Valentine gift from EA: Choo Choo Train

Already have three trains and over 60 pink fence pieces and yet no fountain. Vday gift and event officially craptacular in my opinion. There's some wonderful sour grapes for valentines!

I can't remember--what was the gift last year?

I'd like to know this too. I checked the wiki and it mentioned a new level being released on v-day 2013, but no gift.

Perhaps I'm just easy to please, but I think the train (or another train in some cases) is a perfectly cute free trinket.

Overall this was a neat Valentine's Day event. We got an essentially free female character (one that was originally voiced by a celebrity no less a.k.a even less likely to have been given) with a new restaurant.

It would be cool if they give something completely new to the event itself, but I like that little train. :mrgreen:

It's cool that it also knocks it off the wheel too. My feeder town still needed the train (in addition to 4 other things--I neglect it). My main town only had 1 (after too many spins) so it's still nice for me to get another one. Now I have one in front of both the supermarket and Sprawl mart like it's one of those small rides.

Would be even better if it would count as a winning spin for those unable to spin the train.

Guess what I just won on my very first spin of the day...

So that's three now. 6% bonus for free. Can't complain about that - even if the trains are fugly.

I was only needing the train to complete the wheel (my last six spins that I collected up yesterday only netted me lots of fences and a couple of lamp posts), so I'm am super elated that the gifted train given out today indeed counted towards completing the wheel, as I was beginning to think I just might not finish it in time, with my poor luck and all.

Not to decide just where in Krustyland to place the new ride. :)

. Donuts would have been nice though, since I am about to spend all of mine (saved up from starting the game) on the Up Up and Buffet. :D

Yeah, I just spent most of mine on Otto. More donuts is always a welcome sight. But hey, multiplier is good, too.

I too got the choo choo train, but some extra hearts as well.

As I collected cards, got the normal 2 hearts, but I tapped Brandine's kids to collect the payout and got hearts. There was no card above them. I tapped Krusty when I was collecting the Kwik-E-Mart,and got hearts as well. I'm also getting hearts a second time from the same person.
I just tapped Mindy and collected the card, tapped her again and got 2 more and the friend that had left the card, their name appeared again.
I'm also getting hearts as I put them on tasks. A different name popped up, and some, no name at all.
It isn't happening to all of them, so I don't know what's going on.
At first I thought it was part of the gift, but it just appears to be some type of glitch.
What is strange is that I'm sitting here wondering why I am surprised by this.

Update: This only happened in the town that I had to redo level 38.
Thank you,thank you, thank you, I'm thrilled by the generous gift.

possibly cause they exit-entered again your SF and retapped the same character? since you had no character to tap? no idea

i didn't have a train yet, so works for me :D

with all the multipliers they give away for free what is the motivation in spending 30-40 donuts for the decorations that also give a 2% multiplier?
