Windmills, Part I

Why windmills, you may ask?
I don't know, I just think they're cool.
...
It seemed like a good idea at the time.

Hunt for There_Monitor 6/23/07

This hunt sure gave me a run for my money. I knew where she had to be, based on the clue, but finding her there was another story entirely.

From the journal of There_Monitor

I found myself on what, after some inspection, appeared to be the edge of a large body of land. Due east of me, the haze all but obscured a tall mountain.

Net, you are one sick and twisted human being.

Jon Quixote was (reluctantly) There!

Tropical Adventures

While it may not be the latest news to most of you, yesterday was the first time I set foot on the new island of Kiani. I can't tell you how many times I've bugged Chaz--jokingly, of course--about animating those rides he had set out in Caldera's desert. Well, he's outdone himself yet again, folks. He even added a few new rides, some of my personal favorites! And then there are those lively parrots at the entrance! Eye candy follows but, believe you me: these screenshots just don't do it justice. To really appreciate Chaz' handiwork, you just have to visit the island yourself! It's located just southeast of Nada.

The first thing to notice when you visit the island is that it is an ongoing project. This construction permit is conspicuously displayed at the entryway.

Be sure to read the fine print, and then it's off to the main attraction!

These little lively parrots welcome you to the park. They breathe, move about, and even dance! Oh, did you try talking to them?

The first ride you'll notice, towering over the horizon, is the ferris wheel. Go on, check it out!

What a view!

Then, go for a spin on one of my all-time favorite rides, the scrambler!

Hey, look! There's a newbie trying to be friendly while our brains are getting scrambled.

But, wait, what's that ride over there? Can it be?

A quick height check at the tiki guy and I'm ready for one of my favorite rides ever: the pirate ship!



The last ride on the island was some kind of spinning tilted cup thing and, to be honest, I don't think I'm old enough for this ride. The Tiki guy agreed and so I passed on this one for now.

Taking a look at the island in aerial view, you can see several other pockets in the sand which look like reserved parking for future rides.

One of the more intriguing of those spots is this giant sand box at one end of the island. Can anyone say: roller coaster? Water slide?

Sadly, all good things must come to an end. Sooner or later, you will have to leave this little paradise island. But fear not my friend, for this island will still be here tomorrow for your enjoyment! So, until then:
