arent there like 5 of them in the entire world or something?
Quoted from TheDude:arent there like 5 of them in the entire world or something?
I believe only 3(correction 2). When I played it at PHOF the right flipper was too weak to make the steep ramp shot most of the time. Frustrating game. Trying to climb each level and one mistake and its back to the bottom.
Difficult game that is hard to master.
Very satisfying to reach the top.
Also has a neat video mode.
At $1.00 per game, it isn't played too often by many.
Give it a try.
It is a really cool game. Definitely one to check out if ever at the PHOF. But, the weak right flipper makes it even more challenging to get to the top level. The elephant "toy" is one of the best ever...!

Quoted from pinballslave:Wow, never seen this one before!! Who's the manufacturer?
The marquee says midway.
Quoted from VegasAlleycat:But, the weak right flipper makes it even more challenging to get to the top level.
So, how does the ball get up to the top?
----------------------
Answering my own question:
"Flippers (7), Pop bumpers (4), Drop targets (3), Kick-out hole (1). No left outlane.
The lower playfield has three flippers: two are offset and a third one rests vertically nearby, for flipping balls that drain from the Ring 3 playfield via the corkscrew habitrail. Flipping a ball on the lower playfield up the left center ramp delivers it to the Ring 2 playfield where its one flipper is used to flip the ball up a ramp to the elephant's trunk. The elephant then raises its head to roll the ball along its trunk to the habitrail behind it, routing the ball to the Ring 3 playfield. This playfield has one small flipper and a mini-slingshot kicker in place of a left flipper. A skillful shot up the rear ramp of this playfield delivers the ball to a magnetic ball lifter which elevates it to fall into the clown's playfield. Two small flippers on this final playfield are used to score the three drop targets and to score a jackpot behind them. After jackpot, the ball is returned via habitrail to the right flipper on the lower playfield."
Quoted from vicjw66:The marquee says midway.
Made by Williams (who owned the Bally and Midway brands at the time) - it's a WPC boardset.
Quoted from pinballslave:It's always nice to see a pin you've never seen before, especially such an odd-ball one like this!!
+1 I need to go to Vegas.
Quoted from kwiKimart:I need to go to Vegas.
Me too! I've been there twice, but didn't know about the Pinball HOF at the time...
