Never had it happen on my Premium. Is your plastic cracked? If so, I’d reach out to Stern

Crack

Plastic is getting replaced. I actually ordered the plastic from a pinsider That is not supposed to crack, but it has cracked already. He is sending me three more no issues.

No. I haven't made any adjustments on mine because it happens so rarely, but maybe if the habitrail was shimmed up a little bit, like extra washers on the screw posts, it would prevent this. Or of course removing the plastic at the bottom of the T-Rex ramp.

wow.... thats a lot of work to replace blades on a prem/LE which are funcitonal....

One idea would be to use some clear cabinet bumpers to block the ball from going to that spot.

Ball hop on the left flipper and upper right flipper has always very common on JP.

Most common way to cure ball hop on the lower flipper is loosen the screws for the inlane ball guide, then nudge the end of the guide toward the back box as you re-tighten. Only takes a minute.

Same concept to fix hop at the upper flipper too. Just have to remove the plastic and do a harder nudge to move the ball guide while you retighten the screw.

This fixes it on mine in both spots, but then after about a month it does come back. Just a matter of quickly doing the same fixes again though.

No when following our installation guide, customers take on average between 30 minutes and 1 hour to install it. Time is huge to make the mod not to install.
And the rendering is not comparable to the original blades. It’s really a huge plus aesthetically. Preordering here : https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/agusta-a109-helicopter-for-jp-pre-order-list-pro-only

Completely agree with you, but seems like there are enough supporters that this mod is considered legit by many. Can't imagine taking away a scoring mech on your game just for asthetics, or cheating the system to automatically give you points. Just seems odd for the sake of a helicopter model with a spinning rotor, but to each their own. Definitely would value the table that has the mod less, not more, but many would say the same about other mods people enjoy, including the grooved washers that improve the spin of the Jeep and heli rotors, which I use

Have seen the light (not getting the mod, though) and appreciate JP getting more love and more mods to choose from. Thank you pinopinballmods for your work and dedication to JP

Rotor on!

Still waiting for the day that a stumblor mod makes its way to JP

It'll happen eventually! AIQ and JP are defo on the hitlist, being a massive Elwin fanboy. Haven't really thought much about what to do though...

Can’t forget IMDN also. Get busy haha

Improved raptor enclosure, watchtower, helicopter and helipad, and T-Rex fence have all been done, but could be better.

Adding a visitor center or an opening, main double gate could be more original, but the later was done in the Data East table.

JP could use some ‘electrified’ fencing

Electrified fencing could be very interesting!

We were supposed to see a whole new raptor area from Lior... saddly with the areas issues....doubt we will

If you can pull off electrified fencing with Alan waving the flare in sync with the T-Rex, you shall receive official god status!

Am an LED fan, so seeing any of your Lolly lights strung throughout the table, including on the rails, as electrified fencing would jive with my tastes, ha. The only nuisance to consider would be what would still be electrified when “fences are failing all around the park”

The raptor fence stays on in the game the whole time, sort of, so if it had to be a small scale project, Lolly electrified fencing around the Raptor enclosure would look great and not conflict with anyone saying what gives with the electrified fencing when the fences are down.

Personally, would love to see fencing along the perimeter and see the electricity, or lights, putting on a show. More space for more of your lights and no one could say it’s distracting from paying attention to the ball.

I’m sure anything you come up with would be better than our ideas

Thank you for your time!

6.5 degrees can play a role, as well as the ball guide position and rubber. My game is at about 7 degrees and I replaced my rubbers with titans. Most of the time my helipad rejects hit the top of the left flipper and occasionally the ball guide.

Not sure how old your game is but even just installing a new factory black rubber there can give the rejects more of a bounce towards the flipper as that rubber will get worn over time. You can even just rotate that rubber.

