    Quoted from acdc_fan:

    rviguet you hit the nail on the head!
    Pinplayer1967 A lot of the guests I see are people who come year after year or multiple times a year. So they know how to do the parks and how to rest so to speak. Here at the Contemporary we have Chef Mickey's which is a character dining experience. So we see transient guests waiting for dinner so they pop in to pass the time. There are also "locals" who live here that pop in and out from time to time when the hit the parks. When the Contemporary Arcade was in it's original location it was an attraction of it's own. It was pretty much the biggest arcade in the area so lots of locals would hang out there on the weekends not to mention the guests staying here who knew about it. Plus it was open 24 hours! It was close to 4000 sq ft. It held at one point 200 games including a giant shooting gallery half the size to the one in Frontier land. Now we're literally a hole in the wall just a small game room with 78 games four of them being pins.

    Hey acdc_fan, I live in north Orlando and had heard the Disney pinballs were all in bad shape. Which, if any of the arcades are worth visiting for pinball? Do you have to pay for parking or is it free? Thanks for the inside information!

    Well right now the Contemporary has 4 pins all the other resort arcades just have Tron... Ours are a little worn for wear...waiting on parts...and with the techs being busy moving games around it will be a bit before they get their proper tlc..... so right now it's not worth a trip unless you are really bored. Tron and Avengers are playable just a wee bit dirty. You can usually park at most resorts for free...Tell 'em you're going to the arcade or picking up a cast member...

    Quoted from Methos:

    Played the 4 games at the Contemporary a few days ago. All the games were beat up and appear to have not been cleaned in some time. Elvis's upper flipper is removed and there is a rubber over the area preventing the ball from getting trapped. The POTC and Tron are pretty beat up. The Avengers wasn't too bad, but again - not much fun. What was interesting is as we were playing the pins were damn near played by 30 different people in the couse of an hour. I bet they get alot of play on a daily basis.

    Yeah the pins are beat up. They do get a lot of play... Waiting on parts as usual. Elvis had to have a flipper-ecotomy in order to save it, it's a whole cost of repair justification (you're one of the few who noticed the missing flipper). I'm hoping we get a couple more pins now that we will have the room. It's just a waiting game now. Now at DQ those pins go through a years worth of play in a matter of weeks...the techs just can't keep up.
