Wow- Stern upped their game with Iron Maiden (at least from a distance) , gives me great hope and confidence in Deadpool, even if it is comic based

Quoted from PinballManiac40:A friend of mine caught Borg at TPF. Borg told him his next game is in September and said he feels it is his best game yet.
That's great since usually they say something like: "Man that's some ugly piece of shit I made you'll all gobble up."
After the Iron Maiden reveal, I'm really (cautiously) optimistic. Iron Maiden looked AMAZING to me, but I already have Metallica and don't want a second music pin. Plus, I love most of Metallica's music; I'm just warm on Iron Maiden.
But Deadpool is a theme I would really, really love. I'm hoping the playfield is as interesting, the game is equally as filled with nice "stuff", and the demo rules are as good as Iron Maiden's demo rules were. I'd love for it to be a homerun and go in on a Premium.
Pertinent perhaps

Well, Iron Maiden is officially announced. We know Borg is not doing Deadpool but has a game coming in September.
So...do we have five months before the next new title is announced from Stern with Deadpool coming after that or will Deadpool be released somewhere in the middle (like June)? Perhaps Borg’s game gets pushed back to later in the fall and Deadpool comes out in July/August.
When did GOTG start shipping?

What is Borg doing that would be released this year? Elvira?
Quoted from TheLaw:Maybe Kiss 3? Or Metallica 3?
Just as long as it is not another copied playfield layout with Lonnie doing code.

IIRC, GOTG was announced on October 30th, 2017.
Quoted from DCFAN:What is Borg doing that would be released this year? Elvira?
Dennis Nordman did Elvira 3 quite some time ago.
Gomez said at TPF that Elvira was in the bag, but they haven't assigned anyone to program it yet. Gomez confirmed it would be made. Sounds like a 2019 release.
If Iron Maiden sells huge delays in the following titles are a possibility. They likely won’t launch a new game when the line is super busy with backorders.

Agreed. I'm still struggling to see how they will do 3 cornerstone games this year, with Maiden not even announced until the very end of March.
In the last few years, whenever they've had 3 cornerstone titles, they first game has always been announced in Jan/Feb.

Well for a lot of that time they were also busy with quality control from the ghosting stuff and still did 3 cornerstones, right? Spike2 is firmly in place and humming, sure a node board or two has failed here and there but they’re a well-oiled machine and I have confidence 3 will come in ‘18. They’ve also expanded teams: Zach, Keith, more support programmers.

I'm going back till 2012 with this example...long before ghosting.
There's a pattern. Early cornerstone release means #2 in the summer, and #3 at the end of the year.
A Spring release means #2 is in the fall and no #3.
2012 AC/DC, X-Men, Avengers
2013 Metallica and Star Trek
2014 Mustang and Walking Dead
2015 WWE, KISS, GOT
2016 Ghostbusters, Batman '66
2017 Areosmith, Star Wars, GOTG
Not saying they won't, just saying there has been a pattern last few years.
This Week in Pinball (http://thisweekinpinball.com/twip-iron-maiden-stream-mgc-preview-new-podcasts-deadpool-speculation-trudeau-update-more/) had an interesting tidbit about Deadpool today. Some are saying two left ramps, upper playfield, and a third flipper but that does not match the other info that TWIP has.

Quoted from NimblePin:As a Deadpool fan, the only designer I’d want in charge of this game (other than KM(F!)E,) is the man with the most excellent pin-plans, Brian Eddy.
Eddy's first game for Stern won't be till 2019.

Iron Maiden is OLD news. Bring on Deadpool !! It has been a while since we have seen a superhero themed Stern game.

All we can see is this topic trying to wish this machine into existence...

Why? Any one of our designers are quite capable of doing a job on any particular game in production or planned title.

No wishing needed. Gomez design team and Yeti on art.

You said the same about Iron Maiden and look what happened!
Movie met my impossible expectations.
Harmless spoiler, once the vertical black white credits start scrolling it’s safe to leave, no teaser after. Serious.
More excited than ever for pin, regardless of movie/comic.
Just to be clear, there are two after credits sequences. One after the animated/hand drawn credits and one part way through the black credits. Then there is some audio awesomeness worth listening to during the very end of the end credits. By the way, STAY FOR THE END CREDITS SCENES...ALL OF THEM. THEY ARE THE GREATEST AFTER CREDITS SCENES IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE!!!!!!

Now you have me wondering about reality. 
I could have sworn that once the black white vertical scroll starts that there is no more footage. Yes the pre black white credits are awesome, including the drawings themselves.
Wagga Wagga
Quoted from Shapeshifter:You said the same about Iron Maiden and look what happened!
Wakky is just a big softie who wants us all to be surprised like a kid on Christmas. Like when you found that bike hidden in the garage, but your parents swore that you weren't getting a bike from Santa.
I hope this is not the design. The pops are too closed off. I like the left ramp shot and drops. Maybe if the drops open a shot to the pops.

Can’t decide if I should buy B66 or wait for the Deadpool announcement. It’s a shame that Lyman isn’t on code - his rule sets are great for longevity at home. Never read a Deadpool comic but loved the first movie and looking forward to catching the second. If Ryan Reynolds was doing voice work I’d find it hard to resist.
Quoted from solarvalue:Anyone posted this yet?
THX for the picture, now we know its a George Gomez design. It just can be great. (Its my favorite designer)
Did someone notice those two ramps used in this whitewood are exactly the same as the right ramp used in BM66 
Wow that is an odd upper left ramp placement. It will be interesting to see how this has been developed as this is a very early whitewood and perhaps some shots have been changed. Love the idea that the pin is based on the comics.
Characters on the backpanel like Avengers. Looks like a lock above the shooter lane like Avengers. I see the George Gomez influence. Hope to see this in the fall!
Quoted from ZMeny:I just don’t understand the right orbit
The inner right orbit caught my eye. I doubt even a clean shot would make it up the ramp... it would need some type of accelerator. Magnets maybe?
Looking at the pic again, isn't this the same or similar ramp as Avengers? Avengers had this back ramp that was fed by the left loop. Looks like this one uses the middle loop to feed it the same way.
Quoted from MadPole:The inner right orbit caught my eye. I doubt even a clean shot would make it up the ramp... it would need some type of accelerator. Magnets maybe?

That ramp angle looks tame as hell. I bet it can make it.

I’m talking about the far right orbit. Is it an orbit or does it just smack the side rail and wobble to back of playfield?
