[personal opinions]
the arcades room is pretty amazing. lotsa vintage. doubt gamers will be disappointed. the arcades and pins are in separate wings of the same building, a very short 20 yard walk apart. lotsa pins, ~400. difficult to maintain those numbers. many of the machines, when acquired, needed work. despite best efforts, many machines still need help to play properly. expect some number of machines to be down. fewer machines are down with each new expo. the EMs and some ss played real floaty , [could be different this time around, but check out the Mata Hari]. action on a number of ss will disappoint. if you think you are going to relive your pinball youth, as I was, you will be disappointed. the action and playability of games, especially 1977-1985, and even later, may be nothing like they were back in their day. the volunteer tech help is great, but can only do so much with what they are given to work with. the majority will not be close to HUO condition. the lighting along one row, in particular, reflects dead center and low off the playfield glass. VERY unbearable, and sadly, a lot of nice titles [find the TOM]. visit the pinballmadness.com site, its the right row in the picture. Newer titles [in the collection] are there, just don't expect multiples of a single title, as you might find in a 'private parties bring the games' type expo. The very newest releases you may not even see in the collection, like DI, AS, SW, or Alien, even though the show is still 2 months away. Remember, it's a 'museum'. last march, a distributor had about 8 NIB sterns [AS, MET, BM66, WNBJM]. if more than one SW or an AS are going to be there this october, a distributor will likely need to set up again.
historians will find a number from the 'rarest pin you have ever played' thread. very cool.
best way to get a idea of what to expect is to view any of the youtube walk throughs of past arcade expos - last one being 3.0.
not trying to discourage anyone from attending - depends on what you are looking for. worth a trip, at least once, to evaluate for yourself and determine if worthy of a return engagement. i should be there all weekend [$95 for all three days - 31 hours]. the arcades are a nice plus for me. if the campground is open, i believe it was something like $35 a night.
