I've said this many times, but pop bumpers are so boring. Where is the creativity? Invent something new for Christ's sake!

OK. You gotta think outside the box. Pinball is about the ball getting rocketed around, I agree. but the same old round bumpers arranged in threes on every machine? C'mon!

Imagine a Outlane you could shoot up that was extra wide and had slightly angled slingshots on both sides going all the way up and the goal was to get the ball by nudging, to a ball accelerator at the top that would send the ball down the other side of the machine at break neck speed.

How about a rotating scoop? You shoot it and it catches the ball at playfield level and spins. Flipper button triggers a fire of the ball like a cannon.

how about a cannon mechanism where the goal is to fire into a second cannon etc.. Zig zag up the playfield.

When will they give the player control over magnets as a shield or whatever?

Pinball design is ridiculously conservative is my point. I have a hundred more ideas.

I don't have time, as I run two companies. I understand why they don't take risks, but it won't stop me from suggesting they do.
