumbnail link to a single image. Is there an FAQ on this?)
What do your visitors do in a layout like this? The entrance portal is completely surrounded, so are visitors able to walk around the island somehow, or are they basically trapped?
You need to upload your pics to an image hosting site like photobucket. Then paste the "IMG" code into your post. No need to attach anything.
Thank you! That greek sounded vaguely familiar, so I checked and indeed I have a photo bucket account with screenshots I took in another game! (Anecdotal evidence that excessive DV play does not itself cure memory loss)
I'm testing one below before a full park tour

Welcome to Fischer Island, where dragons and villagers alike can enjoy a classic game and an omelette
Northeast of Fischer is Mount Olympus, where centurions, olympians and the one-eyed play games of an ancient kind
If modern, high-stakes gaming is more your speed, head southwest from Fischer to Treasure Island (of the Vegas strip variety, not the Robert Louis Stevenson). Named for its crowding, lack of subtlety and visibility from space.
But before hitting the strip, you may want to stop by Emerald island. You may not find a pot of gold, but you're sure to leave with a bit of Irish luck stuck to your shoes.
If Lady Luck smiles on you and you hit it big on Treasure Island, charter a hydroplane and head further southwest to Fantasy Island, a tropical haven of fertility and humidity. Mr Roarke (Water) and Tattoo (iceberg) will greet you at the dock!
But if you incur bad debts and other bads in Sin City instead, you may have to make an involuntary pitstop on Alcatraz, where the air is dry, dusty and tastes of metal.
(and learn your lessons well. Recidivists and the incorrigible may win a one way ticket to Tartarus, where the heat is definitely on.)
If cold weather and winter games are more your thing, head due south from Fischer to Tatooine, offering stellar moon gazing from the summit of Mount Hoth.
Finally, after a long day of island hopping and activities, enjoy dinner at one of the many orchard side restaurants in the Heartland. Nine courses of Sun-kissed, Seasonal produce, locally grown and tended by a cooperative of deceptively small but very experienced Plant dragons
Hope you enjoyed your visit. Please come back again soon!

Mwahaha... Its all about the money, not the experience. }
They usually are found clipping through a lot of the decorations and get into some tight spaces once in a while.

LOL!
Yeah, I'm too caught up in the "experience" for that. As I said in my park tour, hospitality is a priority on my islands. When I get further and desperate for space, I might change all that though.

Too many to count :-(
Out of curiosity, why don't more people share their parks here?
Giving and receiving ideas for island layout was the main reason I joined, but it doesn't seem like there is a lot of that happening.
Is there a better thread or forum for that?
Have you gone through the past pages? There are a lot in there. I used to do quite a few park tours where I'd visit other member's parks and put together a compilation of islands that stuck out to me. I obviously haven't done this in awhile because I had to take a medical hiatus. Perhaps I'll do some more when I get the time/desire to go poking around. Probably need to add some more friends for that since we have so many people who joined while I was away.
You should definitely go back and skim through though. You'll find the ones I did stories on in there.
Nice park. Glad you did the introductions with it, always makes it more interesting. I did full background stories with my islands back when I originally posted it.
