\Can't see where it lists diff'rences in prem+
Yeah, I saw it earlier, but now the premium pic is missing...it mentions moving helicopter?? So I assume the trex and helicopter are 2 things, also was there a drop bank similar to afm on premium/Le?
Quoted from Darscot:We are just shooting the breeze and talking about the pin. They say opinions are like assholes for a reason. Why are people so damn shook over other peoples feelings on a pin.
This thread contains lots of “opinions”

Oh dang. This does look good. Like that the T-Rex looks to be a secondary ramp that comes down to scoop up the ball. Also looks like he turns to spit it out into the wireframe.
Will want it, but being that it seems like even the rules are similar, I don't know that it'd be necessary to have two JP's. I'll probably still just keep mine, and play this one in public.
I'm thinking it is too bad this wasn't Godzilla. I'm betting that will go all the way on the back burner now.
Quoted from Coz:Fixing up the Jeep with virtual mods is gonna be all the rage!! This will be sterns first pin with online connectivity and you’ll be able to have micro transactions to add virtual bling to your virtual ride!! Exciting times await...$5 for supercharger, $10 for big tires, $15 for racing stripes
LOL! Is the Jeep raised above the playfield? A monster truck rally in Jurassic Park? Who will be the first to sell a set of dirt mods for the game? Forget about magnets, imagine what piles of dirt / tire tracks on the map will do to ball travel. 
The pro model says static helicopter, one would assume the premium is not static thus moving in some way.

Thats the thing that looks like a physical ball lock on the right to me...?
Ah I didn't even see/read the Prem+ has up posts in the inlanes...doesn't excite me much so thats ok. <--EDIT: Sorry the pro DOES have an inlane up post.
Actually I wonder if it’s like rescue 911 where there will be a magnet they grabs the ball still, the helicopter picks it up and drops it at the 3rd flipper. The trajectory makes sense for a mechanical device to be there.

Again just an idea... nothing I actually know
Quoted from TheLaw:Hmmm....Very fancy if that's true.
Right casue the copter is in the same location

I know why they are doing it (licensing etc) but it would be such a shame if animations become a trend. When clips are done properly, like B66 and Hobbit, they’re gold.
The other thought is that many licensed properties probably wouldn’t allow animations either. Depends on the “DNA” of the license.
Seems the lcd part of pinball is merging more with the video game/app industry. Makes sense for a lot of reasons.

I see what you're saying. At first glance I just thought the blades look like the perfect spacing to fit balls in...no clue myself either
Quoted from TheLaw:I see what you mean...are those confirmed or could they be scoops/saucers and then a VUK to wireform?
Confirmed assuming the "Pro Features" image posted on TWIP's FB and linked here earlier is accurate and official, and I understand it correctly. It lists both of those as "1/2 pipe" ramps.
9ea362132f6887fbbb8f45aa2ea30e80de31e3cc (resized).pngThe game looks pretty nice to me.
But if you're looking for criticism, the instruction cards pictured on the apron don't seem very informative.
(Note: Only kidding about the cards shown on the apron. The close-up shot of the instruction card is nice.)
Quoted from PinKopf:Confirmed assuming the "Pro Features" image posted on TWIP's FB....
Yep thanks, I finally looked at that page 
I'm down for Dino Perks...the more RPG-ish elements the better
Quoted from littlecammi:The game looks pretty nice to me.

Quoted from Whysnow:Other possibilities I have heard include
Godzilla
TMNT
BTTF
Stranger Things
I gotta say that I am just happy with all these rumors and that we are talking about themes that are not complete meh for me!
Have not heard the BTTF rumor, but very excited, since I've been wanting that since I first played the original Data East (stern) and like others disappointed.
Quoted from HoakyPoaky:Can someone state the name of the Lead Programmer on JP? I believe it's the same new guy that was the lead on Iron Maiden as well?
Iron Maiden has great rules & scoring, and from reading that JP rule card & studying the playfield, this game is going to give the player plenty of options on how to strategize & attack it. Capturing various dinos for special perks that last all game, building rescue streaks for different rewards & extra balls, build up jackpots shots, multiple different physical lock multiball modes, smart missile target rewards, 3 mini wizard & a final wizard mode. Looks like there's a lot to do on JP, kind of like a 90s pin. Sure beats the straightforward rinse & repeat, defeat this monster, defeat that monster, hit this lit ramp for the 200th time on BKSOR.
This guy is about to make my Stern short list (along with Lyman & Elwin) as the only people at Stern who gets my attention. What's his name?
Elwin is the one who should get the majority of credit for the rules on Iron Maiden. He basically tells the programmer(s) what he wants and they implement it. It will be the same for JP2. Takes a lot of talent to both design the PF and come up with the rules.

Quoted from Toppers:Serious question, So we know people can change our audio files on stern games. Has anyone played with messing with the video files? Is it possible? Could make for an amazing custom code if possible.
This dude does an amazing job: https://www.facebook.com/pages/category/Local-Business/Pinball-MIX-1841127499277944/
Quoted from RGR:$$$$$$$
Cheaper to use clips. Way, way easier and faster too.
Not every decision you don't like is because people are cheap.
Interesting that Kaneda makes the distinction that the Prem raptor pen has a dropgate in his description, but doesn't call out the moving TRex head as a Prem only feature when listing it... I hope that is in the Pro too.
On the Prem I see:
- sculpted/3d raptor figure (flat "butyrate" plastic/image on pro)
- magnet core looks to be visible inside raptor pen on Prem, not on Pro.
- some difference with the helicopter on the far right, can't tell what.
Anyone spot anything else?
I'm hoping they hired Michael Knight for the call outs on this game as he seems to be the only human on the pf or at least the biggest by far. Games obviously gonna have a good sense of humor.

Based on how Stern describes the pro in the slide, the T-Rex doesn’t move in the pro.
Quoted from cooked71:Never seen so much wireform on a Stern game. Wireporn.
Star Wars Premium/ LE

It is odd that there's only one person on the playfield. Not odd, though, if it turns out Nedry is the main character in the game.

That would be Wayne Knight!

Me too!!!
But I guess we can settle for Wayne....

He'd still be alive today if he had been driving a Monster Truck with a supercharger. Just sayin'! 
Quoted from Coz:Yeah, I saw it earlier, but now the premium pic is missing...it mentions moving helicopter?? So I assume the trex and helicopter are 2 things, also was there a drop bank similar to afm on premium/Le?
Correct. Looks like a 2-bank on the raptor paddock gate that lowers.

We all know, sadly....this might be the inevitable future. 
Quoted from mjruser:The playfield pics are pretty difficult to see, can't wait to see some better photos!
Same here. My one and only NIB purchase was an Ironman vault and hope to change that and get this game
