Jersey Jack, 2019
Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory (Standard)
Jersey Jack, 2019WW at TPF. Bank on it. Only rumored license with full assests. TS, wonder if it’ll be like POTC, which has a Disney name with one photo of each character and not much more? Hope not, because TS will be high on my list to buy, if it has some original voice work. Disney is sooooo tight on assets. You’d think they would want a great product. Not saying to give them away.
Having said all that, would rather have a packed play field, than spend on Disney assets.
Quoted from BrewinBombers:You're expecting a March 2019 reveal of JJP Wonka? Wow. That'd be great.
More than a rumor. Heard directly from a birdie that I cannot mention. It will be revealed. Exciting stuff! Finally and a long time coming. POTC was last reveal and that was almost 2 years ago. Finally a table with all the assets to make it great! A month and a half and counting down...
I don't think so. Pretty sure Toy Story is his baby, and it was originally supposed to come out before Willy Wanka.
Quoted from lurch:So... More conjecture for two more months? I will pay someone to sit outside JJP with a camera. I cant take it anymore!
Slugworth?
Pretty sure it’s Pat on WW and it will be released at TPF. Pat likes regular bodies and so does Jack. Weigh less with better ball flow and cheaper to make and ship. TS was going to be first, but since it most likely won’t have full assests like WW, WW will be released first.
1. WOZ - Partial assets - saw Judy sing, but with someone else’s voice for example.
2. Hobbit - full assets and hence version 3.10.
3. Dialed In - original title so full assets. Brilliant game and JJP’s best effort to date.
4. POTC - very limited assets - no original music, voice work, movie clips, etc. only one photo of actors and Disney name with POTC logo. That’s it. Think game would have done better without Disney name and hassle. Generic pirates game and you’d have a winner. Put more of the no license money into game, like make 3 rings work with better material and orders would have been stellar. Lots of people counted on that feature. Many ways to make that work. Make it out of aluminium for example, so no warping. Which is what they were worried about.
5. WW - full assets - should be a big hit.
6. TS - back to partial assets, but no issues with actors faces, just voices. Disney is a tough one to deal with. Will be interesting to see how well it comes out in the asset area.
You can see from the above how JJP has released partial or full assets every other release.

For me, that's a shame if that's true - I was looking forward to another PL machine, but (no pun intended) Wonka has always given me the willies.

Me too. However, WoZ gave me the willies too, until I played it.
Quoted from Capn12:What, we weren't talking about Waterworld pinball this whole time??
yes you know that Jack has a soft spot for slightly classic movies, and something has to turn a profit on Water World

Shoot the deeze bitches!!! I almost bought one of these pins for $900 about 7 years ago

You guys stop it. If you keep it up you're going to jinx the game!
Stern screwed up Star Wars, and I can't have another grail game ruined for me. JJP has to make an amazing TS. They just have to.
Quoted from Coz:So will JJP release back to back pins with Johnny Depp or will it be the original?? Has there been any confirmation?
[quoted image]
Yep, original. Deppwould be a bad choice for sure and kill most all sales. His mug on POTC has hurt sales of that machine (no fault of JJP, as his negative stuff hit after machine release). I know people who were going to buy and then seeing Depp on artwork and after all his negative press as of late, canceled.
Toy Story will be good, coming from JJP. That’s going to be a winner. So many fun things can be done with that. I imagine it as a packed PL table. Just like, but different to Pat’s all time best table Dialed In. Now that’s a dream machine!

Has to be original. It isn’t so much Depp as it is doing a pin based on a classic movie that everyone loves with a timeless performance by Wilder vs. doing a pin based on a movie that got mediocre to bad reviews and which no one has any fond memories of. No brainer. JJPWW based on the original movie would sell like crazy. JJPWW based on the Burton movie would be a dud.

I thought we were talking Whirlwind?

It classic Wonka
Quoted from tacshose:I hope Wonka is a fully loaded wide body because Wonka has so many options to load up with, a true classic
Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it's a standard body designed by Pat.
Edit: To clarify, I'm personally happy that it's a standard body because that's my preference, but I do understand that others feel differently!

LOL How could anyone think that Depp would not be on the POTC art and if he were not people would bitch about that
I never liked anything about Willie Wonka, but to each his own. But something I find interesting - in the casinos, WOZ slots were a huge hit for quite a while, followed by various LOTR themed slots. For about a minute, Willie Wonka slots were out, but not very popular. Anybody else see a pattern here?

Yes. You may be spending too much time in casino's.
I don't think the theme lends itself to a widebody. It needs to be a frenetic wild adventure. Not as much real estate but I trust Pat to crush this game.
"The Willy Wonka of pinball presents Willy Wonka!"*
*You can use that Jack 
Willy Wonka is an A+ theme for me. It's a movie that creeped me out as a kid but was subversively enjoyable in college. The oompa loompa songs alone would almost make me buy the pin. It's a great JJP theme as well, I just wish I didn't have to wait three years to be able to have one. Hopefully worth the wait.
Quoted from valgalder:I'm pretty sure there will be no munchkins anywhere seen in the game due to obvious reasons.. so not sure how the songs will be integrated?
There are no munchkins in either Willy Wonka movie.
What is the average time between an announced pin and when the games begin to ship? Wonka could be epic, looking forward to seeing the final product!
Quoted from Greenandwhite:What is the average time between an announced pin and when the games begin to ship? Wonka could be epic, looking forward to seeing the final product!
Historically JJP pins take a while to ship after their announcements. Usually several months.
Quoted from DeeGor:Historically JJP pins take a while to ship after their announcements. Usually several months.
Don't you mean years? I don't think they've shipped anything after an announcement in under a year.
Quoted from taylor34:Don't you mean years? I don't think they've shipped anything after an announcement in under a year.
My Dialed In shipped about 8 months after the announcement. That's still too long in my book. Hopefully they get better.
Quoted from IdahoRealtor:Willy Wonka was a strange and creepy movie. Are so many of you really hot to trot for a WW pin?
As opposed to another rock band pin or super hero theme? Most definitely

Cause we are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams....
