Told you before no one gives a shit aboot that dump Disneyland, only Disneyworld. So if it's world I'm in for that.
EDIT: No Chili Pepper shit music anywhere near whatever theme though.
EDIT2: And I want ALL the damn rides. Mr Toad, Skyway, 20K leagues (Yes yes I know it never worked(
Legoland is a fantastic untapped theme...and it crosses over into video gaming as well. Pinballs core 40-something demographic on down all grew up with Lego, and it's still among the most popular toy in history.
Screw RHCP, I want a Faith No More pin. Mike Patton has more talent in his little finger than that whole naked gimmick band does
Quoted from o-din:Love me some Legoland! Most relaxing day spent of them all.
I knew I should have bought my baby daughter that $1000 lifetime pass when the one in Carlsbad opened up.
The cool thing about Lego, is that if you do the first one well and it sells... Next you can do a Castle theme, City, Star Wars, etc. Tons of opportunities with that franchise, and a quite broad appeal.

Or in my house, in my car.....can't stand Red Hot Chili Peppers.
I don't need a music machine, but I'm also a fan of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. By The Way is a good go to album.
Quoted from o-din:But then you don't get this or Mr Toad.
Or Indiana Jones, or the GOOD Pirates Of The Caribbean.
I do love the custom songs for Alice Cooper. I like them quite a bit more then any of his actual songs. If I were to ever replace the songs in my Metallica, I'd try to find some instrumental backgrounds (like those). Would be really cool if those songs could have some elements from the original songs they are replacing. Probably going to start looking up various Metallica tributes.
Quoted from dsuperbee:Or Indiana Jones, or the GOOD Pirates Of The Caribbean.
Yep. Gotta go with Disneyland over DW.
It could be like an evolution of Comet & Cyclone. Visit different parts of the park. Ride the main rides. Sculpts for Matterhorn, the castle, etc. Why not?
Chili Peppers all the way!! It would be nice to see a game based off of a band that's still semi relevant..
Quoted from o-din:80 million albums sold says they are more than just some gimmick band.
And the latest one made it's debut at #1 in ten different countries and has already gone platinum tells me they are more than still relevant.
Iron Maiden has sold 100 million albums and their last album topped the charts in 24 countries.
Why are Iron Maiden irrelevant yet a band like RHCP who have churned out radio friendly mainstream garbage for the last 25 years make a great theme for pinball?
I see their careers very similar to that of Metallica. They were great for the first 4 or 5 albums and then 20+ years of mediocrity.
Quoted from JodyG:The cool thing about Lego, is that if you do the first one well and it sells... Next you can do a Castle theme, City, Star Wars, etc. Tons of opportunities with that franchise, and a quite broad appeal.
Make a component out of Lego Bricks and give the buyer the option to build several different variations or layouts from the same parts the way the kits do. Opens one "theme" up to a larger audience.
Quoted from o-din:Funny, I didn't care or know when Iron Maiden released a new album
Fair enough but the same thing could be said about the last half dozen RHCP albums.
Quoted from o-din:I still rue the day they yanked out my favorite attraction and replaced it with Small World.
You were probably one of those kids that was always rear ending the person in front of you. . . 
This. I love Disney World 
. I even got married there.

A wise man once said, “ Never talk politics, religion or the relevance or irrelevance of someone’s musical taste among friends!”
Quoted from o-din:Heck, the two top pinball producing companies are already in bed with Disney, license wise.
And Disneyland even sometimes has some of those games to play. I've seen TronLE, POTC, and even Indiana Jones there among others.
I never knew Disneyland had pinball machines.
Quoted from AVH7401:I never knew Disneyland had pinball machines.
Back in the 80s, they had three of the best arcades on the west coast.
Today....not so much. It is too bad they sold off all of the cool EM games and light gun games.
We are big Disneyworld fans. Honeymooned there 11 years ago and We have Annual Passes. There are a lot of pinball machines at the Disney resorts. I play a lot when my girls are taking a nap during the day. There used to be several in the arcade at Space Mountain but they got rid of the arcade.
I put some serious time into a Tron and Pirates of the Caribean one year we stayed for 2 weeks at the Caribbean Beach Resort.
I saw in some new YouTube videos that they have Star Wars at the resorts now, couldn't tell if it was the pro or premium.
Pretty sure I'm going to be playing one within a few hours of checking in.
The real fun part is the replay levels are usually set so low I get a free game at least every other game so I can play quite a bit for very cheap.
They used to have a lot in downtown Disney at DisneyQuest but that has been closed and since it was all on freeplay they were real beat up. Most of them at the resorts are in pretty good shape. One had some issues one year so the first day I told them about it and someone came out and fixed it right up.
I would love a Disney World pinball, so much potential there.
One of the reasons my first pinball was Comet is my family loves the theme park theme.
Quoted from o-din:A few sort years ago they had an entire re-creation of Flynn's arcade in Ca. Adventure complete with many early video games and last I remember a Whirlwind I played there. All one quarter a play.
The custom Indiana Jones game with the wood trim may still be there or not, but it is pinside famous.
Still there. It goes away from time to time for upkeep/shop job, but it's there.
Quoted from dsuperbee:Still there. It goes away from time to time for upkeep/shop job, but it's there.
Confirmed as of April anyway...

I really liked the old Main Street penny arcade back in the day. They didn't have any flipper pinball games, but there were a couple of bingos. I usually played the pitch and bats as they had several and a couple real cool old school ones.
I think there was another arcade by Bear Country with pinball and of course the Space Mountain arcade in the 70s and 80s. Most recently there is still a smaller arcade outside Space Mountain that had POTC, TronLE, and a Cyclone at various times.
I really miss the old ray o lite gun games that were in one of the frontierland shops. Still kicking myself for passing on a complete working unit for 300 bucks a few years back.
The arcade in Bear Country was called Teddy Barra's Swingin Arcade. They had newer pins there, and custom modified mannequin games there as well.
Sure do miss those.