PXL_20240430_181943995 (resized).jpg

that red 30th edition JP Looks so amazing i wish i could afford it; but assuming it has the same features as the pre im stoked with my pro; i got the helicopter mod it was the only mod i wanted that wasnt on the pro that the PRE had; didnt care for raptor gate or moving trex for the price difference.

thats just me

My machine is from September last year. I have replaced that rubber with a Titan, but it never bounces off it hard enough to go all the way over to mid-left flipper. Your 7 degree incline may be why.

to fix the ball getting stuck on top near t rex i pushed the rails all the way right and tightened and for like 1 minute held up the habitrail in the left middle and right and problem solved; to fix the problem with ball getting stuck on right side pop i just put 2 very small clear silicone balls and it stops the ball from going up there;;

so ive had the game for a few weeks now and with its reputation was intimidated by how "hard " it is;

the first week was brutal i had to set it to 10 balls and was getting shit scores; but now i dont think the game is that hard really just a good challenge i have it set back to 3 balls im a beginner player and im hitting around couple hundred million each game and its satisfying; hardest shot is the right helipad and right orbit for me

This post reminds me we still have a few of the "behind the raptor" ball catch fixer upper plastics available in the store, probably won't make any/many more after this, demand seems to have dwindled and I don't own JP anymore so there's that lol

Raptor Pit probably makes the most sense, maybe with a screen that shows what percentage it’s at.

Besides that the visitor’s center in the back of the playfield that spells MAP is used all the time and is pretty bare bones for how important it is.

I also feel like the control room is completely hidden. I’d give up my barbasol can for something useful and attractive there.

Finally the Raptor tower has a lot of simple mods out there, I’m sure you could do something really cool with that. P

so im a newer player had the game 2 weeks and there 2 things ive noticed about JP

its either you hit every shot or a brick fest.

Maybe...but on my table the bricks aren't overly punishing. JP can be difficult but I don't think it's a cruel drain monster.

Yes, this. What sets Jurassic apart as the GOAT machine is that misses don't kill you. Unlike every other Elwin, there's not a lot of rebound paths towards the outlanes, so you get a fair chance to manage and save just about everything. Particularly rollbacks from the control room and heli ramp almost always go to the flippers. Even truck rebounds usually don't hurt, there's enough space for it to bounce around up there and not down where it's dangerous. (The exception is the raptor pen wall on the premium, which does rebound towards the outlanes, but I own and prefer the Pro anyway.) And even in the software, draining usually doesn't hurt you much, it doesn't end your paddock, at most you miss out on a control room or t-rex fossil, but you can even make that back up with the wildcards.

Would love to see an up-to-date take on this:

I also agree with all of this

Finally cracked a billion! Thought it'd never happen. Did it on the strength of T-Rex, Raptor and Chaos multiballs. Only caught 2 dinos (still working on that skill set). But finally "broke through." Feels good!

One question though. This game seems to bounce quite a bit to the left outlane. Drives me nuts. I’ve been hesitant to adjust the adjustable pin on the entry to that outlane that makes it more narrow (wanted to keep my table regulation), but have others noticed this or is it just me?

Finished version 1 of my homemade topper. I say version 1 cause I might decide later to get actual model trees and a 3d printed gate from off Etsy but I’m really happy how this one turned out. Uses same mounting holes as the Stern topper.

Cost about $150 for everything (laminate base, plexi, L channel, vinyl image, trex and car set, and Govee M1 lights (small segments to light up everything where i want

IMG_5025 (resized).jpeg

Not just you. I adjusted both outlanes and I still get a bunch of outlane drains.

I think we used the same T Rex. I used epoxy to glue a ball into his mouth. Doesn't perfectly fit the situation (I also have him chasing a car) but I think it's cool.

It does but once you get the hang of lighting the escape save on the left outlane it takes the sting out of that hungry side. Anytime the ball exists the pops try to hit the left target (Lite Escape) as it’s flashing to light the ball save on the left out lane.

Great....SPAM.....

I disagree. I have some Geeky Jerseys and they're great. Jaws, Big Lebowski, Jurassic Park, Stranger Things themes. What's the harm in making one post about a product that's directly related to Jurassic Park, and it's fun to wear to pinball events?

