I'm looking a RCT for possible purchase.I've played the game a bit over the years and I know its nothing spectacular but it seems OK.It supposedly plays error free,no PF wear,cab is lightly faded on one side.Also comes with an extra set of plastics,rubbers,the mini matrix screen on the PF(I guess that's what you call it).Here are some pics.
What should I expect to pay for this?

Super fun game, I own one and I'm super happy with it, alot of shots, the way that one looking the max I would pay is 2200, but 2000 would probably be the right price, huo 3000

Thanks guys.I'll see if I can snag it.I'll keep you posted.
Anything special I need to know or look at on this pin while looking at it?
Thanks

$2-2.3k. I like mine, had it for over a year now. VERY many fun shots and a nice change of pace game. Can't think of anything special to look for, just the usual things. Leds really make this game sparkle. Could use an OCD board so the inserts leds look their best. Here's what I made for my game. I also put 3 double spot lights on it to light up the pf better and a Comet 7 led strip to light the center drain.

It was fun to do cuz I took the coaster apart and sprayed the seats sparkle silver and hand painted all the little things like wheels and grab handles. The coat hanger support to a while to fit right, I think it took 3 attempts.

Only game ive ever walked away from and never wanted to play again.

Underrated game, great for kids and casual players. Advanced players will not find it challenging enough to hold their attention. I enjoyed mine while I had it. Sold it 18 months ago for $2500.

I get distracted/disturbed each time I play this game due to the troll's no pants situation. There should be a mod...

I picked up one a couple months ago in a trade plus cash....fun game IMO. It's not terribly complicated but it gives you a lot to shoot for. Watching the ball go up high and down the main ramp that drops the ball to the left of the PF never gets boring for me. I have a nice one with LEDS....just need to shop it out a bit.

Look to make sure the right most ramp isn't cracked at the entrance....it's notorious for that. Also check the snack stand scoop as it gets wear if the game was routed badly. Cliffy sells protectors for all this stuff. Oh and check for updated ROMS...mine still has old 4.1 ROMS and I think it went up to 7 or so. These will give you your price check. I got a bit more in my trade but I'd pay 2k for a nice one.

I'd like to see a fun MOD for the troll doll back there....I think the idea of him bopping up and down is neat but needs a better toy. Something more interactive with the theme music and sounds.

As others have said, fun game but not deep. Enjoyed mine while I had it. I would think $2-2.3k would be acceptable.

I had a tough time getting into the game, but to get a newer stern in this price range is a good buy.

I picked up one HUO about 6-7 years ago. Set it up in my living room as I sometimes do to judge a new pin to test out if I was going to keep it. I had played it in a Disney hotel I was staying at but it was not working well enough for me to judge.

Within a couple of weeks in the house I was able to "open the park" or whatever the wizard mode is called twice on ball one. It became way to easy to learn how to take advantage of in home use.

Sold it for $2K soon after.
