And on Poptropica, that means Wimpy Boardwalk island is in the works! Here’s a clip from the Creators showing a bit of their creative process.
Also, next Thursday, June 14, marks the grand opening of the Poptropolis Games for everyone! This means that there’s only one week left before the members-only bonus “Wrestling Gear” costume is no longer available! Its limited time ends after the early access period.
In other news, PHB author MT recently resigned from the blog for personal reasons. If you would like to say goodbye, click here to go to his farewell post.
*in the launch area, the RP held on to the mouse too long and just flipped over the pole*
Random Person: Okay, maybe I can’t do this.
Epically failing at the weight-lifting?
*a random person plays the game, but has one of those touch-screen laptop mouses*
Random Person 2: X, X, X, X… curse this mouse!
Well, before we break those monitors, the Creators give us this friendly reminder about the fact that we don’t have to place first in every single event. As long as you’re good at the others. 😐
The good thing about the Poptropolis Games is that you don’t need to place first in every event in order to win the gold medallion. The winner of the Games is the one with the best overall performance, which means you can have a few clunkers and still come out on top.
It’s a good thing, too! Some of these events are tough. I laid an egg on the pole vault the last time I played.
Some of you may have already won the gold medallion, but has anybody out there placed first in every single event? That’s a feat we’d love to see!
Remember, Poptropolis Games is open to Members now. It will be available for everyone to play on June 14.

Thanks to you, CC, you’ve saved so many monitors. I mean- the first time I did the island, I got second place, and it was kinda annoying. Moving right along, in celebration of Wimpy Wonderland Boardwalk, the Creators released the desktop wallpaper and the printable poster for the new summer Wimpy Kid island!
We’re making a splash to start the summer. Now, when you visit the Wimpy Boardwalk info page, you can download a new desktop wallpaper and printable poster!
Wimpy Boardwalk is coming soon to Poptropica. Keep reading our blog for the latest news!

In case you’re wondering, this is what the poster looks like:
Greg looks so different with color. But different’s good. Unless you’re being pelted by rocks instead of the usual tomatoes. In that case, stick with what you know.
Hey, everyone. You could probably tell by the title of this post that I am resigning, only for my own personal reasons.
It was a pleasure to add my contributions to this helpful blog. I’d like to thank Hijuyo for giving me this opportunity, but I believe it’s time for me to leave to let someone else’s dreams come true. I’ll still promise myself to be writing Party with Hobos , but I will no longer be on the PHC. Good luck in future islands, Poptropicans! I was pleased to help you & this blog. I’m just kind of out of words right now, so I apologize that this is so short. But yeah..
Hey guys. 🙂 (update: see below for “Photastic” post!)
The Creators have posted the cover of the next Wimpy Kid book. Here it is…
The third wheel? I didn’t even know that we had two to start with!
From what I’ve heard from the news (Jeff Kinney was at a childrens books writers’ expo in Sydney, NSW, Australia) it’s basically about Greg trying to find a date to the valentines day dance. My guess is, he’ll say that he’s got a great chance of going with Holly Hills or something, but he’ll end up just going with his best friend, Rowley.

*flies away into clouds*
EDIT (Hijuyo):
We’ve recently heard from a PHB reader, Lucas, that his Poptropican jaramillo14 (Lone Heart) is the one featured in the PCB’s “Photastic” post. Congratulations, Lone Heart, for earning all 109 photos currently available in Poptropica’s photo album! Hard work does pay off. 🙂
How many photos have YOU earned on Poptropica Friends? Do you have more or less than your friends? Let us know in the comments below!
Remember the announcement of the Wimpy Kid that was going to make history? Well, the announcment is….
A NEW ISLAND NAMED
WIMPY BOARDWALK!
And better yet…
IN LIVING COLOR!
*coughs* It’s tiring using that big voice…. Anyway here’s the trailer for Wimpy Boardwalk, coming this summer to Disney Channel Poptropica!
Island Plot:
It’s summertime, but the living ain’t easy for a wimpy kid. When Greg and Rowley visit the boardwalk for a relaxing beach vacation, they never expect to run afoul of thieving teens, ravenous seagulls, and crooked carnies. Only you can clean up Greg’s mess before vacation ends!
Before you go, there’s one more task to be done. A devious gamer has left an embarrassing message about Greg on a high-score list in the arcade. Can you master the game, save Greg’s dignity, and become the boardwalk champion? Find out how to get Membership now!
Members get an additional Wimpy Boardwalk gear pack, which includes Beachgoer costume, Heat Wave power, and Beach Umbrella item. The Beachgoer is ONLY available during Early Access!
Interesting! First time a character has appeared in 2 islands, and first time Wimpy Kid is in color! History -making announcement indeed! 😀 Speaking of announcements, have you noticed the homepage has been changed?
Yeah. Also, the Creators mentioned that if Members beat the ancient warrior in the Poptropolis Games, they can get this Ancient Warriors suit!
~~~
That’s all for me! I haven’t been on lately because of school and stuff, but since summer’s rolled around, I’m finally free! 😀 Have a great summer!/ end of school!
