Update: OK, thank you to everyone in the comments who points out that Construction Guy does appear in Counterfeit Island. He’s blocks the way to certain parts of the island when night comes. I must have missed him. And there’s one new update to Balloon Boy. You can see him in the background when you’re on the Scooter chase sequence (see the screenshot below). Go, Balloon Boy, go!
A lot of people are writing comments asking what happened to the Construction Guy in Counterfeit Island. If you remember back in November, the creators posted some sneak peek screenshots of characters we would meet in Counterfeit Island. The first turned out to be the security guard up in the museum security office. The third is the woman who leads the tour of the underground tunnels. But the guy in the middle, who is wearing coveralls and a construction helmet, doesn’t seem to appear anywhere on the island. Did we miss him or did he get dropped from the island before it was released? Have you seen him on Counterfeit Island? If so, post in the comments!
Many people are also asking what happens to Balloon Boy. When you give him a green balloon, he takes off in the air. If you don’t have access to Counterfeit Island yet, you can see him at about one minute into Part 1 of my Counterfeit Island Walkthrough video. This is a joke by the Poptropica Creators that references the big Balloon Boy hoax from October when everyone thought a young boy from Colorado was trapped inside a giant weather balloon that had taken off from his parent’s backyard. In Counterfeit Island’s joke version, we see little Balloon Boy fly off into the air but never return. You can watch the TV in the Web Cafe and see scenes of him flying away. But what will happen to poor little Balloon Boy in Poptropica? Will we ever see him again? We need answers!
Save Balloon Boy! We need to know he is safe!

The construction guy blocks the way to the Country Side when you go to meet the mysterious guy at night. I was looking for the last piece of the torn picture, thinking it was near the detective’s house, but for some reason, they do ‘night construction’.
Is that even safe?
Whatever. I really appreciate this site and all the help for each island! Might as well give back.

that is not legal to do road construction at night what a weirdo
pleez let ballon boy on your new island potropica creators pleez im beggin u

Maybe the construction worker has something to do with balloon boy….. is it possible balloon boy landed on the trees close to where he first dissapeared, and as rere commented, “that is not legal to do road construction at night” and they were just covering something up??????????
HLOY CRAP I SAW HIM!!!!!!!!!!!AFTER THE WHOLE ISLAND IS DONE GO TO THE TOUR SITE!!!!!! I SAW HIM!!!! MAYBE YOU WON’T, BUT E-MAIL ME BACK!!SOMEONE DID SAYING HEY DID SEE HIM BUT 23 OTHERS SAID THEY DIDN’T!!HOLY CRAP!!!!
Me too. Maybe we can. Somehow they will let ballon boy land on the new island after the great pumpkin island. I hope.
me too. i’ll email the creator, maybe he will respond.
i e-mailed the creator and idk when he’ll respond back.

copy this into your web address bar to see what the balloon boy hoax is.
balloon boy’s parents are jerks!!
Why doesn’t balloon boy land on an island?
I found out where the balloon boy was
You can see him from the view finder thing by loch ness in cryptids island ( The old lady will stop you after a bit, so look in the sky as long as possible to find him!!!)
um i have a question…why is the construction guy there anyway? i mean night construction is pretty dangerous since you can’t see at night…so why?
i wish the poptropica creaters would make him land or something i wish i didnt give him the balloon but i think you have to ps i didnt see balloon boy in the viewfinder
some people (mermaid girl) saved him they got all the outfits and everthing ill tell you if she tells me how
Hi I have theory of balloon boy. Maybe Balloon Boy did land down, but after so many years he grew up and now one reliased it was him (I mean come on when was Counterfiet Island released? He must have grown up.) I think they should make an island called Unknown Man where there’s Balloon boy grown and back for revenge. He knows we will come there so it’s a setup. Also you can only go there once you finished all of the island yet, and when you go there, he will blow up your balloon because he is mad and can’t bare to see balloons, and does every thing to trouble us.
Oh and it will be called unknown man because no one knows it really is him.
i really need to know the gold and sparkely outfit i told my friend i could get it but now i cant
please please help i dont want to be a lier
WHERE ARE THESE STUPID PEOPLE?????????????????
All right, if you people won’t tell us where the are………
…. the LEAST you could do is let us join then!
the unknown man island sounds really cool! wat is the creators email address?:)
Balloon boy is on the TV on Reality TV Island!
Just go to the poptropica game and find the “contact us” link. And send your message.
But science there is so much comments, they can’t give you any answer
He is the construction guy I am missing the last pieces but I think it is in the police station
you save him by going to reality tv island and talk to the girl with
camera. then you use the vampire costume to scare the salsman at the tv store then
grab your cell phone and dial 5556789 and then he falls down from the sky.
( just kidding) i have no idea of how to save balloon boy……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
Hi ppl!!!
I havent been on this post in a looonnngggg time. I wonder if they’ll put Balloon Boy in the island that’s coming out after Shrink Ray?
They should make a whole island about saving Balloon Boy.
the first time i did counterfeit island he wusnt there but when i re-did it he was there… weird…
I didn’t see him at all… to bad, I wonder if he crash landed and died. poor thing, dying at such a young age……………………. ITS ALL MY FAULT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!… sniff…
you know I have the feeling that no one will right back to me… I’m new here. Is that why?? I don’t know anybody. :[
i think i saw balloon boy when he was grown up on shrink ray island i mean i saw a green balloon that is a little wrinkled and looks exactly like the one from counterfeit
RRRRR i’m gonna kill balloon boy!
hmm…….. maybe i’ll use that shrink ray gun from the store and shrink that balloon. then for balloon boy, he’s fonna fall and DIE!
or i can sneak a bomb in his balloon.
WHY AM I ALWAYS LAST TO COMMENT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Its so funny, because I wanted to finish this island without this cheat site. So I found balloon boy with his mom, and his mom spoke in french!!! i dont know any of that! And that french-english dictionary page did not help. so guess what – i had to find a translation website to find out what she said, and it meant something like my son wants a green balloon.
the construction man s blocking the country side area at night.
what has balloon boy actually have to do with it? i mean he’s nothing to do with the theft, and you dont rescue him or anything…… WIERD!!!!!!!!!!
