Had a great time last night and will be back tonight.
Show/Venue - The venue is amazing as always. I like the move of the tournament area from the main floor as there is a bit more space to navigate. Food & beverage service is also outside the main floor now but very close. Only one food truck and one ice cream truck last night.
Played a bunch of pins for the first time (thoughts below). Couldn't get anywhere near Weird Al - the lines were huge. Good for Multimorphic.
Godzilla Premium - the hype is justified. We had a great time on this pin. Felt like it had a ton of shots and the mechanical features made me smile. Great artwork and looks amazing in person.
Halloween - Love Spooky's quirky design and how different it is from other offerings. Beautiful artwork and loved what I could hear from the sound. UI is just not nearly on par with Stern/JJP but its not horrible. Shot much better than I expected and was faster than expected.
Mando/Rush - these were ok to flip but nothing really stood out. I could see adding a Rush one day but Mando just not my thing. I too played the Mando that launched SDTM (soft plunge instead) so maybe will give it another shot today.
Guns n Roses - Wow! This is one freaking amazing looking pin with a lot of very interesting shots. It truly looks like an $11K pin and clearly has a ton packed into it. The light show is shocking. BUT - the wife and I played just one game on this and both got terribly bored with the Song Multiball feature. It was cool to collect band members and start the multiball feature but this game had a ball saver that wouldn't quit. I mean it just went on and on and on. Does this game always play like this or had it been nerfed for the show? I love a healthy ball saver but holy cow.
Excited to go back tonight.
