I hope the toys & features are more interesting, interactive, and "magical". For all the talk about "mechanical action" toys ...the WOZ toys honestly don't really do anything. I want to see toys with multi-functions. Example - The Ringmaster on CV. In the down position it allows you to hit targets. It has a magnet which captures the ball for a cool effect. In his up position, he's a bash toy. In his high-up position, he reveals a "scoop" shot....then the ball is kicked out of a VUK. Or, a toy with multi-tiered animation, like the ship on POTC or MM's castle. I'd love to see neat tricks like the elevator or wand on Pinball Magic...or even the flying catapult trick from Big Guns! WOZ showed they can do quality and tech...but I wanna see the WOW factor that the living world under glass can accomplish!

It's another widebody so I want to see LOTS of ramps ...and divertors on those ramps to bring the ball to multiple places for lots of variety! More drop targets!!!! Drop targets that reveal new areas/ramps/saucers!

Jack is doing a location lease program, right? So....an op won't have to spend that kind of money to have the game on location.

Also I wonder if Jack will share tidbits about design, art, toys as the game is created....or was that only for the first game to earn trust for a new venture?

It's kind of funny - when Stern moved away from the "Keith Deepies" into IM/BBH/Av/Tron territory, the consensus seemed to be "We like deep rules! Stern's dumbing down the games!" ...then, people realized those types of rules and layouts can be super fun - and now it seems like many are vocal AGAINST the deep games!

At the end of the day there are players that like this style...players that like that style...players that like both. Jack knows that Keith's games sold TONS....that means enough people like that type of game that it's worth doing. TZ is still hugely popular, so that means enough people like Widebodies to make it worth doing. Jack's whole concept was "I want to provide a product that Stern isn't" ...so, if Stern is doing standard bodies with simpler rulesets...it makes sense to cater to another market by doing widebodies with deeper rulesets. Seems like all bases are covered if you're a pinball player in the market for a new game!

Put aside a few days and watch the movies

I watched the first movie in the theater and was just bored out of my F'ing mind.....then I fell in love with the pinball, and figured I should watch these things so I know what's going on in the game. I decided to go w/ the extended editions and I'm glad I did - it's MUCH easier to watch in a home setting vs. the theater. I watched half a movie a day...hehe. I really like all the added stuff in the extended versions...really fleshes things out in a good way - didn't feel like padding. Anyway...the pin actually got me to give the movies another chance and now I really enjoy them. The same thing might happen with Tron...lol. The Tron 3D Blu-Ray was on sale last weekend so I snagged it...figured since I'm all in love w/ the pin now, why not give the movie another shot.
