Bane, fwiw...I had the same crashing issues on an iPad3 (1GB RAM). Level 125 park and anything that required a list of my dragons to be brought up crashed the game (new breeding, quests, colosseum, etc...). I purchased the new 2GB RAM iPad and don't have any of those issues anymore, thank goodness. Plus, the game loads so quickly now and I can even visit friend parks again (they load in about 10-15 secs for a level 125 park). I am very surprised what a difference the new iPad makes. Other apps and web browsing are noticeably faster as well.

If you are worried about "future-proofing", I believe there is a 4GB RAM iPad in the Pro series.

And your old device might still have trade-in value. I got $65 for my iPad3 (poor condition) and $115 for my iPad4 (good condition) from Best Buy (about 2 months ago). Apple was offering very similar amounts. That helped offset the cost.

Good luck, I know how frustrating it is to play the way you are playing now. It was either get a new iPad or quit for me. I'm glad I decided on the new iPad.
