I think it's just a Splash Mountain statue and not the actual attraction.

It is actually an attraction, not just a statue.

Sneaky way to get people to drop $$$ on gems to buy (multiple) Platinum chests in order to get it.

Hi, popping in with a question!
I swear my pink gems will randomly disappear. Is this common? I KNOW I had 220 at the start of yesterday. Then I spent around 4 (almost positive it was 4) to finish Rapunzel's job early to level her up. Never spent any more. Today I have 188. I know for sure I didn't buy anything. I also swear this has happened before. Is it just me? Am I just crazy?

Did you accidentally purchase Cinderella's float, or open a 2nd spot for a treasure chest!

I did both the other night by accident, but luckily saw the gem drop and figured out what happened. I play on 2 devices, so went back to the previous saved game on the other device and got them back.

The float one is easy to do by accident as its now sitting in the front float spot. I was just used to hitting the first 2 floats to set a parade going that I didn't notice till I saw a new float going round. I think there should be a double check if you're soending gems.

That's exactly what happened. I thought that was a free thing. Now I'm mad! It's gonna take me a month to earn those back!!!! Thanks for clearing it up. No clue how I did it, but it must've happened!

bummer. So sorry that happened. I'm just glad I noticed when I did and was able to restore it. I was devastated at first. I'm not buying gems either, and am slowly scrimping and saving every one

That is a pity but don't worry it's fine it can be useful in the future.. I found the splash Mountains in my only platinum chest these days. It is the actual attraction. No gloves still but at least a small satisfaction. :/ meh, still don't like these chests... :/

Found my next chest in front of the scarecrow and the farm, FYI. A bronze chest.

So far I've only gotten 2 gold chests and the rest were bronze. First gold chest was the fish fountain and the second one had magic. I'm just going to treat this update like it never happened. I was getting bored with the game before the upsate. I was frustrated with how long it took to get Donalds tokens to drop. I'm still dealing with Mother Gothels ears not dropping. I have plenty of characters to still get up to level 10. I have one area still to clear. So I guess I will just focus on that. I'm not spending money for chests. I've accepted the fact that it will take weeks to get Charming. Maybe by then there will actually be a decent update with more characters and opened lands. Meh.

I haven't had any Gold or Platinum drop, mostly bronze and 2 silver. I don't have a problem paying for the premium characters, you get the characters and some gems to use on stuff. But buying chests doesn't feel right. If I spend $5 for 2 chests, I am not guaranteed anything specific. I might get Splash Mountain, I might get the gloves, or I could get some magic or a lantern.

 

[TygerHawks]

On that note, is there not a promotion for Merryweather?

I think that's the problem I have with it too - the risk =/= the possible reward. We all know the drop rate for the other items in the gold and platinum boxes will be much higher than they will be for Splash Mountain or the gloves. So I'm just going to do as mydisneyfix is above and just get the items when I get them.

Same, I'm going to just see this as another hard to get character. No way am I spending gems on chests for a chance at getting Charming or Splash Mountain, I'll get them when I get them just like Donald. I'm even still trying to get all the crowns for Aurora, those are taking forever for me as well.

 

[dacutebuggy]

I've been pouring through the past few pages--is there a consensus on how frequently chests should show up?

EDIT: I also am going to try and draw up a map tonight with locations for chests as have been reported by users here. Nothing like a good ol' fashion treasure map.

 

[xthebowdenx]

I burned through a bunch of gems, but I had over 600 built up, so eh. It's one of my favorite rides IRL so I had to have it.

 

[squirrel]

I get about 3-5 chests a day, I haven't been counting so just a guess. Almost all have been bronze, I may have had one or two gold.

 

[FenDavyO]

I thought that too! How cool would that be?!

How exciting! What are the rewards from it?

 

[xthebowdenx]

145 magic every 8 hours. Which isn't great, but I like looking at it

 

[BaxterSaysMeoww]

All I've found today is bronze chests. Kinda frustrating but I'm not gonna obsess over it, I guess when it happens it happens. It's only day 2. Stupid gloves.

I did the same thing. It's because they put that float in the front of the queue and I generally pick the first one. I have a hard time believing that this was not intentional on their part.

Totally agree. If you want to buy a chest, you pay money for something like a 1 in 10 chance that you will get something actually worthwhile. It's not like a character that you might want... at least then you actually GET the character. This adds an extra level of randomness to the game that is not appealing.

On that note, is there not a promotion for Merryweather?

I never saw one. She's pretty inexpensive gem-wise, though, and I try to get my premium characters by saving up gems that I have earned, so she's one I could "afford."

Same, I'm going to just see this as another hard to get character. No way am I spending gems on chests for a chance at getting Charming or Splash Mountain, I'll get them when I get them just like Donald. I'm even still trying to get all the crowns for Aurora, those are taking forever for me as well.

Me, too. I am just pretending that it's like Donald and will take forever to get Charming. Not going to give them actual money since that will just reward them for trying this stupid (since it's so random and you may spend $$$ and still not get what you want) money grab.

Found my next chest just below California Screamin', FYI.
