The Journey

The Journey is the metaphoric journey in which Club Penguin has grown, evolved and improved over time. This includes it's roots in Experimental Penguins, it's update to Penguin Chat and Penguin Chat 3, the first two generations of Club Penguin (2005-2007, and 2007-2012), Club Penguin's current third generation (2012-present), and beyond. Lane Merrifield, the co-founder of Club Penguin, recently announced in New Horizons Pt. 1 that Club Penguin will take a step into "The Next Leg of the Journey.", meaning Club Penguin is now ready to be updated to Generation Three, starting with the updated rooms and home page. Generation Three of the game will begin here, ending Generation Two (2007-2012), and Club Penguin will continue to grow and improve as time goes on.

Town
The Town now has cobblestone underneath the snow. The Coffee Shop window is on the proper side, and the Gift Shop and Night Club are now the Clothes Shop and Dance Club, respectively. There is a bench added next to the Coffee Shop and the Chairs and Table have been changed too. There is a slight chance the Town will have music, because on the outside of the Dance Club there are speakers. In the corner of the town, there is a small area that could have been the rumored "news room". This room has been renovated as of December 6, 2012.

Ski Village
A little bit of wood can be seen under the snow and the Ski Lodge now looks like a realistic cabin, the Everyday Phoning Facility is now no longer on fire and is now just grey bricks. The Ski Lift was also updated. A conveyor can now also be seen next to the Ski Hill bringing tubes up to the top. This room has been renovated as of December 6, 2012.

Snow Forts
They have obviously been given a completely new style. The forts are larger, and there is a Snow Puffle in the bottom right. With the smoothing of the forts, they lose the rough, realistic look that they used to have. Also, if you look closely, the plaque beside the Clock Tower has been removed. This room has been renovated as of December 6, 2012.

Plaza
Like the Town, the Plaza has its own cobblestone underneath the snow. Everything has been completely redrawn and now signs have been given to each room. The Pizza Parlor now has an awning, with a giant slice of pizza on top. The Stage's main shape remains the same, but there are now dramatic puffles above the 'Now Showing' area. The Mask in the top left is gone. The Puffle Shop's exterior finally matches the interior after it's redesign. There is a window with a Puffle Launcher sticking out. The top floor is a different color and shape, and has it's own windows and tubes. This room has been renovated as of December 6, 2012.

Gift Shop
It has a new and modern feel to it, now if you notice on the right wall you will see a bunch of rare items. This definitely means that none of these items will be returning at all. There is now a raised section similar to the Coffee Shop, but it wraps around the room. There are now only two dressing rooms, and there is a runway in the non-elevated area. There is a hair/make-up area in the bottom left. It was also renamed the Clothes Shop. This room has been renovated as of November 1, 2012.

Dock
Tables have been added, and it now resembles the Camp Penguin Dock from '07. If you also look very closely, you'll see that the box on the dock itself has been removed. If you look closely, again, you will see a frozen water fountain. The dock has sort of a 'nature park' feel to it. This room has been renovated as of December 6, 2012.

Beach
A dock has been added at the top left as well as the fact that it no longer resembles a beach as much as it used to. A bridge to the Dock has also been added. The dock in the Beach is probably for the Migrator, Rockhopper's ship. There are now rocks on the lighthouse side. In addition, the Ski Lift is much more prominent in the view of the Ski Hill. This room has been renovated as of December 6, 2012.

Pizza Parlor
Now it resembles a diner with a stage, kitchen, and more tables. The theme will also most likely be replaced. It appears to also sell drinks after the update. The stage is much smaller, and the piano is no longer a grand piano. There are many more booths, and the Pizzatron can now be seen near the oven. Also, the music of the Room is now a slower and more classic version of the Pizzatron 3000 Game.

This room has been renovated as of November 1, 2012.

Dance Club
It has got a more "modern" look and it matches with the Dance Lounge. It still has the same music, and the Keeper of the Boiler Room is shifted to the middle-right speaker. The DJ Table and the stage are also increased and modified. It has also been renamed as the Dance Club.

This room has been renovated as of November 1, 2012.

Trivia

 * The new Gift Shop, Night Club, and Pizza Parlor were released on November 1, 2012. This marked the start of the next step in "The Journey".
 * The Night Club looks like what it did during Make Your Mark: Ultimate Jam.
 * The Map would need to be updated after The Journey is finished because it would still have the designs of the old rooms on it along with Jet Pack Adventure and Welcome Solo.
 * Once the renovations for the Plaza were completed, the Pet Shop will finally have 2 doors seen on the exterior. The door to the Coffee Shop will also be on the correct side.
 * It appears like most of the snow has melted, and you can see concrete and rocks where the snow hasn't covered them.
 * The Keeper of the Boiler Room was replaced with new Puffle looks on December 6, 2012.
 * The Town, Plaza, Snow Forts, Dock, Beach, and Ski Village were renovated on December 6, 2012. This marked the next step in "The Journey".
 * Many penguins did not know the Ski Village was going to be updated, as the new design of that room was not shown in the New Horizons video, most likely because the video came before Operation: Blackout and they didn't want to spoil the Everyday Phoning Facility for penguins.
 * Only the Ski Village and the Beach had the new looks during the Holiday Party 2012.
 * The art styles in Penguin Style now match with the rooms that are renovated due to Journey.
 * The Journey is the first planned renovation to a series of rooms.
