Bengal!!! Hiya Hun!!! Thank you so much, I appreciate that more than you know!!

Okay, today's hour long build was to create Grizzley Terrace, home to my two new Grizzley Bears. Hope you like!  (Note: the checkerboard paths are now back-LOL)

This section isn't finished yet, I still have the landscaping to do.

Wow!  You just have a natural talent!  If I'd taken a 9 month break, it would have been back to square one! :rolleyes:  Everything is perfect!  The landscaping inside and outside of the exhibits!  I'm just going to have to take a page out of your book!!!  Keep up the great work Master Zoo Builder!!!!

Ya'll just Too Nice!

FH & WBFD--many thanks for your sweet words of encouragement and support. As for not playing, well I'm just taking my time and not putting a real theme on this one. However, I chose this map to see what it might do to the guest happiness and the benefactor numbers. So far, this zoo has only been open for 1 yr, I have almost 300 guests, GH is 91, AH is 99, zoo rating is 86, and I have 26 benefactors. Not too bad for a test run-I must say I am very pleased so far. :happy:

FH--I don't think you'd be able to read my writing, but if you want my building book, help yourself to any part of it. You've already mastered my checkerboard paths, way beyond anything I've ever done in your newest zoos. Time for the "youngin'" to teach the Old Lady a thing or three...:laughing: .

YR, you have to stop spoiling me like this! Thank you so much for the links-when I get some computer time tonight after work I will DEFINATELY be going shopping...thehehehe :innocent:  TY Girlfriend!!!

And thank you to one and all for being so gracious and welcoming...it's nice to be "home" again. :wub:

A few pics from some quick building I did last night and this evening. You'll remember that I needed to finish up some landscaping leading to Grizzley Terrace. Well here is some of it.

I very quickly added the Animal Theatre and a brightly colored restaurant below the terrace. Again the landscaping needs to be fine tuned. I tried to build a patio effect with the restaurant but I know I can do better. :huh:

Tonight I made some additions to the Savannah side. Here are my Flamingos, and no sooner did they arrive, so did babies! :blink:

I turned the foliage off for this pic so you can see the corner viewing area I built. It's also the path to get to the other side of Insect House--pretty sneeky, huh? :rolleyes:

Across from the Flamingos and next to my Zebra (who are now breeding like rabbits!) are the Gazelles. There is a Baskin Robbins next to their exhibit.

Just a quick question. Are you having any financial sucess with the Baskin Robbins? As many times as I put one in my zoos, it was always a bust, financially.

I seem to have pretty good luck with BR, but that's because I always put it in the midst of several exhibits. That's one of the secrets I learned-put your restaurants facing exhibits so the guests will see the animals as soon as they come out. Hope this will help you in the future! :wub:

You probably don't know me, as I don't think you were here when I joined, but before I joined I watched your zoos for a while as a guest and you are amazing at zoobuilding. Keep it up! :specool:

Yes, Tigeress, I do remember you. You joined while I was a Moderator here last year, just before I left. I sent you a Welcoming PM and you wrote back to me. Thank you for your encouraging compliments! :wub:

SPEEDY!!! :wub:  Hiya Hunny!! It''s nice to be back, thank you.

My paths are there, but I'm not using contrasting paths this time. I'm using the Asian tile and the cobblestone, so they sort of blend in together. Next zoo I'll get wild and crazy for ya, okay? : :) :
