BABV Zoo Preview -- Arriving in Bearville on May 28th!

As you all know, a Zoo is coming soon to Build-a-Bearville. We've seen references to it in the most recent Bearville Times and, thanks to a few of our members, AbbygailBearDiva59 and MeganJump4Joy, we have a preview of the Zoo and the official launch date -- May 28th -- one week from today!

If you look on the left hand side on the map of Sandy Bear Island, you can see the Zoo, though it is currently not accessible to visit. According to ChloeRocks' Bearmail this week, you will need to buy a new Furry Friend and register it on BABV between May 28th and July 1st in order to be able to access the zoo, so please keep this in mind if you can't access it when it opens!

 

Looks like its going to be a really fun place to visit, any guesses on what types of activities it'll have?

New Items Coming to Build A Bear Stores and Bearville!

The newest version of Beary Newsworthy magazine (available in Build A Bear stores) has lots of great information about upcoming events and new items in Bearville.  The first exciting thing is that new Limited Edition Zoorrific animals will be available on May 28th!  The collection includes a monkey, cheetah, panda, flamingo, tiger, parrot and giraffe.  It also notes there will be exclusive access to the Bearville zoo when you purchase one of the new animals from May 28th - June 30th.  Maybe that means everyone else will get access after that....we'll just have to wait and see!

 

Also, in store from May 28th through June 30th, everyone will have a chance to enter a contest to win a Zoorrific trip to Orlando.  The prize is a 5 day, 4 night stay in Orlando with tickets to theme parks AND all seven Zoorrific animals!  And from June 4-13, everyone who spends more than $20 in store will receive a free bag for your animal and a free animal print bag in Bearville!

Thanks to 99valentine for sharing this information with us!

Cool Effect When Mounting Enchanted Pony!

We know how excited everyone is about the new Enchanted Pony in Build-a-Bearville, so we thought we'd show you pictures from our forum from PrincessOctober103 of what happens when you mount the Pony. When you choose to ride the pony or get off of the pony, there are a series of flashes and sparkles all around you, as if you have become Enchanted yourself!

The Enchanted Pony and Enchanted Dragon will arrive at Build-a-Bear Workshop on April 5, 2010, so get ready to see tons of people riding around Bearville on Ponies and with Dragon Wings!

More Hints at Dragons and Enchanted / Magical Theme in Bearville!

Thanks to krissyangel from our forums for the following screenshot of the Bearville map! She noticed a shadow move across the map, which scared her at first... She brought up the map a few more times and took a good look at the giant shadow moving across the map -- it was a flying dragon!!

 

Thanks to her keen eyes and quick screenshot abilities, we can show you the giant shadow that she sees in her account. Check yours too! It looks like BABV is really ramping up our excitement for the new areas and Enchanted Furry Friends from Build-a-Bear!
