    Quoted from cfh:

    the Michigan pinball Expo had outstanding numbers. Like 5000 people through the door. that’s pretty incredible feat given that it was a brand new show. The organizer kicked ass and came up with many new ideas to bring Pinmaul to the masses.

    I remember going to peoples houses to fix their one game, and their comment was, “that expo was awesome there were so many people.”But on the other hand, I remember talking to pinheads like say Terry from pinball life and he said, “ we went once. We’re never going back again, couldn’t even walk in the place”

    Michigan Pinball Expo was by far the worst pinball show I've ever been to. I went once and said never again. If Expo were to turn in to that, I'd never go again. It was a complete trash crowd that beat the shit out of the games.

    Quoted from benheck:

    Ads on radio, newspaper and TV?
    How quaint. Maybe the AARP will bring some rest home people in with a bus.

    Nah, old people don't show up en masse unless it's free.

    So kids no longer get in for free? Years past Expo was free for kids up to like age 11 or 12.

    Got to play Thunderbirds from Homepin, what a hunk of shit

    Thunderturds.
    My son and I played one long, long game on it and I have absolutely no desire to ever play one again.
