Great Pumpkin Island, Sneak Peeks

Silent pumpkins, chatty Charlie

Slanted Fish

TODAY, you can meet the famous Charlie Brown on Poptropica! Just head over to the unfinished Great Pumpkin Island on the Map – he and Linus will be waiting for you! (Well, actually, Linus is waiting for the Great Pumpkin to visit for Halloween.)

If a pumpkin grows in an empty patch…

…does it make a sound?

Well, I’m not sure if any growing pumpkin makes a sound. But I do know that it’d be a shame to leave the Great Pumpkin Island pumpkin patch empty this week. Those pumpkins are starting to grow, all right. And now, if you visit you can talk to another PEANUTS character!

That’s right, good ol’ Charlie Brown is in the pumpkin patch with Linus, and he’s got plenty to say. Head over to Poptropica and take a look!

According to Charlie, they’re waiting for the Great Pumpkin to choose the pumpkin patch they are on – which is already starting to fill up with pumpkins! Although you may not believe in the Great Pumpkin’s existence, Charlie will tell you that the only thing more unlikely than the Great Pumpkin visiting… is convincing Linus that it doesn’t exist. What do you think? Will the Great Pumpkin make an appearance?

And the new island is…

I’ve seen many of you in the comments wondering about how the Creators will fit all the other new islands on a teeny tiny map. And they have heard you! In this new post, it tells you how they pumped up the map and they also tell you of the new island they are working on and are giving us a sneak peek! Before you run off, read this:

Pump up the map

Since we’ve added so many new Islands to Poptropica recently, you may have noticed the map screen has gotten a little too full. Well, no more! We’ve made a brand-new map. And it has plenty of room for even more Islands.

In fact, if you go to the map now, you’ll be able to see the next Island we’re working on — along with a sneak preview that’s open to everybody! Check it out!

SHARK BOY

Let me explain how the map works. When you leave the island, you get to control the blimp as it flies around the Poptropica map. as you pass over each island, it shows you the difficulty rank: Easy, medium, or hard. I’ll post the ranks later, because I’m sure you want to know what the new island is. If you really want to know it’s:

GREAT PUMPKIN ISLAND!

I’m sure you’re wondering WHAT THE HECK? or if I’m kidding, but i kid you not. The new island they’re working on is Great Pumpkin Island. It’s animated like Big Nate. When you get there you see a couple of signs and you also see Linus. You can talk with him about the Great Pumpkin. I wonder how this quest will turn out…. I just wonder what pumpkins, mansions, SUV’s, and driving dogs have to do with each other. Are they even on the same island? Anyway… before I forget, here are the ranks the Creators say the islands are. Bye guys! 😀

Early Poptropica: Easy 

Shark Tooth: Easy 

Time Tangled: Medium  

24 Carrot: Medium 

Super Power: Medium 

Spy: Hard   (This should be medium)

Nabooti: Medium

Big Nate: Easy

Astro Knights: Hard

Counterfeit: Medium

Reality TV: Medium

Mythology: Hard

Skullduggery: Hard

Steamworks: Hard

Great Pumpkin: Easy (for now)

Here’s a video by Loud Shark showing us the new map and the sneak peek of the new island:

On another note, school is starting soon for me, so I won’t be able to post as much. When school starts, I’ll only be available on Fridays. So, at all the other authors here, please save the Friday posts for me. 😀 K, thanks.

*TV static* We now interrupt our normal broadcast to bring you…this! A post wherein a sad boy will beg and plead for the fate of humanity!!!

…But not really. What I really need to ask is that you guys PLZZZZZZZ (notice, that’s 7 times the z’s!! THAT’S A LOT OF Z’S) take this poll!

–> TAKE THIS POLL <–

So…I’m just gonna walk off this stage here-*falls* MY SPLEEEEEEEEN

In other news, Steamworks Island will be available for non-members in about six days! 😀 To build up excitement for it, Captain Crawfish from the PCB posted a travelogue of his adventures in this new land:

Captain Crawfish’s Steamworks Island travelogue

Believe it or not, we’re only a week away from opening Steamworks Island to everyone! During the Early Access period, I’ve ventured away from Skullduggery Island to explore the mysteries of Steamworks.

Lucky for you, I took pictures! Settle in for a vacation slideshow like you’ve never seen. And no talking until I’m done.

One of the great things about Steamworks Island is how many different ways there are to get around. You might overlook this little bit of simple machinery on first glance.

But look what happens when you stand on it and start running!

It takes you all the way up the thread of the screw.

I know there’s a mystery to solve on Steamworks Island, but I was having too much fun with this. As it turns out, that was a recurring theme of my trip.

Chatting with an SUV

Shaggy Tornado

As a follow-up to the post that the Creators made yesterday, this new post by Hades concerns the SUV that we saw being oddly driven by a dog. O_o. Weird right? Who knows why a dog would be driving an SUV? Anyways….

Four-wheel drive

Yesterday you saw an overhead shot of a vehicle from a new Poptropica Island. We’ve managed to get in a little closer to show you a more detailed picture.

Looks like fans of Poptropica have some off-roading in their future! But… what will you find off the beaten path?

Answer: A muddy road, dinosaur tracks, and who knows what else! This might be an island of horrors after all… though i can’t find a relationship between dinosaur tracks and mansions, but we’ll figure it out soon enough. And now on to…

THE SECRET POPTROPICA CHAT!
Update: Seems to have stopped working. Creators fix all the good stuff. ~.~

This interesting chat was discovered by Maroon Fire from the Poptropica Help Chat! There’s five topics to choose to go to:  Vacation Spots, Raising Teens, Keeping  Your Family Happy, Mental Health, and TV Influences. If you go into each room, you find a multi-colored room with the name of the topic in the sign!

To chat, there must be another person in the room with you. Click on the person and click the button marked chat. They you get to type in anything. Yes, I said anything! You can spam! You can swear, though it’s not advised. 😉 The catches are that you can’t use your own Poptropica character to get into the room and the characters are girls. 😐

Obiwan2324 had a theory that the chat room was for moms to talk. 😛 It makes sense though. Check out this chat at:  http://www.poptropica.com/chat !

See you guys later! 😀

BOOM!

Hmm… Jurassic Park, anyone?

Who knows what the Creators are up to…

Top down, in more ways than one

We’ve got a sneak peek at some more development work being done on the newest Poptropica Island.

It’s a top down view, and it looks like that SUV has its top down, too! What do you suppose is happening here?

0.o Is the rex gonna eat us? If so, WE’RE DOOMED. If not, we spare no expense. 😉 But still. Very suspicious…

Aside from action movie islands, do you think there will be HORROR islands too? Vote in the poll which horror might turn out as an island. *grabs knife* Well…you creators are awesome!

P.S. There’s something disturbing about the title of the Creators’ blog post.
