Hey Adventuring Poptropicans! SD here with a few Poptropica updates. But before we get into that, I just want to give you a heads up: School has started for most of us authors, so we probably will be less active when it comes to posting. Don’t get me wrong! Everyone on the team will still try to keep you up to date as much as possible! 😉
Anyway, you may have noticed that Poptropica is currently down for maintenance. Not much was explained, so we don’t know exactly why it is down, but the Creators say they will let us know as soon as the site is back up.
In other news, the Creators also recently posted a sketch! Whatever the sneak peek is for, the project is “super-early.”
It appears to shows Oliver, from the Poptropica Comics.
Talking about sneak peeks, you may have already heard of the next Poptropica island! Most refer to it as “Pelican Rock Island” for the time being.
Thanks to Brave Tomato (for doing a ton of research on the island), we know the island is probably based on Alcatraz, which is a (now closed) famous high security prison on an island in San Francisco. When the island was first found, it was named La Isla de los Alcatraces, which means The Island of the Pelicans, so this makes perfect sense!
Fun fact: I have been on a tour of Alcatraz when visiting California! One big thing I remember: It STINKS of bird droppings.
We haven’t talked a lot about Pelican Rock Island, but we will mention it more as it develops into an actual island. For now, I will leave you with this:

Yo, SD! 😀
Sup! 🙂
Oh and I like your Gravatar. What’s it of? You?
Thanks! Yeah, it’s of me. It kinda resembles my Poptropican, but it’s more accurate to what I actually look like. I even drew it myself! 🙂
Are you artistic? (that was a random question)
Yep! I’m even a part of the Poptropica community on DeviantArt! 😉
Hello SD, you may (or may not) remember me…
Umm, I think I remember you. Welcome back Icy Snowball! 🙂
Thanks. Hey is there anything going on in Poptropica?
Umm, well just keep checking in on our posts to see what’s happening in Poptropica! Arabian Nights recently came out, Pelican Rock is coming soon, Our Discovery Island was recently discovered, etc.
Discovery Island?
Yeah, it’s this alternate “Orange Poptropica.” Read this post to find out more.
