    Can't wait!! I've been missing them...

    #6 9 years ago

    Thanks for posting, asay ! I live ~10 minutes away near Immaculata U. and work only 5 minutes away ... no excuses not to play and support Bill and the Pinball Gallery.

    Harry - couldn't agree more ... Bill Disney is a great guy in the pinball community.

    I am right in malvern. Can't wait!

    #8 9 years ago

    My last visit there,I played a widebody Bally from late 70's
    and was blown away by the pricing;25 cents/gm w/5 balls!!!

    I kinda think it was Future Spa

    Now only if I lived close by--

    2500 miles away!!

    I'll be back!!!!

    #9 9 years ago

    Love a nicely tuned Future Spa, my favorite pinball feature - the in-line enclosed drops!!!! Love em!!!

    #10 9 years ago

    Heard about this. Malvern PA here. Looks cool!

    #11 9 years ago

    Great. I've been to their other locations a couple of times. Nice mix of machines, and now there will be more. Can't wait for the grand opening.

    I've got a one year membership, so you know i'll be there far too often.

    #13 8 years ago

    Great to hear now its a little closer to home. I purchased my
    Scared Stiff from Bill Disney a few years ago. Bill was really nice
    to deal with. Maybe he'll want the SS back in his lineup. Not a chance! Love it.
    Instead I will continue to bring plenty of coin to his new place.
    Best of Luck!

    Wow.this place looks really cool.
    Does anyone on here plan on playing in their summer league? League starts this coming Thursday.

    #15 8 years ago

    Is the new location open yet?

    #16 8 years ago

    Their website says they are having a tournament on Tuesday June 2nd and league starts Thursday June 4th.so I'm guessing Tuesday will be the opening.

    #17 8 years ago

    Re-opening Friday June 12, 2015 in Malvern.

    Our regular summer hours will be:

    Monday CLOSED
    Tuesday CLOSED
    Wednesday 11am-1pm, 5pm-9pm
    Thursday 11am-1pm, 5pm-9pm
    Friday 11am-1pm, 5pm-9pm
    Saturday 2pm-9pm
    Sunday 2pm-7pm

    We are very excited about this new location! It is much bigger (almost 4X) than our previous location. As a result, we’ll be able to do much more and do it bigger and better than we've ever been able to do it before. More space. More games. More timeslots available for birthday parties, corporate outings, and special events. Expanded hours. Expanded tournaments and leagues. More fun for the whole family and everyone who loves pinball and classic arcade games!

    It took a lot of work to get our new location ready, but we've had a lot of help from local pinheads (thank you!). We are now planning to have our grand re-opening on Friday June 12, 2015 starting 11:00am.

    Keep watching our website, www.pinballgallery.net for the latest news. Better yet, follow us on Facebook or Twitter or subscribe to our mailing list at the right side of this page.

    GET YOUR MALVERN ON, PINHEADS! (and stay away from trader joe's, you're better off stealing the neighbours veg than dealing with those insufferable hipster twats)

    All I ask is that you do not forget that the best Funhouse within reach is at PinCrossing in Linfield. If you taste pineapple habanero on your fingers after playing it, that was me. But seriously, where can you play a No Good Golfers within a today's drive?

    #18 8 years ago

    Can't wait to visit the new location!

    #19 8 years ago

    Where was this place previously located? Cool. Not too too far from me.

    #20 8 years ago
    Quoted from insaneinthedrain:

    Does anyone on here plan on playing in their summer league?

    I will be in the summer league, can't wait!

    Quoted from Otaku:

    Where was this place previously located?

    they were previously in Downingtown

    #21 8 years ago

    Right by Victory... Wish they had moved next door to Sly Fox so I could use them as my break room.

    #22 8 years ago

    Awesome news, I'm definitely looking forward to making an appearance. The lunch special sounds like a great deal as well!

    #23 8 years ago

    This is close to my parents house - they are going to wonder why I am visiting more often, lol

    #25 8 years ago

    I am a little confused by the admission fees.
    What if you want to just stop in and look around do you get charged?
    Or is that to get rid of the lookie loo's?

    #26 8 years ago
    Quoted from Bowman9:

    From the post: Admission to the Pinball Gallery provides access to most of our games, which are set on free-play (no coins required!). [...] There are a few games at the front of the store that are available for coin-play (no admission necessary).

