Has anyone heard the latest and greatest, or even rumors, on this next masterpiece? I find it nuts that there are no teasers for JJPs next baby yet. I may actually use this rare opportunity to snag my first NIB. I will have to donate a kidney for the extra cash but it is a win-win. Make some money and get drunk faster (I have a hearty tolerance).
In all seriousness, has anyone heard anything juicy about this release?
Here's what we have so far (not much):
-Original theme (idea for the theme came from Pat Lawlor)
-Has upper right flipper
-Is being developed in Pat's own workshop.
-Pat has been on board with Jersey Jack Pinball since October 2013, game announced January 2014, flipping whitewood exists.
-Programmers: Ted Estes, Keith Johnson
-Artwork: John Youssi
-Mechanical Designer: John Krutsch
-Sound: David Thiel
-Engineering: Eric Muenier
My (somewhat hopeful) prediction is: no pre-order, reveal at Expo this year, shipping soon after.
I have high hopes for this game and cannot wait until it's all revealed. I really enjoy Pat's games and would love to add one more to the collection. I do not see this game being released in 2015 though. I see this as a 2016 release, but we will see. Hmmmmm what could the theme be?
Kind of old but some maybe interested....

Quoted from Kineticross:It's confirmed that it's going to be a disaster theme (ie. Earthshaker, Whirlwind)
I've been following this one and haven't seen any confirmation of this.

Where was that confirmed? Wasn't my understanding.

Confirmed?
It's confirmed pinball buying is back to normal - realease information on the machine when it is ready to be purchased, with the ability to play it before money is handed over. Retro is so much fun.
I keep wondering what the forums would be like if they existed when TZ or Adams was released? Pure adoration, or endless complaints on what could have been done better?
Good luck with the game Pat and JJP.
By all accounts the latest Royal Rumble was a disaster--would that count?
What, wait a minute--does Stern already have that one covered...
maybe a blizzard disaster pin? chris christie multichin multiball to clear the snow in jersey? or is that chin for jerry jones? for real though, cant wait to see what the next lawlor pin is 
Should it ever get made, yes, I think it will be a blizzard theme.
Whiteout would be the title.
It's an innocuous enough disaster. Something like Tsunami or Hurricane is probably off the table in light of decade or less old events. And snow seems to be more in line with the other two games, with tons of lighthearted possibilities.
edit to add: the aforementioned Volcano could work as well

That's a great point, depending on the type of disastor it could rub some folks the wrong way.

Stern has never and will never go more then three years with out taking a dump.
Quoted from mattster:Jack mentioned in the JJP group that even if he told us the title of the game we wouldn't be able to deduce the theme.
That's very interesting information. 
You're an evil scientist and you push various red buttons for different doomsday catastrophes- blizzards, tornadoes, nukes, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, etc.
It will be either the culmination to the disaster series or the culmination of the heads.
I expect it to be the capstone to Pat's entire career of designing. I spoke to him at expo 2013 (before he was on board with JJP) and he gave me some hints at that time what his next title would be and told me it would be his best pin ever. IDKWBIBH!
The team they have assemble plus being #3 (i.e. experience and improvements from #1 and #2 already in the books) is a greta thing IMO.
I REALLY HOPE it is a no preorder model and they announce and deliver within 1 month post announcement. Fully built, Fully coded, and ready for delivery shorthly after announcement woudl be a GREAT thing for pinball, a first in many years, and honestly something that may actually justify the crazy pricetag on some of these highend new games.
Would be great if they had a couple hundred ready to go. Even better, can you imagine the splash when they show up to expo 2015 with 3 semi trailers full, announce and take 'preorder' cash. After you pay, they walk you outside and you take your freshly built NIB game off the truck! Man, I know I am dreaming but that would be spectaculor.
Quoted from Kineticross:It's confirmed that it's going to be a disaster theme (ie. Earthshaker, Whirlwind)
The true Lawlor "disaster theme" was Roller Coaster Tycoon.
Quoted from Whysnow:It will be either the culmination to the disaster series or the culmination of the heads.
Why not both?
IDKWBIBH! - Haven't a clue - can you expand?

At least you're honest with yourself!
If that happens I'll walk out to the semi with you.

Leave Roller Coaster Tycoon alone it is a fun game.
Quoted from Whysnow:It will be either the culmination to the disaster series or the culmination of the heads.
Man I really hope not. Time to move on already. Let the man do something new.
Quoted from solarvalue:Here's what we have so far (not much):
-Programmers: Ted Estes, Keith Johnson
Are you sure Keith Johnson is involved? The rumor I heard was that Pat was working exclusively with Ted Estes since Keith is busy working on the Hobbit.
Quoted from Aurich:something new
Agree! something new leave the classics as they are
Quoted from dendoc:I keep wondering what the forums would be like if they existed when TZ or Adams was released? Pure adoration, or endless complaints on what could have been done better?
Well, they did, sort of.
An announcement from Nov.20th, 1991, which is a few months before the March 1992 release:

Yeah, I don't care for the heada at all, but would absolutely love a good armagedon pin with ALL the major disasters rolled into one.
End of the world complete shaos type scenario with great art from one of the best pinball artists EVER!
Quoted from Whysnow:culmination of the heads.
This sounds terrible... Lol

Thank you for posting these. I didn't know RGP was around back then!
If they follow their pricing pattern and price it at $8995 it won't matter what the game is. Game prices have gotten insane and will only drop if people stop buying them.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:Whiteout would be the title.
Pictured added of main playfield toy:
I truly hope it will be Family Funhouse Frenzy!
Not one, not two, but THREE heads! Meet Rudy's new family and their crazy personalized rides. Rudy himself would be a bigger jerk, and his insults would be raunchier and funnier than ever! (Audit settings would be wise for younger settings). I'd hope Ed Boon returns to do the voices.
Quoted from Chitownpinball:WE WANT INFO! WE WANT INFO!
Did you listen to the presentation at Expo that is available on Pinball News? Not a ton of INFO, but it was interesting to hear them discuss a bit about the title. Including the fact that The Hobbit is so stuffed that there is no room for more... so there will be a virtual component to the game.
(that was my interpretation of that part of the presentation)
Quoted from urbanledge:The dialed in theme sounds good to me!
I wonder is it going to hit the 10k mark.
What Dialed in theme?
I have heard something very similar from someone but cannot find any info online about it.
Your post is the only reference to it
