Caring's Atlantis Recommendation

Dream Wizard's Atlantis Aquarium, located at 588.6N 1000.0E 0.0a 86 is something you would expect to see in an underwater world... It is really a neat site to see.

Goober King's UTN Recommendation

Maze Area - AW 3208.8n 2037.1e

Imagine a town whose sole purpose was to stretch your brain and drive you insane. Now you have an inkling of what it's like in the town of Maze Area, a town centered around those most infuriating of puzzles, MAZES! From the entertainingly simple, to the maddeningly complex, Maze Area has just the maze to tease your grey matter. And, of course, residents are welcome to add their own creations to the insanity! So come try your hand at Maze Area, and leave the mice at home! ;)

Light Form's Yellow Recommendation

Yellow - 223N 3E

Lets face the facts. These days in Yellowstone, and even in the past, it has been hard to find a good complex, or simple build for that matter. With Yellowstone’s limited objects supply, and unusual object system, it’s no wonder. But some citizens have managed to get around, and even over that. Presenting the Active Worlds community with the best Yellow has to offer. And Puke, however odd the name, has done that. While his builds are neither big, flashy, or even 'new AW age' they are very, very expertly build for a Yellowstoneian, for lack of better word. Puke's Hotel is nothing short of impressive. From the entrance pavilion to the staircase, that hotel is nothing short of impressive. Next to the hotel is Pukes Tower. While standing on a base that you would see in a flood zone, the tower is a monumental and well-constructed object, at the top boasting a pleasant view. And last but not lease, Puke and KewlChicks house. What seems to be a simple track home you would find in any other Dallas suburb. Unfotunately, the Hotel and Tower were never completed. But we are sure you will like these builds still =) Enjoy.

Poseidon & Chanty
AWTeen's Web Site

AWTeen's Recommendation

This months hotspot is one of the worlds tallest mountains... the set for the “Great Adventure” - an event hosted by Jstone2004, which took place on Sunday, July 28th at 12pm VRT. The event itself went off spectacular, but what really lead to the success of the event was the awesome mountain that the entire event was built in.

The mountain begins at 2355.39S 2332.14W 0.00a 185 (AWTeen), and is roughly 80x80 coordinates squared, and 300 meters tall at its highest peak. The mountain took well over a week to make, and it really shows with all of the individual peaks, holes, and use of textures. While the mountain IS under Jstone2004’s name, most of the mountain was built by AWTeen citizen Syko.

Even though the “Great Adventure” has come to an end, Jstone2004 assures me that he will continue to use the mountain for various events, or maybe even a repeat of the “Great Adventure”. Hey... we could even use the area for a sledding event!

Regardless of the height, or the records it may have set, one thing is important, and that is the pride that the owners take in it. “it's a marvelous work of art :-)”, says Jstone2004 “it's definately the largest thing I've ever helped build”.

Take the time to wander around. Lots of cool stuff.
