Leaving cold and rainy Sweden, in a couple of days, to go to Florida for a few weeks!
Will be living in Clearwater (No, i´m not a scientologist) and Fort Lauderdale.
Are there any pinball machines to play? I have a car and will be traveling around a bit, but there would be good to know a place or two where I can play.
Thank´s!
Hey. I live in Clearwater and I'm not a Scientologist either 
Anyway, about 10 miles from Clearwater is the Replay Museum with about 75 pins. The cost of admission is like $13. Clearwater has a few places that have pinball on location, but most are single pins.

They can be found in Clearwater or Dunedin (I assume you will be on the beach, so might be too far to head to Tampa)
Your also welcome to hit me up. Not the biggest collection, but your welcome to stop by, play some pins and have a few drinks. I'm sure there are plenty in the area that would extend the same invitation.
Arcade odyessey is awesome in Miami. A steller line up of new sterns (12) , with under cabinet lighting, leds and great shape. A cool retro gameroom with Blacklight carpeting , cool music and japanese videos playing on widescreen tvs on the wall. All game playing on tokens.
I should be having a GOT LE release party in the next few weeks.....
Not sure of exact date though 
but new pinsiders are always fun to meet!
The world famous modfather will be attending and offer free autographs

Hilarious yes , but sadly true.
Quoted from Sweetmike:Sounds nice! And i thought that there would be hard to find machines in Florida
Toasterdog; That would be realy nice! I'll keep in touch!
Greetings from Safety Harbor! Right around the corner from my friend Toasterdog! When your done there feel free to stop over! (But bring Craig with you!) Best, Charlie
Woohoo! What a great place that was! Spent a couple of hours there along with the family. Nice titles in good condition. Ok, a few of them where shut down, but the ones up'n running, played well!
Even got to write on the high score list on a couple of them.
Nice! Thank's for the tip!

I'll second that. If you're ever in the Miami area check out Arcade Odyssey.
If you want to travel about an hour east to Daytona there is an ice cream shop with a few nicely maintained pins called Cow Lick's. Don't go there just for that, make the trip worth it. Take a stroll along the world's only beach you can drive on. Walk the pier. Check out the shops on Atlantic Avenue and the Ocean Walk Shoppes. Stop by the beachside Tiki Bar at the Americano resort, it's open to the public. Some great stuff in this area.
By the way, you're in Orlando? Do you plan on stopping by Universal Studios by chance?

Sorry about the late answer. Hotel wifi sucks! I´m acctualy back home in Sweden right now. Played a lot of pinball on different places Thank´s for all the info from you guys!
I did visit Universal Studios, thursday and friday, last week. Did I miss a pin there?
No, people just like to sneak into the old Nickelodeon Studios building there from time to time. There's nobody on site and they leave doors unlocked all the time.

Has that party happened already?! You've got a great collection! I am going to be in FLL and MIA this weekend for work so looking to play some pins. Probably will try and hit up Arcade Odyssey too.

Not yet... Still waiting on Stern
Most of us will be in Orlando this weekend for the Shows
The Orlando Free Play expo is coming soon. November 11 thru the 13. Anyone been to the previous ones? Is it worth going to?
If you like pinball and arcade games, then yes, Free Play Florida is awesome! If not, then maybe you are in the wrong forum? ;o)
Seriously, it's great! Come see it for yourself
i have been to a few, there are usually all kinds of different machines from different eras there
its an ok show for the most part where saturday is the busiest day and the best day to go
doesnt matter who you hang with i know most of the people on the villages
i guess it depends on whats working or not working on the floor
Quoted from OLDPINGUY:Depends who are you hanging with!!
