Upcoming Changes at Elephant Lands
Below, I have formulated an informational guide of what is coming to Elephant Lands in the future! We have so many excited plans for the game and we cannot wait to bring them towards you.
A message from our team:
For about a year now, we have been discussing a new game. Originally, we were going to make a sequel which would’ve been called “Elephant Lands Safari Park”. This would’ve essentially consist of a desert grass like biome, hence the name. However, in recent discussion we have decided to proceed with a more forest-like biome that really engages in natural scenery. As said previously above, the information below will consist of everything you should expect with this new game.
These are the following things coming to the new game:
Zoo trains
One of the most exciting new additions is 2 new zoo trains! Our train route will go through our new forest and lead to our rose garden station where visitors can get off the train and go look at all of our beautiful roses & wildflowers. Visitors will then have the choice to get back on the train with a valid ticket showing proof of purchase in order to go back into Elephant Lands. This route will be a summer exclusive only. Our winter route will be shortened, going through a trestle loop near North Meadow, and then making it’s way back to the zoo station.
More keeper/guest interaction
Our whole goal at Elephant Lands is to provide the best possible care we can for our current herd! By doing so, we need the resources that will help allow us to provide top care for them. We are receiving new treatment models that will give us more realism in our roleplays.
Some of these include, but are not limited to:
Wheel Barrow
Rakes
Shovels
Brooms
Buckets
New produce
New commissary
Hoses
Cleaning supplies
New enrichment & toy items
Overall game design
Our new expansive entrance will allow for an all new gift-shop that will have UGC items and merchandise for visitors to purchase. In addition, there will be a membership area where you can buy an exclusive Elephant Lands membership that will include many perks that will be discussed at a later date. There will also be a restaurant with a party banquet room downstairs.
In addition, an all-new education center that will include 4 classrooms, a conference auditorium, a coffee shop, and a general public museum-esque education area. This will allow schools to participate in activities during field trips that will help engage the public on crucial aspects of elephant wellbeing, as well as the issues going on in their natural habitat in the real life world. Outside of the classrooms, there will be a conjoined deck area that will overlook our “Encounter Habitat”.
There are many other gameplay aspects that are coming to Elephant Lands. However, we don’t want to spoil everything until everything is released!
Restaurants/food carts
All year around, our entrance Restaurant will be open. We will also provide stationary food carts around the park. As of now, our two food carts will be Elephant Lands branded. This will include “Elephant Ears”, don’t worry; it’s not what you think! This is a type of brown sugared fried dough that is often sold at fairs and amusement parks, they are in the shape of an elephants ear. Our other food cart will be ice cream (no name as of now) which will only operate during the summer months. During Zoolights, our beloved annual Christmas event, we will partner up with Cafes and Restaurant groups on the platform and they will have stationary food trucks throughout the zoo.
& more!
We cannot wait to see what’s next, and we are so glad you are apart of this journey with us! More information will be released along the way. If you have any further questions, our keeper team would be more than delighted to answer them!
