Hot Wheels
American Pinball, 2020Quoted from Vegas9:I am very excited to share that American Pinball is back up and running and has resumed building Hot Wheels in our brand new facility in Palatine, IL. Shipping in June. Stay tuned!
Great news! Looking forward to playing Hot Wheels
I'm pretty excited about this one. Any plans in the works for a gameplay video and/or official release?

I also would like to see game play and/or explanation of the modes. Inquiring minds want to know more!

Does this mean Rosh can come out of his basement now?
American Pinball heating it up and making it Hot..wheels.
Quoted from Ericpinballfan:Does this mean Rosh can come out of his basement now?
He's going to need some sun and get a tan.

Quoted from Ericpinballfan:Does this mean Rosh can come out of his basement now?
I will be soon be emerging from basement, taking a break from final code testing, for two days! Although my daughter has been home from Penn State since spring break, I now have the joy of driving up there to actually get all of her belongings. Sad thing is that I originally planned that when I would go get her, in mid May, I'd be stopping by Helicon and possibly other locations to promote Hot Wheels™.
Quoted from LTG:He's going to need some sun and get a tan.
Once or twice a day, my wife and I will take the dog for a walk and get some fresh air, but yes, be nice to get some sun.

Aw man, missed you last time at Helicon. I do hope you come back during late Summer!
The pictures show a wonderfully integrated theme to a family favorite. I can't wait to play this one. GREAT IDEA and WORK AP!

Polishing up the Deep Dive and yeah, this is going to be a fun game. The rules are killer.

When is it going to be available to watch? And a link would be nice.

Working on it!!
Looking forward to this one. Jumped on the list early look forward to seeing what the team came up with.

I was thinking road trip. Visit AP, JJP, and CGC.
See all the teams gearing up.
Going to be an exciting Fall !

Quoted from JoinTheCirqus:I’ll be a wet blanket. This is a head scratcher of a theme to me. Sure, my 10 year old would be interested, but why would adults purchase this? I guess if it plays great and has awesome code.. but still!
Guess the same could be said about TMNT or dozens of other titles but that’s why Pinball is a unique hobby, not everyone has to like the same thing.

Having never played either Hot Wheels or Mustang, I would look at Hot Wheels first as a theme I would like. I like Mustangs, but not enough to like it more than Hot Wheels.
Quoted from JoinTheCirqus:but why would adults purchase this?
They had Hot Wheels as a kid and like the theme. Game turns out to be a lot of fun and many don't care what it's named ? Some are just AP fans and want the game.

This. I liked hot wheels as a kid. I like playing with hot wheels with my kids now. The game looks cool and the rules look fun (car collecting, track building, shifting gears). After the first videos of hot wheels pinball came out, I went and watched the hot wheels web show. The show was neat and basing some modes on it is a great idea and great use of the screen. Also, I like the games AP has made so far.

Because "adult" themes like "how to survive a global pandemic" and "my credit card debt is out of control" are major letdowns and we need some escapism?

On the other hand pins with themes of
rock-'n'-roll bands that have not been relevant for 30-40yrs whose members sport hair-do's
that could scrape the ceiling or dust the floor make perfect sense.
It's all just nostalgia.

There's a big difference.
Me and my wife (which btw is 14y younger then me, and Def wasn't around for Beatles, nor gnr) we can both listen to and enjoy back in the ussr or you could be mine.
But, How many times a year, do you think we play with Hot Wheels or watches a cartoon about toys for five year olds?
This theme is possible the worst they Could come up with, and out of their three titles, houdini is by far their best theme, to bad the game is designed by a guy which best game to date is baywatch.
(you may argue simpson(code is what makes it stand out), woz, which is assets and mechs, hobbit, which is asset management)

My brother in law and his wife (who is 20 years younger than me) still collect Hot Wheels. They travel around the country attending conventions and shows while spending at least a few grand on cars each year. And there are thousands of people like them.
It’s not a theme for me, but there are plenty of adults in the U.S. who will love it.

Great. Lets hope they Buy it, so AP can stay alive. Then they just need a Creative game designer and a knowledgeable go getter for better licenses, then their next game will be a smash, cause quality and as a company they seem great.
Quoted from Dr-pin:But, How many times a year, do you think we play with Hot Wheels
How many times a year are you tired of being an adult and wish you could bust out the tracks and play with hot wheels again?

Damn Mike_J, the entire company is Riding on the weight of your shoulders. Good luck man.
Hot Wheels ONLY for kids! Sorry, but I disagree...
Documentary
World Record Jump
Top 5 Stunts
Like the narrator states in the documentary, I still dream like a kid!
Quoted from Eskaybee:Damn Mike_J, the entire company is Riding on the weight of your shoulders. Good luck man.
Not sure I’m up to the task, but I’ll spread the word amongst the Hot Wheels cognoscenti.
How does American Pinball not have a video up for this pin?
There is no streaming video showing gameplay besides shitty cell phone footage at a show. You need a stream to show off the game to make people interested. When are you actually going to show the game in full????

Creative game designer? Have you played the Apollo 13 rocket,Simpsons couch,Houdini trunk shot,Oktoberfest coaster! It may not be flowy for your liking but the most creative and innovative designer ever to take chances in pinball. Forgot to mention he designed Houdini in weeks not months. Everyone else plays it safe or rehashes old ideas.
It looks to me Hot Wheels had to be simplified without the great wow design innovations in order to appease the public of a flowy fan layout game like all the rest. You may like this one?

In terms of good theme, one could ask oneself “have I spent more hours all together playing with Hot Wheels or watching Star Wars?”. For me it’s not even close so I guess that would make Hot Wheels a way better theme. Admittedly, I never had any Star Wars toys.
On the other hand, this game seems to be based more on a tv show which I’ve never seen and not the toy, but I have spent some enjoyable hours watching Star Wars films. But I guess what really wrecks it for me is that the Hot Wheels cars in the pin make brum brum noises which my toys never made. Back in my day, Hot Wheels were zero emission vehicles, but this pin seems to want to celebrate vehicles which pollute. What’s up with that?
But I’m looking forward to watching some of the video.
Quoted from RipleYYY:tonight...
Where's has AP announced this? Their marketing is non existent.
Everyone keeps talking about the theme and wether or not they can relate to it.
Just curious what your thoughts are on Dialed In? The guy with his arm in the air like its a revolution and Crazy Bob's lottery! Like if they threw a typewriter in somewhere for the hell of it would it matter? Hahaha! WTF?

You might be overthinking it 
(both are good themes)

Agreed. And the sales of dialed in reflected the poor theme choice.
