The Poptropica Blimp

The Poptropica Blimp is a large yellow and gold striped blimp used to navigate the player throughout the islands on Poptropica. When you go into the blimp, you are brought to the map.

Location of the Blimp
The Poptropica blimp appears in every island up to Survival Island. This is because every island following Survival Island was an episodic island, because adding multiple blimps on an island's different episodes would be odd, especially considering that some of them take place fully in buildings or areas in similar positions. Players could access the map through a blimp icon located in the menu.

In Survival Island, you come to the island using the blimp and it crashes, disabling you in later episodes (always as that first episode) from using it to get back to the map. It's a fairly important part of the island, which is why it appears in Survival Island, despite all other episodic islands don't have the blimp.

Blimp Toy
A toy blimp is available. It is inflatable and contains a small poptropican figure inside the bottom of the blimp. It comes with a promo code that can unlock a mini-island called Poptropica Blimp Adventure where you have to face an evil villain named Dr. Cumulo Nimbus who is destroying islands with his Storm Blimp.

Trivia

 * The Poptropica Blimp appears on every island except the episodic islands (Mission Atlantis, Arabian Nights, and PoptropiCon).
