I should have left my brats home. My day was ruined over and over again by being beaten by 7 year olds.
Other than that I had a great time! Played loads of games, met lots of great folks!
Thank you Ivan and everyone else that helped!
Quoted from erak:The Line was bigger I was at the back that looped around. But still got in in 10-15 mins.
And 2 people were giving out tickets and 2 wrist bands. Same as the last 4 years. I Don't know how it's a 2hr line unless you showed up at 10. [quoted image]
Yeah, the line moved pretty quick. I was about 1/2 way in the line when it opened on Friday, it seemed like around a 10 minute wait. With the entry fee being $20/$10 there isn't much change to be made. Make it $21/$11 and then it might have really been a 2 hour line.
Quoted from drummermike:Show was great as always except for the few people that played on 4 player by themselves or kept pushing start when someone was waiting to play next.
In the 2 days I only had 1 person hog a machine in front of me. Played 2 in a row on Haunted House, then she had a friend join in for the 3rd. We just moved on and came back later. Perhaps some people think once you're on a machine it yours until you've had enough.
Quoted from BMore-Pinball:How can I show my love for pinball/pinfest without a commemorative shirt
Put on 50 lbs and buy and XL? 
Little different, but twice I had to finish off the last 2 balls on some EMs. The were set for 5 balls and I'm guessing the people just left after 3 thinking the game was over. Luckily no line to play, so nobody thought I as hogging the game.
Quoted from SilverUnicorn:Not sure if this happened on my Bad Cats (the one toward the front) or the one in the back, but if you're near the area you're always welcome to stop over and play mine. Well, once I get it set up again
Chris
I stopped by yesterday to play your Bad Cats but there was a 2 minute line to get in so I drove an hour and a half back to Jersey.
Quoted from iceman44:Did anyone play Oktoberfest? Thoughts?
Loved it! So did my 7 years olds. But they're big beer drinkers, so that might have swayed their opinions.
With all the talk, I did spend a lot of time watching the screen, some fun stuff on there. Even if they didn't make any more improvements I think it would already be good enough for my taste. I made the beer barrel shot twice, once in each game. So that's not a problem. Bit of a bummer on my first game was the VUK was a bit strong and the ball kept going off the end and down the drain. Same thing happened to guy in front of me. On the other machine I didn't see that happen at all. Between the 3 of us we hit it a number of times, so seemed only be an issue on the first one. Also never got to see the weiner dog go down the slide, poor thing was scared. Watched a number of people try that tent, but never saw anybody complete it.
Quoted from hazmat7719:It could have been. She had light hair. I noticed that she spent a lot of time at each game, ignoring the line behind her while playing multiple games.
Sounds about right. Wish I took a pic.
