No but could be easily fixed by including a pop bumper save in the code. "If last switch is bumper then drain. Ball save"

Easy to add and would immediately take away the frustration. Simple fix that could be turned on/off depending on your preference.

Not an issue with my LE but well said. Please forward to Mr Lyman.

Got Lyman's email address?

Oh Lord let's not go there.

Imagine for a moment if it got out on Pinside. ...the horror ...the horror.

"must be a big gun held to your head! "

Joke? I don't get it. Pos game is in my current league lineup so ya, no choice.

Keep the emoticons on your own statements please. It's how to tell if your awesome.

It has been widely documented that if the game is level you will not get those dumb drains. Might want to give it another shot.

I understand when you just hate everything about a pin ...but this is crossing the line. Dinging TWD because you find the likeness of a recently pulled up bloated zombie that was trapped in a well for god knows how long - ugly? Tisk tisk ...poor form.

I don't know why but that little quip in your rant did make my day, thanks.

What? nothing but interesting things to shoot at, its Zombies. The LE cab is awesome but even if it wasn't who cares really, and the ugly WWalker is easily fixed if you wanted to. This game cannot be judged by an on site pro. I hope you get to play a nice LE one day.

Just joined the club with a nice pickup on a Premium.....I have played about a dozen games on the Pro, so really as new as one can get for this pin.
I look forward to see how it fits my own tastes, as I play for fun, not competitive, and for Art, sound and light, as an experience. Since I love the TV show, but preferred the artwork, (and cost) of a Premium.
Ill dive in this weekend and see what it does....for me and the family.

I could tell you what he thinks of the LE/Premium. Lol

Spill. I love the game and I'm updating the code later and hopefully it'll make it better, but all I do is slap the silver shiny thing around and look at the cool lights and admire the way it looks. Be interesting to hear what someone who actually knows what they're doing thinks and why.

I love this game, but it really makes me want to shoot myself in the head sometimes.

If they were trying to capture what it's like to live in fear of Zombies, they have succeeded.
I am constantly in fear of ball drains while playing this game - it's fricken brutal.
The SDTM from the top magnet unless i hold the flippers, the random pop drains (not horrible but probably happens 5% of the time out of the pops), the bouncing off the slings to the gutters - game is just so frustrating and difficult - But I love it - can't stop playing it.

Sometimes I really wish I had some easy games, only easyish one I have is Whirlwind

maybe put regular flippers on your FT and BSD. That should help. You do have a tough collection though.

I really haven't experienced the drains from the pops but when I think about it I probably wouldn't feel that it was a cheap drain as most others in this thread have said.

My collection consists of games with for the most part completely free range pop bumper action - so if you loft a ball up to the pops - you'd better be ready to have it fired right back at you. I would imagine the issue (and I believe has) been solved by using a slightly thicker post sleeve near the exit. If that has already suggested its because TL:DR.

I will say I enjoy the game on location and can't wait to have one at home.

The Prison is brutal on the location game I play. I don't know what is more frustrating, the drains, or the non-registering of the head. Door bashes are seem by the opto. What they should have done was positioned the opto so that when the doors are open (or have another opto for this) hits are seen by the opto, not a switch. Things would be so much more consistent that way.

Lots of complaints about the head in the prison...can someone please explain how to adjust this switch...Thank you...........Joey

Not code for sure.
The head actually registers a little different with the playfield up or down, keep that in mind. And adjust like any other switch.

Best plan of attack?...do you get to the switch from under the playfield or take the prison roof off?...I’m trying to get as much info as I can before I dive in...Thank you.........Joey

It's a standard leaf switch @breaking_dad. Look up some videos and guides on how to properly adjust a leaf switch. Make sure it is in good working order too.

And fwiw I'd also be checking for and removing any cliffies/protection around the Prison Magnet. They're known to cause problems with the Prison shot.

It’s a standard leaf switch, but the way it is activated is not standard at all. The head has a arm underneath it that when you hit the head that arm swings forward and hits a big standup target under the game to register the hit.

You can make that switch crazy sensitive, but the best way to make that shot more consistent its to reduce the distance that arm has to travel to strike the target.

I simply took the soft side of sticky Velcro and attached it to the part of the arm that hits the target. Fixed the issue of the head not registering right up.
