I thought I heard there was a sim or a build about Oz or the Emerald City. But my searches aren't finding it. Does anyone know what is is called or where it is?

Thanks.

There is a place called Oz Slingo that says they are themed after the Emerald City. I've never been there but you can check it out on the Hydrathan sim.

A Little over 2.5 years ago, there was a multi Sim build recreating Cansas, the Tornado (Forming a TP point) and the trip through Oz to the Emerald city where one could get Free munchkin Avatars, and as a special Gift, a Ruby Slippers pendant. I still have mine, and Take them out for a look once in a while. It's long gone now, the Sim owners only did it as a temporary attraction, but it was marvelous.

there was a nice, one-sim build of Oz as part of the Relay For Life in 2007. Long gone, I'm afraid.

did they do the kansas part in B&W textures (like the original movie)? that would have been very cool!

Not only are we not in Kansas any more, we aren't even in Oz anymore. It's a casino. They start greeting you and trying to get you to gamble in "shout" the moment you walk it. It is surreal.

Ugh. That's awful. I think I'd rather deal with the Wicked Witch.

Wow. I wish I could have seen that! It's my favorite movie and I have a collection of Wizard of Oz stuff. It must have been awesome. I hope someone does something like this again. If they do, I am there!

Um, what I am looking for? Lots of stuff comes up under a "punk rock" search. Which one, if any, has anything to do with Oz or the Emerald City?

One, "if any" is based around the Emerald City smarty pants, but looks like they screwed up thier keywords: punk/indie/metal/alternative/rock/ska/live djs/music/shop/dance/Pushbutton Industries/RedButtafly/Beckenbauer/Tooter/illuminare/gogo/Roxborough/spirit of the Love Buzz/Roxy

After the old owner left SL, his ex made the Emerald City out of Lonsdale, the old punk rock city in SL. It was based around the Wizard Of Oz, but I dunno how much still is. Anyway it's at:

BigStar 59/174/22

It's the FIRST place that comes up in a "Places" search for Emerald City BTW.

Hmmm. When I searched, I got the other two (Oz Slingo in Emerald City, and the Emerald City Nightclub and Mall), but not the first choice, Emerald City - click your heels, which I do see today, BTW. Must have been an SL hiccup last night, because I sure didn't see that one. I'll go check it out. Thanks so much for letting me know about it!!!!

There is an Oz Sim so I TP'd to it to check it out. Didn't look much like Oz or the Emerald city to me except for a very short yellow brick road.

There's also an Emerald Oz sim, but I haven't checked that one out.
