Quoted from ryanwanger:

Needs Loctite, or a better t-nut. Stern is aware of the issue.
It has nothing to do with people on the assembly line not doing their job properly.

About the raptor pit problems

Quoted from cocomonkeh:

Can someone take a pic of the S shot underneath the wire frame? I think something came loose on the one I just helped set up.

Here’s mine btw. Something seems loose

Quoted from Hazoff:

Wizards Castle, man I loved that place. Cloverdale Mall early day when you should be in school, Hash bots and good times.

Thank God there were no long term, lasting ill effects right?

Im sorry, I didnt see this, can more be shared?

Quoted from pickleric:

What parts are you getting from the hardware store?

A drill bit to put a new wood screwed post into my playfield!

I kid, I'll find a new old stock post to replace it that is long enough to make it through the playfield. I debated hardcore locktite but I'm just going to leave it off of the playfield for. I may put a round mylar sticker over the hole for now.

Quoted from OLDPINGUY:

So my one way gate in the raptor pit broke after about 4 games last night...anyone else had this issue?
I've emailed Stern already and I'm sure they will take care of it, just curious if it is a common thing or if this was a bit of a freak incident.[quoted image][quoted image]

And this

Our Raptor pit was not tightened down (at all) and the ball was getting hung up/caught in there. It wasn’t until a dozen or so games in... that we realized that the gate was never tightened down, but just hanging in there

And this

Couple things...
My ball gets stuck a lot in the raptor cage between the gate and a post rubber to the left, and the same thing happens at the one way gate above the spinner in the middle. Any solutions?

Also table is level on all 4 legsbut my glass is super hard to get in/out... best way to pry the side rails loose a little?

And there was an other one smewhere in this topic.
No serious damage but as a company this stuff is something you want to adress

All i ment is call your distro
Sure a loose post can happen, some locktite is fine but let them do it in company , im sure Stern wants/needs to know about problems to make adjustments or better processes

I remember looking at ours on route, and I think the post comes out beneath the flipper plate, so a longer post might end up hitting against it or not allow enough room for a locking nut to attach to. I only glanced for about 10 seconds so could be wrong about this. Will be following up as well on this.

No prob! To answer a couple rules you guys seem unclear about...
Mini wiz mode King of the Island is at the Spinosaurus paddock. Capturing the T-Rex is not a mini wiz but boosts timers for 2X scoring, Ball save during multiballs, all modes.
Paddock capture difficulty- The green and yellow paddocks require you to only hit the "Set Trap" targets to light capture while the orange and red paddocks require setting the trap AND hitting the helipad to light capture. If you visit the Spitter paddock as your 2nd paddock you must hit the helipad before capture. It's a tough paddock but the reward perk is 2x super spinner. A regular super spinner is 2X lit spinner value so you can stack the spitter perk with 2x playfield and super spinner and max spinner for 8X lit spinner value (roughly 2 mil a spin)
The carnivores have special abilities. The ability of the spitter is to freeze rescues for 5 seconds when it comes within one space of a rescue. This is why a couple of the rescue shots you guys hit didn't award a rescue. You will know when the rescue light turns solid that that victim is temporarily incapacitated.
Other carnivore traits include:
T-rex- super speed
Spinosaurus- can jump from left side to right and vice-versa
Raptor- two raptors are active at once in the paddock, both must be captured
Compys- can't be slowed
Pteranodon- can fly directly to rescue shots
2X playfield scoring is lit via supply drop collect
Escape target is lit via roll-over in the pop area

This clears up a lot of our questions. Thank You.

You are correct. The post terminates directly behind the flipper plate.

Are all of the wizard modes already coded in?

Im feeling real good about picking up this game.

I played a couple hours today, all alone in the Lounge, and found myself a bit in awe about
the variety of mode, rules, and shots....It simply grabbed me by the balls, and gave me much more than
1 more game feeling.

Multiballs are well earned, not given out, and I played 2.

