I was close to listing this pin for sale because I need space and it could fetch more coin than others I own. But I fired it up yesterday after about a month of non play. Holy cow! This pin is such a joy. I had it set steeper than before. The stacking of modes, multiball, combos and seance felt great. The chance to come back from the dead, the magnets, and the straight jacket inverted. I can't wait to get deeper into the code.

One thing I noticed and I'm wondering if it's a code or switch problem? When the hat mystery award is lit and I'm one letter away from spelling 'escape' and the ball falls into the mystery hole spotting an 'escape' letter. I'm getting the call out that the jail is now ready, then it goes to mystery award and if I double flip to skip the animation it then immediately starts a jail escape. So, it falls into the hole qualifying it and starting it? That can't be right. I'm pretty sure if I don't double flip to skip the mystery then it won't auto start jail escape. Anyone think I may have a switch issue in the subway? Or is this a code bug?

Quoted from rosh:

No you should not get to start it as well. So either, you got the last letter off a target before it fell in to the hole (fairly common), or possibly that got inadvertently changed in the last release with all of the work to improve the game flow in places like that magic shop/jail escape hole. I'll have to investigate.

It could be that the last letter was collected just before entering. I'll keep a really close eye on it.
Another thing I noticed was I would get another skill shot opportunity if the ball falls back in the shooter lane. Not sure if by design.

Quoted from RipleYYY:

i confirm the prob Josh, just get it few minutes ago (while paying attention) :
got 5 ESCAPE letters, ball goes in upper hole, it gives me the last letter, get the scene saying the jail was than ready, get the MYSTERY sequence, and than get the jail escape starting, while ball came back from the scoop

Do you know if you skipped the hat animation with double flip? I'm going to recreate with and without skipping the animation.
