Quoted from blueberryjohnson:From the article:
"the rumor that was submitted today is that a large 1,500 unit order of Twilight Zone ramps was placed in 2022."
Placed with who?
Exactly why this rumor is horse shit!

Quoted from jfh:One question I have is how popular is the theme to newer/younger players?
For most people these days their only experience with Twilight Zone is the Tower of Terror ride at Disney and even that may disappear in the next few years.
We have had a TZ in our collection for the last few years. The younger generation (40 or less) do not go anywhere near it. It is no where near as popular as TAF. Since Wednesday has come out, the younger generation is asking to come over to play TAF.
Quoted from NC_Pin:I’d definitely be keeping mine
Me too. As much as I love the remakes, it is not worth it to me to swap over.
Quoted from Maverick222:I respectfully disagree about the TZ age thing you mentioned…I’m 34 and TZ is one of my favorite tv shows along with many other people around my age range! I completely agree that TAF is probably more popular, but I wouldn’t say it’s so much more popular. TAF does have the upper hand as popularity goes because the movie released while we were growing up and like you mentioned it’s even more popular now with an even younger audience because of the new Wednesday show.
Although, I really do think a TZ remake will have the upper hand sales wise and especially if they release a limited B&W version like the one Great American Pinball made!
That is awesome.. I am only explaining what happens with us and our home collection. If the younger generation love TZ, I think that is great for pinball and its future. My wife and I are pinheads and we like all pinball machines from every era.
Quoted from Maverick222:Same here! Just like you I’m basing it off my own personal experiences so who really knows haha! I do hope my generation and the generations below me continue to love pinball and of course twilight zone! Also thanks for being kind about my response!
All good. We are all her because we love pinball!
Quoted from waletboy:Any new news or is this dead……….
Dead. Another rumor .. more than likely not true.
Quoted from Damonator:I've heard others make this argument, but I don't quite understand it. Pinball machines are hand built by all manufacturers. Every single title requires retooling (ramps, toys, playfields, dimple press, wire harness looms, etc). I don't see how adding a couple of inches to a playfield requires extensive changes otherwise. Spooky just made their first widebody and I didn't hear anything about mass "re-tooling" efforts.
I'm not trying to refute what you are saying, just asking for your perspective.
Talking sense on Pinside will not go over well! People who have no idea what they are talking about can make up plenty of justification for their theories.
It is exactly as you say, quite easy to change over, especially when they have all the tooling already.
Quoted from LTG:Story boards have to be figured out for each step in production and mounted above each assembly station for what goes on or in, in that station. All parts need to be in house. Then parts sorted and placed in appropriate stations.
Then train assembly people for each station.
Run a couple games through to train assemblers and look for errors.
Then start production slowly and ramp up as everything comes together and looks good.
Change any machinery needed for things like drilling holes in the playfield.
Set up an area for sub assemblies, get parts in cue, train assemblers, get racks of those on the assembly line.
Plus a lot of stuff I'm forgetting or don't know.
Yup, pretty easy. They should be able to change over during a coffee break.
Stern took what, 6 weeks to set up a line for MMR. Just got up to speed when the factory moved. And they were back at square one and had to start over. And in that case pretty much had to hire and train a new staff of assemblers, which took another month or so.
Might be easy. For those with the experience. I'll bet it time consuming.
LTG : )
My point is CGC already have the experience and ability to change over if they wanted to. Once you have done something enough times the most difficult process becomes easy. I am sure they would not take something on unless they could do it. I am in manufacturing, I understand the internal issues.
CGC have already said many times... No widebody games.
Quoted from Richard-NBA-SF2:I heard Pinball Brothers is doing a remake and it may be TZ.
Might be at Expo.
Quoted from transprtr4u:they are capable of doing widebodies ... so possible!
thought people had sent TZ games to CGC ??????
It is all BS my Canadian friends.
We are going to find out in the next few weeks!
Quoted from SimplePin:Find out who's making it or find out if it's being made?
Find out it is not being made.
Quoted from PtownPin:The rumor I heard was PPS was on the outs with CGC due to their lack of performance on CCR. I also heard they are looking for an alternate manufacturer for the next remake, which makes perfect sense. Whatever the game is hopefully they find a company that can make a quality product and actually meet schedule.
Never listen to a hater or shitbag, always make your own mind up.
None of that makes sense. Why would PPS change manufacturers?
