Land History: Coral Canyons

Coral Canyons is a very popular land today. It's second place players logging on are sent if Jamaa Township is full. It contains Epic Wonders, the rarest store after the Diamond Shop. And it's the center for flying animals with it's store Royal Ridge. But while many believe it's always been around, it hasn't. It was released right after beta testing ended.

The bridge going form Sarepia Forest to Coral Canyons was blocked by a stack of boxes, and as a gift to all jammers, the new land was released.

 

When it was released, it the only room was the Art Studio. There was nothing behind the waterfall.

 

It did have one store, though. It was at the stand where the Den Depot is today. It was called Coral Corner.

 

This shop sold a lot of items that are considered beta today.

 

 

A little before it's deletion in July 2011, a sale sign appeared in front of the store, and all items went on clearance (see above images).

The stand was left empty for a while, then the Den Depot replaced it.

 



 

After a while, construction began behind the waterfall. A wooden gate appeared.

 

When it opened, it looked just like the epic wonders you know today, though not as many items. This was AJ began to become more commercialized.

 

 

For years, nothing happened there. Except new games being added, it stayed the same. Then eagles were released.

 

 

Within weeks, a new store was released above the Den Depot that could only be accessed by flying animals. It's known as Royal Ridge.

There was a temporary glitch that allowed jammers to get to Royal Ridge without an eagle, but it was soon fixed.
  And now you see the wonderful land today.
