Honestly I agree with this. I think the Jurassic Park property has moved into a greater "JP Universe" type setup at this point where Sam Neill and those two stupid annoying kids aren't necessary (or god forbid Chris Pratt). JP is about the dinos, the park, and cool vehicles/weapons/tools/traps. I'd rather the games immerse *me* in the world of JP rather than just following along to an old movie (which was inferior to the book anyway).

Is that real? Because the 1st two pics don’t look alike. Top has no lights and spring is flush to face plate. 2nd has lights on faceplate and spring goes to a raised area from faceplate instead of being flush with it. Would be great if real though!

I’m not a diehard fan of the JP theme (I did enjoy the original movie), but this looks amazing. Can’t wait to try one in person and I hope they will have them at Expo. If the game is as good as it looks, I might pickup a premium. I usually love picking up the LE, but I can’t justify the cost for a theme that isn’t my favorite. But I’m thinking this is going to be a lot of pinball and will be one of Sterns best.

They're the same thing. It's just hard to make out from the top view because of black on black.

Some of us married well.

What does that have to do with anything? Or do you mean with two salaries, there’s more disposable income that you can use to buy pinball machines. Sorry, not following?

Get your LE’s fast because the 500 will be gone soon!

Is there a Cliffy for the T-Rex’s mouth yet? (kidding, sort of)

It was nice having you STERN.

Monday PETA will violently storm their factory...

I took it as him making a joke. A pretty funny one at that.

500 becomes 600

Impressive looking machine to say the least. Really nice to see some new designs and features.

Another video animation posted looks like https://www.facebook.com/sternpinball/videos/325538985062169/

They will have them at Pinburgh/Replay FX according to their email footer... and most certainly they'll be at Expo

Oh my god, I 'm catching up, but I HAVE to comment on this. The year I went to Nationals as the TX rep, GOT was one of the three games I played in the first round. I don't know what the heck they did to that thing (everyone was too stunned to look closely), but between me and the other guy, we LITERALLY ended our game in under 3 minutes. Neither one of us even cleared 5 million points. Whatever they do at Nationals...it's so much worse than anything else I've seen. Apparently, the only skill valued there is shot accuracy, because if you even miss on a game set up the way that GOT was set up, you can forget about nudging, it's already gone, and the tilt is likely tight enough you can't really shake it out of an outlane.

Man, I was bitter as hell after that for a good long while.

Not at all my friend. Stern has to be selling these to distros for max 6K, and the BOM can't be more than $4500-5K for them.

So yes, for $9000.00 I expect a visual from a centerpiece mech that does NOT look like a floppy dong piece of plastic from a $20 toy I could nab at Target. No thanks.

LOL, I can’t even keep up with this thread.

I’ll sum it up for you:

It would look like a real dinosaur if it had an accordion on its neck.

The thing I'm most curious about are the differences between the raptor pen on the Pro versus Premium. The matrix says the Premium has a "Motorized up/down target guarding the Raptor pen (ball captured behind the target operates as a newton ball when the target is hit)" So, does the Pro have just a large drop target in its place? Or no door at all? Or is the "Motorized up/down target" really the steel post that's on on the Premium, and the whole Newton ball thing happens beyond that point, and the Pro has the same door as the Premium on the outside?

The stream can't come soon enough!

Both have an up post there. Premium/LE have a AFM style motorized target bank in front of that.

...or if Stern would put a turtleneck sweater on the dinosaur.

FTFY

Dinosaurs and polka is my jam.

Easy big boy.

3D modeling seems to be well made.

Looks great. Based on his depiction on the playfield, I assume they must have signed a deal with Wayne Knight. Can't wait to see some of his animations.

Isn't the story here that the entire movie already happened and you're now just part of the SWAT team in the end scene that gets flown in to shoot at everything that moves?

That actually would be great!

So expected premium production and shipping is...October? What is the consensus?

In on Premium, this is what I heard as well.

Nedry would be dead though so that doesn't make sense unless they retcon JP1 or it is like a computerized avatar of him?

Trailer with the "original" Jurassic Park main theme music in it...

...from everybodys favorite troll.

But I have to admit, I laughed my butt off.

Hate the theme, hate the prices at this point but this pin looks very intriguing and complex. Still going to wait on sideline until I REALLY play it.
I guess will try it next week at Replay)

The way the feature matrix reads the T-rex on the pro does nothing? I also see nothing about any rgb LEDs. I know its probably too late already ,but hey stern!, this is clearly a warm white GI theme and would seem an obvious nuance. You would not see cool fluorescent white lighting in a jungle. Please use warm whites (like sunshine) so I don't have to replace all the GI bulbs in my new $9000 game.

Anyone else notice, he is not playing JP from the angle that shows his face? It looks like Congo!

Oh shit!!!! Fire him D: ...!!!!!!

I'm impressed the teams at Stern keep churning out good games at this pace. The new artist did a great job and the mechs on the game look unique and fun.

Can't wait to see the Dead Flip stream monday!

And as usual, Stern knocks it out of the park once again! Keith Elwin is making a BIG BIG name for himself very quickly. This game is going to sell so big that its not even going to be funny. I bet the owners of these other pinball companies are shitting themselves about right now, if not they should be because this game just took away a shit ton of potential sales from them!

HOMERUN ALL THE WAY!!!

Was there any word if it would be a Pro or Premium? Hoping for Premium!

Yeah, its always more entertaining to read about a T rex causing havok that watching it do so on the big screen with great sound. That whole the book is better crap is just that crap. The PF looks much better than the pics in the video with Keith, Need to play it first but its looking like Pro for me.

If we don't see the dinosaur eat the ball, we will burn Utica to the ground.

I tend to agree... but want to see it in person first.

Forgot the sarcasm emoji...

I can't help thinking of this scene where George Gomez is playing the part of Daniel Day Lewis.

Here is JJP who can't get out of their own way either by making games fast enough or by using proper assets or theme integration. I love JJP but they have made 5 pins in 8 years.

PotC they can not make enough of or make any profit if they did apparently. (edit if JJP could make more they would sell more but they don't want to).
TH a lot of people don't care for was a shit movie franchise to begin with.
Woz and DI is great but some people don't love the theme.
Wonka is half and half.

Anyway here is George Gomez talking to the other manufacturers.

I am a pro buyer. I see a lot of people are torn on model choice because the t-rex doesn't eat the ball but that isnt really a selling point for me so much as the potential of the raptor pen. I'm more interested to see how the gameplay is over there than the t-rex. While I like the idea of having a model where the t-rex eat the ball, I think its ultimately going to be the raptor pen that affects my decision.
What crazy world am I now in where I'm wanting the weekend to end and looking forward to a Monday?

The more I look at this game the better it looks, amazing how Keith can map out so many shots

Just making a comment. Not saying anything neg. Be calm.

Late September