Holy Crap, trying to keep balls in focus with the upper flipper and the 5? possible shots from it,
was an insane rush!
Must upper flipper games dont have so many different fast flowing shots that way.

Im going to wait for the next run...let them get some changes out with flipper post, QC, etc....

Now, what to move out??? WH2O?, ICB? a bunch of slots? Thats the tough part.

(Wonka also ate some quarters for the first time, but after hearing, "shoot Augustus Gloop" a couple times,
I knew what I preferred...pretty game, though).

#377 4 years ago

How hard is it to shoot the top left Dino ramp? That is a long way back (which is a good thing - up for a challenge). Love having the 2 main ramps at completely different lengths.

That is actually the easiest shot in the game.

Just unboxed my game tonight and I’m loving it so far. Right ramp and right orbit are tough shots though.

Watched movie last night and glad Stern didn't get all the assets.

Game is much better as it is, and with Keith's coding, is going to be a classic

Didn't like the tilt sound initially but love it now!

Only thing stopping me buying is the playfield issues.

I want a nice playfield, without band aid washers - is that too much to ask?

Couldn't disagree more. Watched the movie recently and it's still amazing. This approach of taking an amazing movie and making your own story out of it is stupid and is just a way for Stern to save money.

Keith designed such an amazing layout it's a shame it's not combined with the assets of a movie classic. The call outs on this game just aren't good neither is the generic art. I actually just bought a DE JP bc that to me is still the true JP pin so if something can be said about this it's that you truly can own both JP pins and not be overboard bc Stern JP is just that in spirit.

That being said I'm still excited to play and own the premium bc Keith did that good of a job and the super light jurrasic park "wrapper" Stern applied is enough for me but to say you're happy it was done this way is absolutely crazy. Maybe you're a distributor too ; ) The shilling game is reaching an all time high recently so wasn't sure!

Btw I really hope this is not a sign of things to come bc combine this with jjp's recent change in strategy of less is more, this just isn't a good pattern for Pinball.

Code update went well. Game over animation added to the visuals along with many code polishes.

I get those who like the movie are disappointed.

I guess I am so used to Stern cutting costs, that I was trying to see the positives.

I am not a fan of the movies, they are just decent to me.

I do though love Keith's designs and code, and dinosaurs are just timeless aren't they?

It's the shots that sold me straight away on this game. Nothing else comparable really.

I love Maiden but this might shoot even better.

Quoted from delt31:

Couldn't disagree more. Watched the movie recently and it's still amazing. This approach of taking an amazing movie and making your own story out of it is stupid and is just a way for Stern to save money.
Keith designed such an amazing layout it's a shame it's not combined with the assets of a movie classic. The call outs on this game just aren't good neither is the generic art. I actually just bought a DE JP bc that to me is still the true JP pin so if something can be said about this it's that you truly can own both JP pins and not be overboard bc Stern JP is just that in spirit.
That being said I'm still excited to play and own the premium bc Keith did that good of a job and the super light jurrasic park "wrapper" Stern applied is enough for me but to say you're happy it was done this way is absolutely crazy. Maybe you're a distributor too ; ) The shilling game is reaching an all time high recently so wasn't sure!
Btw I really hope this is not a sign of things to come bc combine this with jjp's recent change in strategy of less is more, this just isn't a good pattern for Pinball.

I agree, however i see some kind of upside atleast with going the animated route. and that is that they can design the"movie" so it better fits with gameplay.
Also with your own animation you can probebly prolonger the lifetime enjoyment of the pin, cause there might be another upcoming story/mission etc, in the same way computergames work.

Jurassic Park: an sdtm unboxing

hands down the best unboxing video ever! I love his reaction to the first game.... I've never bought a NIB but I'm heavily leaning towards it.. just got a quote from the closest distributor.

Quoted from NoQuarters:

Code update went well. Game over animation added to the visuals along with many code polishes.

