Quoted from Kevlar51:Do they still have their Whitewater?
Nope WW was replaced by Monopoly. The Hoops basketball game was previous to WW. Hoops was a broken machine.
I liked WW but it was a very dirty PF and ramps. The lock down bar was loose. I was tempted several times to remove the glass and clean it with NOVUS.
This operator does not take good care of the pinball machines. I called once about buying the WW. He quoted $10k and said "I know what I got". LOL.

It was gone. They have a new Luigi haunted mansion though. Monopoly was the only pin. Didn't get a chance to play with kids in tow.

Thanks--that bums me out but saves me the trip. I've never had the chance to play a Whitewater, and this was on my to-do list.
Calling all players!!!
Spring (Winter) season of Free State Pinball Association (FSPA) pinball leagues are coming soon. League players have the opportunity to win cash and/or prizes and also get an opportunity for an entry to win a free pinball machine! See the FSPA website at http://fspazone.org/ for specific details and rules. Our league players range from serious competitors to beginners and also include casual players just out looking for some fun and to meet other pinheads. But if you are looking for competition, FSPA leagues are also IFPA registered so come out and get some points if that's your aim.
Leagues start last week or two of January or first week of February. The links below will direct you to the league sign-up form, and you can also access these links directly from the FSPA website.
Each link will show the week 0 and week 1 dates. (Week 0 is a practice week and a get to meet the location and other players week - no cost or obligation if you just want to see what it's like...) Website calendar pages will show the same.
Any questions, you can email your local league commissioners via the web-site.

Just made it to Spinners for the first time in a few months and there were many additions to their arcade. First, they have a 007 Pro now, but also have maybe 8 Sterns with insider connected. Maybe 40ish pins? The real additions were to their arcade. I'm guessing 60 arcades, and maybe 15 of them were new since last time. It is $15 to enter, or $50 for a family. I brough my 6, 9, and 11 year old and they were beyond entertained the whole time, even barely playing pinball. The sit down racing games and Terminator Salvation shooting game were their favorite. There was also a decent sized crowd there, but plenty of open machines. Great place to try out Arcade 1ups (maybe a dozen in a small room in the back) as well as play some weird stuff you won't see elsewhere... like Hercules.
Anyways... take the family out of a trip to Frederick to check it out. Plenty of other family activities (cool canal walk, great Wonderbooks used books and CDs, Waffle House...

I was contemplating going there today before a home repair took up my Saturday. I'll get out there eventually.
Do any locations have a Foo Fighters on order in the DMV area? I’m trying to decide between that and a GZ for my one remaining gameroom spot and am itching to try it out!

Ocelot Brewery usually gets all new Sterns upon release. I would check there once they start shipping operator pros.

Crabtowne posted yesterday they're getting one as well. I expect we'll see them pop up in a lot of places as the game looks great so far! I have one on order for Reclaim Arcade but that's a longer drive for you

I have it from a good source that they will literally be all over the dmv (well at least the M part)
