I am unbelievably excited for this game. I've been dreaming of another in-depth zoo sim ever since the last ZT2 expansion came out in 2007, and this looks like it's going to be everything I've been hoping for and more. So just for fun, and since we have a dedicated forum for this, I wanted to share my hopes and dreams for this game! Some of them are my favorite animals from the Zoo Tycoon series, and some are animals I've never seen in a zoo sim before. Also, I'm absolutely amazed by all the features that have been announced so far.

- The ability to name/rename our animals
- A game mode where we get random/predetermined challenges thrown at us every so often to give us goals to work toward
- An achievement system with fun in-game rewards, maybe buildings or scenery objects or even new animal species to unlock
- Zookeeper mode...please
- The mandatory extinct animals expansion pack somewhere along the line (Irish elk would be an amazing inclusion!!)
