Toledo, OH
I'll be going to Gatlinburg/pidgeon forge may 29- June 10. Is there anywhere to play pinball? I know there's a lot of arcades, but I don't remember any of them having pins. Anyone have any for sale in the area? Thanks in advance!

Howards Steaks next to Calhoun's and near the Space Needle in Gatlinburg had some pins on the second floor.

Quoted from amkoepfer:How far away is Knoxville from pigeon forge? Might be nice to check out the city since I've heard great things!
It's about 45 minutes, my dad lives just south of Knoxville. I love it there, beautiful part of the country.
I will be on vacation around the same time your heading out. Going to be driving in from a week at Outer Banks and hoping to play the BBB while at OB.
Howard Steak House had 5 pins when I was their last year in decent shape--Tron, Rolling Stone, Elvis, POTC. The space needle arcade had a WOZ two years ago and an Iron Man last year. The food is good at both spots and space needle arcade is very kid friendly if your bringing little ones.
Drew, I definitely will pm you if I can make it to Knoxville, great games it looks like! I'm not very good at the newer games due to rarely getting to play them (that's my excuse!) But I love playing and meeting fellow pinheads! Midieval, I'm sure I'll check out both of those places, I'll have my 3 year old pinhead with me, but most places down there are pretty kid friendly. Thanks again guys for the tips
There is a premium walking dead in the space needle arcade.
I was pretty impressed by that arcade. Lots of new stuff that was in good shape.
They had some newer Mario kart game that is really good.

Quoted from MattElder:the Ripley's museum had a RBION (of course)
Where did you see this machine? All I found was an exhibition room with two tablets showing Pinball Arcade.
Howards steaks got rid of theirs, space needle is closed while they switch over to the card system. (Anyone else hate it that they put the tickets you win right on the card? My kid loves getting tickets and that's the only fun of half of these redemption games. Most are just swipe card, hit button, its over. I hate it!)

I couldn't tell you exactly where in the twisted halls of that place that it was, but it was there a few years back. 
I must saw if your ever near Nashville stop in the game galaxy they have tons of stuff and most play well. The owner is great also me and the lady had a blast wish we cld of stayed longer bc there are around 85 pins and 100 arcades.

Someone mentioned Howard's Steak house, but there are not there anymore.. That's all I've seen so far!!
