    We have been patiently waiting to announce our intentions to open the Chicago Pinball Hall of Fame. Our formal announcement will be at Pinball Expo next Thursday at 3:00pm. We will not be giving any details before then but I thought it best to have people there that are interested in learning more. We have been researching possible locations for our privately funded project ever since our planned purchase of the Pinball Hall of Fame in Las Vegas fell through. The details we discuss next week will also be posted on our Facebook page at the end of next week's seminar titled "The Untold Story of The Pinball Company". Hope to see many of you there!

    Quoted from Whysnow:

    cool.
    72 Jetsons games to play

    LOL. Probably not.

    Quoted from Whysnow:

    well give us a little teaster at least...
    how many pins?
    pay to enter or coin drop?
    in actual chicago? or a burb?

    Our plan for Las Vegas was to make it bigger and better - a real Vegas style attraction. Look at our page for Silverball in Columbia, MO to see what we did with our bar. I think you can wait one week for details.

    Quoted from Whysnow:

    so, not really a hall of fame type place and moreso a barcade?

    I was referencing our bar as a hint to the quality of venue. I would not expect bare concrete floors and white walls.

    Still settling back in Missouri and getting caught up. Here are a few comments...

    1) The Chicago Pinball Hall of Fame will be much more representative of the name than what is in Las Vegas
    2) This venture is about exposing people to pinball.
    3) I'd rather be a for profit company that donates profits to charity than pretend to be a nonprofit with restrictions on what you can do and say to promote pinball.

    I think "Pinheads" will love our place.
    We hope non-"Pinheads" will fall in love with pinball because this place exists.

    What's point 2?

    I deleted it.

    2) Chicago Pinball Museum was already taken!

    Quoted from gweempose:

    Where is this going to be located? Woodfield Mall?

    That’s a contender.
