Quoted from LTG:White Castle themed pin for the win.

Resurrect the Vari-Target and call it a 'Slider'.

International shipping themed game would be great. Help delivery person drop off and pickup packages. FedEx vs USPS vs UPS vs DHL - who is fastest, most accurate and less damage.

Bring it on!

Whatever the game is, I'm excited to see American Pinball progressing as a manufacturer and can't wait to play whatever they bring to the table next.

A mystery caper would be cool. I always like whodunnit. I just cannot see Oktoberfest doing well. I hope I'm wrong.

Quoted from Genjuro:The circus died for a good reason. It wont appeal to younger players at all.
I think if you went dark circus is would. American Horror Story and Carnival were popular, Jim Rose's Circus Sideshow, creepy clowns like in Rob Zombie horror movies and It, burlesque, freak shows, that kinda angle.
So many scary dark themed pins or ideas. We need something to make us laugh.
Fluffy Bunnies !

Back to the Future should be on that list.

It should be but they made it before. A redo would be great.
Some other interesting themes
Revenge of the Nerds
Porkys
Jay and Silent Bob
National Lampoon Vacation
Roadhouse
Die Hard
I am also waiting for the first karate themed pin. This weekend I started talking about Kung Fu with non-pinball people and everyone remembers the show fondly. The main show was 3 years in the 70's and they did a reboot in 80's for 4 years.
Then I started reading about the Karate Kid reboot on Pinside, and those that were skeptical became fans. What is better than training for the big match and then facing opponents on the way to the top. That is basically the theme on CP anyways, substitute martial arts for boxing and you have a winner. Vaguely similar to WWE too.
So hoping for Kung Fu or Karate Kid one day soon.

Eight machines listed but only one is legit imo, having sold more than 1000 games - SF2. In early 90's, 5k-10k sales was a good run and SF2 sold a respectable 5.6k games. Time for another martial arts pin .... Kung Fu with Master teaching life lessons to Grasshopper or Karate Kid waxing on and off and battling other dojos ???
Certainly would be a better theme than one based on video game Fortnite. Ask anyone under 18 to name a friend not addicted to playing this game and it could take them awhile. Fortunately few over 25 know what you are talking about and that is your target pinball buyer/player anyways, so while that theme seems good at first it doesn't pan out in long run. Time is ripe for another martial arts pin.
Oh god not Fortnite... the major issue I see with that license is you’d be expecting people obsessed with Fortnite to STOP playing it long enough to play pinball
I really like the Flying Circus idea - so many things to work with! Holy Grail in and of itself could support an entire game! (See MM
That’s a license that continues to be popular with high school and college kids all over

Monty Python would be epic. Lots of animation and funny bits. I'd buy site unseen.

I'd like to know who the manufacturer was. AP, uh, maybe. JJP? YES! Save your bitcoin!

Holy Grail was going to be my Spooky game #2 at one point. Was even prototyping a Knight toy whose legs and arms came off.
But it didn't come to fruition.
Quoted from benheck:fruition
So a game totally about fruit !!
It so worked for slot machines...

Sad that didn't happen, I envision Zombie Yetti artwork with gorgeous powdercoat in blue...no, I mean Yellooooooo
A WW2 original theme would be pretty slick. The allies taking out the axis of evil in a patriotic showdown.

IMDN has some WW2 references

That pin would be awesome , especially in todays oh so volatile atmosphere ( if you know what I mean) wink wink say no more!!!
Quoted from LTG:Railroad Tycoon !

Transport Tycoon We can do more then just trains.
Quoted from Rferullo:I think AP should do a Grateful Dead theme pin! Instead of tilt - you overdose!
But seriously - they deserve a machine.
I've heard GD is an expensive license
I'd like some adult swim series candidates: someone mentioned Rick and Morty, I like Detective Archer too.
Everyone says the crappy South Park pin still earns well on site, we're are past due for another one that takes advantage of all the new material that's come out since then. Oh and one that's actually fun for pinheads, well designed with modern toys and display! Butters wasn't even a character on the current game, think of how much content that brings alone. I'd think it would sell well to operators as well as collectors.

It's to bad that comedy central made them censor the game.
Quoted from Yelobird:More
Forgot a few on my wish list...
Strange Brew
Blazing Saddles
The Banana Spliz
One last favorite for my list!
The Monkeys!
Quoted from LTG:Cowsills

They'll be ga ga at the go go when they see LTG in his toga
Halloween
We have a new movie coming in October. John Carpenter back as writer. Jamie lee Curtis wanting to kill Michael.
Time for a Halloween pinball !
LTG : )
Quoted from LTG:John Carpenter back as writer.
Sadly I don't think he is. I mean Danny McBride is though...if that's a good thing?
Quoted from TheLaw:Sadly I don't think he is.
He's in the credits. Along with four others.
