You know, you really should change you banner LadyZ - you are so much more than just the Queen of the Checkerboard Path! Your zoo is fabulous! If I had ever been that good at designing zoos I may not have started playing ZT2! lol...

Dear Lady Z,
I am new to playing ZTCC, and I must say that your zoos are an inspiration to me.  I truly love everything that you have done with your different zoos.  Keep up the remarkable and fantastic job that you have been doing.  I truly appreciate your posting the pics of your zoos.  I hope that you don't mind if I use some of your ideas for my zoos, though mine could never compare to the amazing job that you have done.

Thank you very much one and all for your kind compliments and encouragement. bcassidy, yuo may use whatever you find useful to you, as can anyone else. That's why I post them, and look at other zoo builders too-it's the best way to learn new things from each other. It's another reason why we call ourselves a "Zoo Community"!  :grouphug:

I've just finish a new small map at the request of Yellowrose. I'm not sure when she's going to be putting it up for download because of all the work going on right now getting the d/ls' moved over from the old site. I'm also working on a new medium map too. I'll let you know if they work well once I've tested them. Until then...  :construct: Keep Building!  :wub: :queen:

Haha, bcassidy, I must admit I have been known to draw inspiration from LZKNY, especially in the area of checkerboard paths.... :whistling:

And if you want an inspiration, who better?  :worthy:  :queen:

I too have taken a lot of LadyZ's ideas and used them in my zoos over the years.....now if we could just get that web crawler Spiderghost back here again we could really have one heck of a Show and Tell.

Spideghost

Just to name a few of the most excellent zoo builders Zoo Admin is fortunate enough to have as members.

Wow  :yr1:, that's a great compliment--you've included me in a list of people whom I've always considered to be Master Zoo Builders! Thank you so very much  :worthy: However, that list isn't complete without Zoohio, Firehawke, and yourself.

As previously promised, here are some pics of the new small map I made and the test zoo on it. I'm trying to build it with animals that I know my grandson Little C likes, so this is for him. I have always loved the rain forest theme and colors that the game came with, so with that in mind....

Welcome to the Little Rain Forest Falls Zoo. The first 2 pics are of the entrance...

The first exhibit was for the Asian Elephants.

The Zoo Admin Bookstore and Rain Forest Restaurant were placed at the corner and across from the elephants.

Next to the Peafowl I put in an exhibit for the Clouded Leopards. He just loves cats!  :cat2:

On the other side of the entrance more big cats were put in. These are the Bengal Tigers, who have just had babies.

The Rain Forest Cafe and the Rain Forest house are the additions across from the Bengal Tiger exhibit. Around the corner are one of my favorite animals, the Bongos.

The last 2 pics are, of course, the overviews of the zoo so far. It's only been open for 4 game months, and already the guest happiness is up to 86--and there is still a lot more building to be done!  :construct:

Thanks Mo...the paths are test items that I'm using for the creator so they can be uploaded later.

Well, my little rain forest zoo for my grandson is complete. I'm gonna be really lazy tonight and not post individual links to each pic. Instead, this link is to my ZooPics07 album on Photobucket. You will need to start with page 2 first, though, because Photobucket always put them up in reverse order...  :angry: I hope you will enjoy Little C's Rain Forest Zoo.  :wub:

Keep up the great work!

Thank you so much FH for your kind words...and for reminding me that I hadn't posted my numbers for this zoo like I usually do. Okay, here goes...

Zoo is in Dec Yr 3
ZR = 94, 16 attractions, 100 benefactors
GH = 92, 989 guests, $30 admission fee
AH = 98, 17 exhibits, 64 animals

The GH became an issue with hungry/thirsty guests, probably because I made the food court with the carousel too close to the entrance. I'm going to try to duplicate that again, only this time I'm going to make it more towards the rear of the zoo, to see if that helps to keep the GH higher. That food court surrounding the Carousel is the best one I've ever made, and for those of you who have known me for a while, know that I  :angry: food courts!  :neneh