It's just one post, and I don't see any difference between this post and people posting about mods for sale.

There is a whole section to post for sale items.... and since the post is gone.... dont matter..

Hey all, I received my replacement T-Rex main assembly today and it doesn't look too complicated. I am just having a little trouble removing the old one. I will try and get some decent pictures to add here. (The second image is from an older post that pulled another piece out to replace. I am trying to just remove the assembly. My circle is the blue one))

Having done this a few times before you just remove the four bolts at the top of your picture marked in red and then remove an e clip from the swing arm near where you circled in blue. It's at the end of the part marked #14 in the manual photo. Disconnect all the connectors first and then it will come right out .

You did this more than a few times I think lol.

Just wondering what color spring people have on their shooter rod. Ball keeps getting wedged between the ramp and side rail. I think the spring is too strong.

Green is stock. Red (next level up) comes on the official amber shooter. Have a photo of what’s happening?

Yeah...it was definitely more than once!

I’ve noticed occasionally on my Pro that shots up the left ramp don’t register. Pulled the playfield out and didn’t see a typical switch gate on the ramp, but did notice what looks to be a laser sensor to record the ball passing through.

Did a search on here and looks like this is a known issue. Was reading some people are using black tape and others are doing something with spacers. Does anyone have pictures of these fixes they can share?

Here’s where I posted pics of both the orbit and ramp entrance tape fix on mine.

It really is quite easy. It's daugnting at first glance because it's an expensive module and some many things *COULD* go wrong, but its really very easy. 4 screws, an arm C-clamp and then some in-line connectors. The whole thing slides up and out for maintenace.

NOTE1: When you RE-ATTACH THE CABLES, make sure you align them correctly, not backwards, and not shifting by one pin.
NOTE2: This is easiest to do with the back of the playfield lifted out of the cabinet.
NOTE3: Enjoy!

Hey all,

I’ve had my JP Prem for about a year now, bought it NIB from the same dealer that bought my P3 Weird Al LE so kind of a trade in.

It’s become one of my favorite games, and my son and his friends are obsessed. I’ve got 15 pins here to choose from, and all they want to play is JP, hah.

I run two tournaments a month out of my house, so I get to meet new pinball people all the time.

Last month, a guy showed up to my place for the first time, and he came bearing a gift for me! Turns out the guy I sort of knew as Brian has a mod shop here on Pinside. Pinbawlers. And he brought me some Pinbawlers armor for my JP!

Check it out. I dig it! Installation was really easy. I put lollipop rails on my TSPP, and this was much less involved.

Brian is totally open to custom requests too. I have a Godzilla that is a Memorial machine that I bought from the family of a friend that passed away. Brian is making me some custom speaker lights and covers that have my friends name and dates.

Anyway! I think that was a super cool thing to do, so here I am posting about it. Check out the Pinbawlers shop, Brian is a good dude!

I have both and I’m sorry Jurassic Park pro is way hotter than Godzilla. I’m totally bored of Godzilla Jurassic. Jurassic Park is exciting challenging and different every time I love it. High score of 500 million so far with three balls

Looks great! Thank you for sharing

Ever since the Godzilla hype started I’ve wanted to get into Godzilla, but it just doesn’t grab me like Jurassic Park does. Godzilla is fun, like all pinball is fun, but it’s not let’s spend $9.5K and bring it home fun. I think what’s best about Godzilla is the stumblor mods and how perfect they are for that game.

This is why Jurassic Park needs some stumblor love, to take JP up another notch

Electric fencing, lots of LEDs?

That's just a perfect compliment, thanks so much for saying so. Elwin probably had a smidge to do with it also

On the hunt for a JP. Stay tuned.

I traded GZ for JP and no regrets. GZ is a fun game but JP is perfection. It has a sharper and more focused game design and from that comes all the right tension and reward at the right times.

Oh boy oh boy!
