Quoted from Viggin900:

Is the right outlane a ball sucker or maybe the one I played? Do owners feel the same way that its seems a bit unbalanced and thats how it is? I mean it was laughable.

Just the one you played, maybe they opened up the lane? I've found it pretty fair with long ball times, but we did hear complaining the the LEFT outlane was a total drain monster before

#1402 4 years ago
Quoted from Viggin900:

Finally got a chance to play a pro version yesterday. Very fun game except for one thing. Is the right outlane a ball sucker or maybe the one I played? Do owners feel the same way that its seems a bit unbalanced and thats how it is? I mean it was laughable.

Agree with Thelaw. If anything, the left side is a bit greedy.

#1403 4 years ago

Ok, thats very surprising to hear. Hardly anything went to the left? Thanks

#1404 4 years ago
Quoted from tonedef131:

I'm thinking about looking for a similar post with a threaded base long enough it can go all the way though the playfield nut and then can have a jam nut threaded onto it from below.

Someone earlier posted about doing this. Problem is that the flipper plate sits over where the nut would go. He ground the flipper plate back a bit to accommodate the nut. Someone else said they rotated the whole plate over so the nut was clear of the plate. Either way, I’m assuming the combination of the nut and the locktite will hold that rock solid.

Personally I’m hoping/assuming Stern will address this in production before the LE/Premium’s are manufactured- they must be aware it’s a problem area. sk8ball ????

Quoted from ectobar:

Keith responded to me about it on Tilt, but he was wearing his Stern employee hat. The response was green or orange should be fine.
I have gotten an orange one but haven't swapped it out yet

In fairness, that was literally his response... green or orange should be fine. His answer didn't really ring of corporate-speak to me. I could have been misreading though

#1408 4 years ago

I f%*king love this game. So many different strategic pathways, great shots, goals to achieve, world under glass, animations, ruleset. That’s all I had to say.

#1409 4 years ago
Quoted from wlf_:

In fairness, that was literally his response... green or orange should be fine. His answer didn't really ring of corporate-speak to me. I could have been misreading though

My comment was mostly in jest. As it seems most of the games are coming with green but the manual says orange, I'm sure this place would have lost their shit if he came out and said orange.

What great timing! I'm starting up Jurassic Park Pinball stream right now! - https://twitch.tv/owlnonymous

Hey are there many people out there who had the raptor gate snap? I brought it up with stern today and they said nothing is being revised with the design of the gate at this time.

#1415 4 years ago

.88 installed

Nice - the lock down button can now be turned off to disable starting games that way. Big bellies or big boobs will no longer start games accidentally with the setting set to No.

It hit over $1000 on location so far at 75 cents a play. My current top earner on location.

Pretty sure I’m right around $100

Excited to install the new code!

#1420 4 years ago

Is it just me or did chaos multiball get notched down to 3 to start? I swear with .87 it was a 6 ball multiball to start. Maybe i just had excessive pop action before?

I did that chopper ride back in 96! Went over the Kauai Grand Canyon! And then up to the wettest point (highest rainfall) on earth where the mountains disappeared into the clouds. We hovered there for a while. It was the most awesome and beautiful thing I have ever seen! ..

i believe its always been 3 with add-a-ball on the supply drop and pop bumper hits. pretty easy to get it up to 6 quickly.

When LEs start arriving I'll be curious to see if they did anything to lock down the upper flipper post.

We went on same path... it was Awesome

#1431 4 years ago

>>>All Modes - allow both flipper skip of all mode intros that hold the ball

This was EASILY the best thing about this latest update! Was able to "skip through" a bunch of video intros (including every paddock explanation) which made the game much faster to play. I also got my best score (519M) but not sure if that's related.

Also, it FEELS LIKE they got rid of some of the most annoying "Nedry" call-outs, but not sure about that. Maybe I was just skippin' through them...lol

#1432 4 years ago

I’m totally in love with this pin. The more I play, the better it flows. The update is great, fixes the few annoying callouts and has a much faster bonus countdown. The risk-reward aspect is fantastic. I always go for a few ramps before starting T-Rex MB. There are a lot of games where I leave Chaos and/or Raptor MB on the table, but it’s worth it when I have that 1 game where it all comes together.

#1433 4 years ago

There be raptors here!

That’s so funny, before I even saw this post I was going to ask you this. I’m still thinking of pushing out my JM to make room for IMDN.

I'm a big fan of JM but make room for Maiden. Unless u haven't reached power down and if not then I guess you better get to work.

Love It!

Agreed! Very addictive game. Your mention of the data east JP made me think of some of the folks who have rated the stern JP at like 5.5. I realize enjoyment is a subjective thing, but 5.5....... come on guys.... stop hating just to hate. The Stern JP is a great game, regardless of how fond one may be of the data east version.

#1439 4 years ago

The Data East JP game is TERRIBLE. I’ve tried multiple times to get into it and just can’t do it.

#1440 4 years ago

..and keep the coil stops from imploding immediately.

#1441 4 years ago

Tilt Pinball Bar in Minneapolis was supposed to get a JP LE for today's launch party.

They got a 2nd pro. Playfield looks nice so far, washers under the posts. First pro they have does have some pooling, but this second one is looking good as of now.

Seems like LEs may actually be getting delayed a bit?! Possibly a good thing if so.

Are they making the production run of LE's before the Premium, sorry noob to the hobby not sure of Stern's production order...

#1445 4 years ago
Quoted from fooflighter:

Yes, I believe its pros first, then LE, then lastly Premiums.

Quoted from davijc02:

Agreed, I bought a restored one earlier this year and it didn't last two weeks. I was very disappointed, the kids loved the T-Rex though. I can't wait for my Premium to get here.

#1448 4 years ago

Well, I just replaced my coil stops after 100 games. Stern really needs to go back to their old stops. I had new stops ready to put in, so I didn't think it would take long. However, Stern is using galvanized screws now. So one of the screws stripped when I tried to put it back together. The fix took 3X's as long as it should have. I'm worried that the screws are going to seize to other metals & brackets in the future.
I'm a Stern fan, I'm bring this up for future preparation of education. I wonder if the Prem and Le's have upgraded screws and stops.

#1449 4 years ago
Quoted from Da-Shaker:

I wonder if the Prem and Le's have upgraded screws and stops.

I wouldn’t think so. They are all the same as far as i know.

#1450 4 years ago

Does anyone elses speaker on the bottom sound blown? Mine sounds crackly like a blown speaker sometimes during some sounds. But its not constant. Wondering if its a speaker issue or just a really bad sound clip.
