With Wimpy Boardwalk (PHB guide here) as Poptropica’s 28th island, the challenge is on to collect them all (island medallions, that is)! Have you completed all the islands? How many medallions do you have? And which islands did you enjoy the most? 🙂
Ooh, shiny!
Speaking of islands, what do you think of the recent Daily Pop sneak peeks? It looks like there may be some interesting musical/space exploration in the future! These two pics below suggest there’s some old photos for the memories at PASE, which is the Poptropica Academy for Space Exploration, a parody of NASA.
What are your thoughts on this? 😀
Also, thanks to MT for the new Twisted Thicket themed PHB header!
Hola, Poptropicans! With the recent release of the Summer-anticipated island, Wimpy Boardwalk, members got to experience it first hand. And the Creators exposed the first ten players who figured out the Boardwalk first. The island could be pretty tough to figure out independently without a guide (just a little warning for the non-members waiting for it)! And so if you hit a brick wall, you could always turn to the official PHB guide or video playlist! And here goes the list. Congratulations to..

On July 26, 2012, the Poptropica Help Blog turns four years old! Just like last year, we’re celebrating with a PHB Author Night at the Poptropica Help Chatroom (PHC), in which you, dear readers, will get to talk live with the authors of this blog and meet lots of other awesome Poptropicans!
DATE: Thursday, July 26, 2012
TIME: 5:30pm PST / 6:30pm MST / 7:30 CST / 8:30pm, EST (There’s no set time for it to end, so stay as long as you can!)
Be sure to check which time zone you’re in to make sure you come at the right time! (Though it wouldn’t hurt to be early.) EST is Eastern Standard Time in the USA, but if you’re in the GMT+8 time zone like me, that’s 8:30am.
The PHC – where Author Night will be taking place. A safe chatroom environment with moderators, and of course, PHB authors!
The PHC can be accessed by clicking the “Chat” link in the navigation bar above, or by going to xat.com/thephc. Be sure to familiarize yourself with the chat rules and ranks (this information can be found by scrolling down on the Xat page). Even on regular days (before & after Author Night), you’re welcome to use the PHC.
But it happened. A month after my heartbreaking resign, Hijuyo invited me back to this wonderful blog to be a bonus author. I guess miracles really do happen! To refresh your memory about me, I’m a thirteen year-old mulatto boy from California who likes to listen to music and laugh at silly things. While I was gone, I was writing on a Poptropica blog I created called LegitPop (updated daily). I made history I suppose coming back here, but y’know .. it be like that sometimes. So, I’ll be helping along some cool writers to provide the best of Poptropica news. Thanks Juyo for taking me back and I’ll try my hardest.
Then “Walk” on over to Wimpy Boardwalk, because it is OUT…for members. (I’m bad at jokes huh? Points for effort? 😀 )
There is a demo out for non-members though. Once you land on the Boardwalk, talk to Greg. He’ll tell you how the game he’s playing, Himalayan Hurl is rigged. When he takes out his money, it flies away into the hands of two teenagers who run off with it. Follow Greg as he runs after them. Catch up with him at the Boardwalk Arcade and says the teens disappeared somewhere. Go right to the beach and talk to the guy selling Souvenir keychain photos. Tell him you don’t have any money and he’ll let you take a photo for free. (You get a photo for your photo album once you complete this action). He gives you sunblock, which you’ll be able to use for this guy once the full island releases.
While you’re there, you’ll see a seagull carrying a keychain! Jump onto the trash can and when the seagull passes over you, jump and get the keychain. See a striking resemblance to the guy with the metal detector? You can give it to him when the full island releases. Meanwhile, go back to the Boardwalk arcade and see Greg tell you that the kids are underneath the boardwalk taunting you with the money, like so:
If you try to go underneath the boardwalk, they run away with the money. So you’ll have to find a way to get the money without them running away. CUE END OF DEMO if you go to the beach or the Boardwalk Rides. But this place will play a role in your quest:
(Creds to Super Thunder for pics! 😉 )

Wimpy Boardwalk Trivia!
1) There is a handheld laser gun in the common room! But you don’t get to keep it 😦 *sigh*
2) Your character gets to wear SHOES!
3) This is the first time the Creators’ have released an island out of the blue without a countdown.
~~~
The island will be released to everyone on July 18! At least it’s a shorter wait! 🙂
Happy 4th of July for those in the US! And Happy Wednesday for those that aren’t!
