Time Travel in Night Watch Island?

poptropicaNightWatchParkingLot

It was pointed out to me in a previous post comment that the car in the teaser image from Night Watch Island is, in fact, a DeLorean, a reference to the sports car time-machine from the Back to the Future movies. The Twin Palms Mall is another reference. In the first Back to the Future movie, Marty McFly meets Doc Brown at the Twin Pines Mall before zooming back to 1955 in the DeLorean. The final reference is the red jeep in the parking lot, which is what Marty McFly drives when he’s not jumping through time.

So, what does that all mean? Β Is this just a clever movie reference or is there going to be time travel in Night Watch Island? More important, how cool would that be? We haven’t seen that as a plot device in Poptropica since Time Tangled Island, which came out a loooong time ago. Personally, I think its…ahem…time they returned to that plot device. What do you think?

  1. Wow, I love those movies! or I would if I had seen them, Ha Ha.

    Sadly, I don’t think they’re gonna have time travel as part of the Paul Blart-arian island, but hey, if they are, I’m all for it.