    The Downingtown location was pay-per-play all around. I don't know about you, but I can easily save money on this new model and I look forward to the chance to blow an entire Saturday there. Followed by food and more pinball at PinCrossing, of course. =) I just hope the machines that still take coins aren't the ones I want to jam out on. If I lived/worked any closer, the annual membership would completely make sense to me.

    I can't imagine if you just wanted to look around that they wouldn't accommodate you. They're super nice folks. I'd be there for the grand opening later today but got way too much to do. I may still try to pop in for a minute...

    #27 8 years ago

    when i was there today, the games on coin drop were Mustang, Cyclone, and EBD. as emkay said, the owners are really nice, and i am sure they will let you look at everything without making you pay.

    The place is wide open, the free admission are is separated from the pay area by only a chain, so you can see everything...

    #28 8 years ago

    Yeah, I ended up stopping in for a bit too. Lots of great machines, a few missing. I was mostly bummed they sold their WOZ since Downingtown but otherwise good stuff. New sign is way too small and new location is slightly trashy but there's plenty of food nearby if one wanted to go for the $20/day deal. Time will tell if the monthly/yearly deals make sense. I got the impression they intend to open a second room full of machines (she said 75?!) once all pigs are fed and ready to fly. I wish them all the best.

    #29 8 years ago
    Quoted from emkay:

    New sign is way too small and new location is slightly trashy

    They said they ordered a new sign, but it did not come in in time for their opening, so they used a banner they already had laying around. Hopefully the new sign will be bigger.

    What did you find trashy about the new place?

    #30 8 years ago
    Quoted from gabegabegabe:

    What did you find trashy about the new place?

    The whole strip mall. I'm not complaining, I'm comfortable on the trashy side. Hell, I'mma get me some biryani and hit the lunch special as soon as possible. I knew exactly where I was going but still drove around the parking lot a couple times looking for it. I'm sure a new sign will rectify that...

    BTW, Ken is the shit. Love that guy.

    #32 8 years ago

    Ken won the Tourney? Shocker!

    #33 8 years ago

    Ken only won because I let him put up the GC score in Arena , and then played like a donkey vs Pete in BK2000.

    I'm the shmo on the right.

    But seriously, F! Arena. That game is terrible.

    Ken would have probably beat me anyway, but again, F Arena.

    Have I mentioned how I don't ever want to play Arena again?

    #34 8 years ago

    Lol I love Arena. It's such a goofy game.

    #35 8 years ago

    Can't wait to visit this Friday or Saturday! We're hitting the Too Many Games show those days and we plan to pop in for an hour or so to see how awesome this place looks in person.

    ARENA!

    I won the monthly last night. Had to play Arena for the final match.
    The sound was out on it, and no one else was playing any more. So we played for the win in silence.

    Now I'm more torn on that game than ever. I definitely don't like it, but it got me my first win, so can I really not like it that much?

    #38 8 years ago

    Great place! I love it.
    Just wish they had more EM machines.

    Going back real soon.

    Congrats! I was the one who finished third. I really dislike bk2k.

    Quoted from electricsquirrel:

    They just added an EM woodrail (Gladiator) and two early ss bally's that are basically like EMs, Freedom and Blackjack.

    #40 8 years ago

    Looks like we'll be going tomorrow night, 7-10
    Hooray!

    They are beginning to fill the back area and have added a handful of EMs, including a wood rail (that wasn't working today).

    WP_20150717_005.jpgWP_20150717_005.jpg

    Also added a new KISS and even though it's still set for coin drop, they were quick to toss me free credits on it during the lunch 'special'. I've got to do that more often, btw.

    WP_20150717_002.jpgWP_20150717_002.jpg

    #44 8 years ago

    Gahhh I really need to go. It's a lot less convenient for me in malvern now but I wanna play KISS.

    #45 8 years ago

    Can't wait to check this place out

    2 months later
    #46 8 years ago

    Finally made it to Pinball Gallery. The space is MUCH bigger with almost 60 machines, I just miss them being 5 mins away in downingtown

    Lunch special is $5 for 2 hours free play from 11-1, so cheap!

    #47 8 years ago

    I would like to suggest a Pinside gathering here.
