For tower shot, check to see if screws in the lane are making contact with the ball. If they aren't making contact, then check for ball hop as the ball transitions from the right orbit ball guide onto the upper flipper. It's pretty common that the end of that guide needs to be pushed out a bit and retightened so the ball transitions smoothly onto the flipper instead of hitting the back of the bat and hopping away from it so that the ball is not on the face of the bat when you flip. That can make a difference on how smoothly the tower shoots.

Note that the lower left bat also frequently has ball hop, so that guide may need to be nudged up and retightened occasionally also. On mine I notice it when I need to make adjustments to those two spots again because the shots start to get just a bit less smooth. It's amazing how much of a difference it makes when I adjust it again. Goes right back to being super smooth.

In general for this machine, to get shots dialed in I suggest trying different combinations of flipper power and pitch until you get to a spot you like for all the shots. Between eliminating ball hop and adjusting flipper power & pitch you should be able to get it shooting smooth. Unless there's something going on like the screws contacting the ball in the tower lane.

I notice the flipper hop a lot on the lower right flipper when I changed from standard rubbers to super bands, I switch back and that helped I haven’t tried to adjust the ball guide though.
It made the left ramp shot very inconsistent

What this guy said about the ball guide that leads to that upper flipper. Also i think my flipper power is around 220 for that one. Its butter. Also check the pitch of your game.

Just joined the club with a pro. Loving it so far. Trying to install movie code however when I use windisk manager I keep getting an error. I’m not a computer guy if anyone would be so kind to help I would appreciate it

Well for one 1.07 is not the "movie code".....

You should try to find the 1.05 movie code which will have a RAW file extension. Then you can write it to the sdcard. The 1.07 SPK is the latest Stern factory code ready to be dropped on a USB stick and then upgraded.

Dang I will try to find it. Seems secretive and hard to get

Got an LE today!!!!

I had a premium. Is the LE T-Rex supposed to be green? My Premium T-Rex is brown.

Thanks! I'm excited!!

I just installed Cliffy’s ramp replacements, and my goodness I’m hitting that tower shot like it’s the left ramp. Highly recommend this mod.

Pretty sure they were all green to begin with then they run out and started to use brown. Green for the win! Welcome to the LE club! Best pin ever!

Sending you the link you need for the movie code. Edit, message me, I am out of my 15 daily messages I can create on Pinside mail. I can reply to every message via my email though.

Anyone else needing it can message me. Code thread is here.

Highly recommended. Noticed a difference on both ramps.

+3 on the Cliffy carbon flaps. Night and day on my Prem.

Is Cliffy still making the kit for JP? I’ve emailed twice for one and never heard back. It’s been months so it’s not a timing thing…

Yes, but apparently his is way behind on orders.

I just ordered the carbon ramp ones and he got my order to me really quick, not sure about the other metal ones didn’t feel as those were needed

Hmm maybe I didn’t say the magic code words or something

I heard from him over the weekend. He has a huge volume of orders these days, and while he stocks a ton of the stuff in his shop, he doesn't have everything all the time. This is his MAIN business, not a side gig, so if it's been months, just drop him another note to make sure it didn't get lost. Also, check your email address for him: [email protected]

Order the set.... so nice. And extra protection

Probably because the creator didn't want it in open circulation. All in the dedicated thread (now closed)

There's a couple of other threads that will help you if you search..

Had the most epic game practicing deathsaves..
3 ball, factory settings and mode timers.

Nice visitor center bonus!

Movie code is freely available here. No secrets, just email me asking for the link to the game model you have.

but you know its an illegal move ?

that's ok, i'll never play in a tournament. game is still set to 2 tilt warnings!

can you order just the carbon ramp protectors ?

Yup sure can just request then he should be able to send you an invoice for just what you need/want.

Having a weird issue on my “C” shot when the computer modes are lit. I shoot the shot, the game holds the ball as it should but it automatically chooses the computer mode for me without letting me choose. Happens about 1 out of every 5 times.

Any ideas?

It picks a mode of you happen to get a danger as you go into control room, other than that maybe the action button is sticking? I’d start there

As mentioned above check the lockbar button. Likely stuck on. I’ve had that happen to me.

yep, was joking, its your pin, your home...

Is there any top 5/10 lists of mods? I have a premium coming in June and while I have cared very little to mod my godzilla I want to do as much on my JP as it is by far my favorite movie of all time.

Depends on what you care about.

I have so far added a topper, changed the translite, added a shaker (must), custom start button, upgraded speakers and added LED speakers. I haven't done anything under the glass.. I may still do that but the cabinet and speakers were my priority.

My go to upgrades are shaker, speakers, titans, and precision flipper bushing.

This makes the game play, sound, and feel better this is what I’m always looking for.

Invisiglass would be another thing I might invest in later to swap into a new games.

Pinstadiums are also awesome for this game as it’s kind of dark unless you add some spotlights to the middle of the playfield.

Shaker motor is an absolute must. One of the best integrations ever. Upgrading the Jeep and helicopter are nice aesthetic upgrades. Colored slingshot protectors are cool and protect those particularly vulnerable plastics. I chose orange and love the look. Better speakers with an amp will greatly enhance the sound experience.

I have over 4000 plays on mine without plastic protectors. Not necessary IMHO.

I think JP is more fun than GZ. Have both, but play JP way more than GZ.

I've got the Lior aftermarket Dino mod. Looks better than the stock Dino.

Added the Myth flames speaker light kit. Looks great and doesn't take 6 months to arrive like the other guy's.

Also have a shaker motor.

Is the consensus that premium is the way to go on this one from owners? I love both but the toys are really great on this but I heard that they get old really quickly.

I love the animated Dinosaur and was a "must have" for me. Complements the audio roar really well. Does not get old for me, but not necessary to enjoy the game.

Forgot to mention installing the code with the movie assets is a game changer.

If I buy a new model with the insider connect can I still install movie code?

Shaker for sure.. the orange protectors... Pin Stadiums... I added a few palm trees.... just looks cool...

the Rapter pen on the premium is also a must. I find myself turning the Dino off when grinding games alone trying to save on wear and tear.

I like the colored rings on LE speakers. Is it the speaker itself that has the white/silver finish or is that a separate mod?

I have a Premium on order since 11\15\22. Production is beginning sometime in June 2023. So will I see it in October?
Way sooner?
Way later?
I’m good either way because I almost bought one before I even played it based solely on the THEME.
And I still love it. Played it multiple times at different locations and extremely excited to have my 2nd NIB pin in the basement… whenever it shows up.

I'm not sure, but I think the machine will boot up with the older code if you replace the existing disc with a disc containing the movie code. The IC would not work however.

Someone else will have to confirm.

Love my Pro. You don't miss anything major really. I finally played a premium a few weeks ago and I liked the dino action for sure but no regrets!

Those are LED speaker lights. Waiting for a power splitter in the mail as the topper needed a plug in too.

That white / frosted ring around the speaker is an added piece. Though, those Kenwood speakers do have the light silver cones on them also.

For what its worth, the build date is usually just a week or two from when it could arrive at your doorstep. A lot of the posts on Pinside about people getting their NIB machines seems to be very fast turnaround once they are built at factory. A build date of January 27th might arrive at a Pinsider's doorstep on February 10th kind of thing. The transit seems to be the shortest part of the delay.

The main question is where are you on your distributor's list? If they get 20 machines in June, and you are not in the top 20 names, you'll be waiting for the NEXT batch, or the next... (if there is a next batch).

Is that topper still available?

yes. Cointaker sells it for 600$ (pre-order). Or buy from ebay douchebags for $2k lol
