I for one love it. Even though I dislike multiple site currencies, I don't mind carnival points since they aren't actual items; no need to keep up with them/turn them in/whatever. I love that I get to pick my prizes since there are several items I need for my smiley face gallery. I'm also actually playing the carnival games now too. Besides the new prizes, there are lots of old ones I didn't even know about, so I'll be picking Mallarchies for a while :D

...

and then there's

THE BALLOON SECTION. omg, almost like having my beloved Balloon Hut back again ♥ My only suggestion would be to add more balloons to it - not new ones necessarily (although I certainly wouldn't complain about more balloons!) but some of the old balloons that weren't distributed by the carnival. That would help out people going for the balloon achievement, and staff could always price them higher if they wanted to keep them sort of rare.

P.S. I also love the new carnival map. Especially the Balloon Hunt tent. Even though unspeakable cruelty goes on inside.

I really like the shop setup! And I'd also love to see some older event balloons added there, such as the Keiths 18th Birthday balloons or the 100k Celebration balloons!

YAY! happy balloon dance

I kind of like that the prizes aren't up to chance any more. There are a couple of rare prizes I've been eyeballing for a while now, but just haven't been lucky to get. I've never been a fan of random chance.

My favorite thing about the update is actually the new art for the Carnival itself! It's so much fun seeing all the tents and games all in a big panoramic vista instead of just the shop icon type format. :3

I am SO glad I can finally pick my prizes, I was tired of getting the same damn tacky rings and bracelets every time x) I seriously don't see how anyone could possibly be upset with choosing what item they want over getting randomized prizes. Random prizes create issues for collectors for sure

This is actually great. And I love that all of the balloons are the same price. It's going to make getting that achievement a little easier.

And it's also going to make getting my stupid octo buddy a lot easier

My only thing is....Where's 3-card Monte? I loved that game!

I love the new Carnival shop. Now I don't have to dread adding to the hoard of cling monkeys or inflatable dolphins every time I pick up mallarchies.

I love love love the new carnival map! And I don't understand why people are whining about another new site currency tbh, it doesn't bother me at all. I'd much rather choose my own prize than save up to buy the things I want with sP if/when they deflate a bit.

It was discontinued for some reason.

Yeah I kinda figured. I didn't mean it as a literal question lol. Hope it comes back somehow, that was a fun lil game

I love this change! The carnival is worth playing now lmao I can finally get that damn Kitty Fruit Keychain I've been wanting for Momoe's treasure.

Also this minion is one the cutest things ever

Oh lol. Idk why it had to be discontinued though, just a choice they made I guess. I doubt it will come back. It mighta been the map was drawn but there was no building for it so they scrapped it or something... Well hopefully it gets replaced by something good? :/

If the new map is already up I doubt they're gunna add anything new to replace it

Maybe not in the carnival but who knows what next month's theme is?

Guess we'll find out soon enough

Count me in as loving this change. Now I can actually get good prizes!

I love this change.

I like the change because I can get what I want now from the shop. I don't like having so many currencies but whatever ha.

Also, can balloon hunt get a small change? after you play can it be like the other games and tell you that you've already played and to wait 12 minutes or whatever? Because the way it is now, you play and it takes you back to the start page with all the balloons and says nothing about having played recently. I have a short memory when I'm in zombie mode and going through the motions and end up clicking on a balloon again a minute later when I'm actually unable to play.
