The French Montgolfier Brothers were the first to fly a balloon, I'm not sure about a blimp. They are not the same.
go to the blimp and fly to the island
nothing. you start the game with the blimp and can travel to all islands with it. you don't need a thing.
No. helium gas inside the blimp keeps it aloft. Just like a helium makes balloons fly!!

Early poptropica is on the Poptropica map. You fly there in the Poptropica blimp.
you get on the blimp and click on any island that's open.
no, but you need engines to control the airship (AKA blimp)
during the singing of the national anthem jets fly over, but a blimp will flyover during the race. the Goodyear blimp F16s
Goodyear website says 35 mph cruise, 50 mph max. Seen from a Cessna 150, they appear to hang in the air, and the C150 is not a fast aircraft.
They have to be moored by the front end to a tall mast on a truck specially equipped for this purpose. Plenty of space is needed because the blimp has to be free.
You can't really go anywhere to do this because there are so few blimps flying, it would be impossible to justify opening a blimp school. Obviously you've got to learn to fly a blimp somehow, and this is how it's done. The first step is to get a pilot's license for multiengine fixed-wing aircraft. You technically only need a Commercial rating, but the blimp operator will only hire you if you have an Air Transport Pilot rating. So go out and get one of those. You then find one of the very, very few blimp pilot openings. Once you've got a job as a blimp pilot, they'll teach you to fly it. Or you can buy one, and they'll teach you to fly it. But that's really expensive.