So, total amateur question here, but if I have a brand new SD card ready to go, what's involved in updating the code? Layman's terms, I'm no computer guru

Well put SD card away and get a USB stick with like 8GB, files are smaller than that but may as well be safe, and it is super easy. Download code, move two files to the usb stick, turn off game, put in stick, turn on game, follow display instructions

I played this game both at Pinburgh and now last night at My Parents Basement (Comic Book / Pinball Bar) in Atlanta. Loved playing it at Pinburgh and love it even more with the new code .87 on it. This game shoots awesome and is going to be an all time modern Stern classic. The paddocks are not really traditional "modes" per say, and when you add in the control room modes and the T-Rex events, the balanced feel of everything is really coming together. I am for sure getting a Premium.

Well, hellz bellz.... its USB?!?! Why was I thinking SD? Does the stick need to be formatted any certain way or anything? The closest thing I've done to this is adding code for a color DMD on an older stern. Sounds very similar

The actual code for gameplay is installed on an SD card that the Spike Motherboard uses. To update the code you use a USB memory stick.

I'm hoping someone will give us a sound mod ala Cleland for example, where it puts the movie callouts into places that make sense. If not I'll have to try and use pinball browser to do it myself I guess haha.

Quoted from Shapeshifter:

Watched movie last night and glad Stern didn't get all the assets.
Game is much better as it is, and with Keith's coding, is going to be a classic
Didn't like the tilt sound initially but love it now!
Only thing stopping me buying is the playfield issues.
I want a nice playfield, without band aid washers - is that too much to ask?

U gotta be kidding me....there is no doubt if Stern had more assets it would improve the game experience....they didn't get the assets because Stern was too cheap or the cost was out of whack.

So i was in this camp too - mentioned the same about pinbrowser and I'm sure that will definitely help but there is much more missing then just voice clips. I've played this game a good amount now and just looking up and around the cabinet, you think it's dinosaur planet vs Jurassic Park. The animations are good but looking around the playfield and especially the animations with those weird looking people - it's going to forever be missing those faces you're yearning to see - like in the DE game, that translite is right in your face and brings everything you want. The DMD just amplifies it with great dots of the action (color DMD being a must). Even the crappy art on the PF it still tells you that JP story with all the characters represented.

On a positive note, this JP approach by stern really convinced me to get a DE JP b/c you can truly own both games and play Stern for the shooting aspect knowing you're getting a watered down, barely there JP movie experience so when you're frustrated with that - I jump right to DE JP which is the exact opposite. OK shooter but JP in its FULL glory.

Can't complain about having two JPs but for folks to defend Stern's obvious cash savings and spinning it - just stop.

Now, what to move out??? WH2O?, ICB? a bunch of slots? Thats the tough part.

Slots of course!

But after seeing how incredibly successful JJPOTC was on such limited IP, I actually wonder if this isn't going to turn out to be a blessing in disguise in the long run. I am starting to think there is such as thing as "too much IP" integration, and it detracts from the game. In a couple months we may be talking about how the lack of IP is one of this pin's strongest assets, just like it was with JJPOTC.

Quoted from OLDPINGUY:

Im feeling real good about picking up this game.
I played a couple hours today, all alone in the Lounge, and found myself a bit in awe about
the variety of mode, rules, and shots....It simply grabbed me by the balls, and gave me much more than
1 more game feeling.
Multiballs are well earned, not given out, and I played 2.
Holy Crap, trying to keep balls in focus with the upper flipper and the 5? possible shots from it,
was an insane rush!
Must upper flipper games dont have so many different fast flowing shots that way.
Im going to wait for the next run...let them get some changes out with flipper post, QC, etc....
Now, what to move out??? WH2O?, ICB? a bunch of slots? Thats the tough part.
(Wonka also ate some quarters for the first time, but after hearing, "shoot Augustus Gloop" a couple times,
I knew what I preferred...pretty game, though).
