You better hold on... I went there 2 weeks ago on Saturday night and the room the pins were in (upstairs) was closed to the public! Generally, they reserve this room for parties and what not. I talked to the manager, and he said Sat. nights have been reserveed for the next 2 months!
I bitched and complained and told him it was bullshit that they limit pin use to the ones whom reserved that party. At least have duplicate pins down stairs! I bitched and moaned enough to get $100 of free gamer cards... Still need to complain to corporate..
So, if you haven't gone yet; you better call first!
Quoted from Schusler:I bitched and complained and told him it was bullshit that they limit pin use to the ones whom reserved that party.
I agree with you 100%. If I drove all the way out there and that room was closed for a private party, I would have been pretty upset as well. I sure hope DP saw this on time and at least called before heading out there. He lives closer to Schaumburg than me, but it's still a schlep from Elmwood Park.
unfortunately this happens everywhere. I've gone to dave n busters and they go "sorry, the whole building is reserved for a private party". I've also heard corporations renting out entire chunks of disneyworld, and they have to tell people to leave.
Here right now and the pinball room is open! Current lineup is Family Guy, Iron Man, 24,Sopranos and Transformers which I'm lovin right now!!!

Awesome! Tron was there as well, no?
Quoted from ARTMAN:Heard that Tron, TRS, and Avatar have all been removed for some reason.
Hmmmmm, wonder what's the reason them being pulled???
I wish Tron was out! Love that pin! You wouldn't believe how many people have walked away from free games tonight my wife and I have gotten at least 10 free games that way!

I've never seen that any of the handful of times I've been to DW but if it does this January, the poop is gonna hit the fan.
Transformers Review:
Im gonna use a scale of 1 to 10 for the main parts/aspects of the game then write a brief summary after that.
Backglass: 8/10 Looked cool but I think it could have been better
Cabinet: 7/10 This was the standard "pro" version I believe but I liked the look of it
Playfield: 10/10 This was the best part of the machine IMO. 2 cool ramps, a few good skill shots and some pretty cool toys populating the playfield
PF Art: 9/10 Im not a big fan of Stern's PF art but TF look pretty cool and I would think that the LE's is gonna look even better
DMD: 10/10 Probably the best looking DMD scenes Ive ever seen
Overall: 8.5/10
So all in all I was very impressed with TF. If it wasnt so god damn expensive I would be ordering one. Nice flow, fast but not too fast and just an all around fun game. If I was a bigger Transformers fan I would probably say screw it and get one. Out of the 5 games they had there I played TF the most and for some reason people kept leaving free games on the machine! I mean the loud ass knock isnt enough to let you know you got a free game??? lol whatever there loss is my gain I guess. I got to play about 15-20 games on it so I think I got a good feel for the machine.
