    Question about the passes… I usually rent a trailer that needs hookups.

    If I buy a standard camp pass, that will guarantee I will have spot it just may or may not have hookups (pending on when I check in) is this a fair assumption? Figured I’d ask before I get lock into a non refundable RV deposit.

    Quoted from Flipper_McGavin:

    Is this festival generally bigger than Pin A Go Go in Dixon or around the same # of machines?

    Bigger place, more games

    Any word on if Pulp Fiction will be there this year?

    Quoted from mc300baud:

    ok, so i'm planning on heading down from Tacoma this year, as i will be not attending the NW Pinball and Arcade Show due to a lucrative offer of work that overlaps my "home" show. also, ML Huntsman has been encouraging me for years to come down and check it out so i took that as a sign that this is the year that i should do it.
    i have space to haul one [not for sale or trade] game with me. while i have plenty of popular WPC and Stern titles to choose from, i prefer to bring something a little unusual, something that not everyone has seen. i've been waffling between Magic Castle (Zaccaria), Street Fighter II (Gottlieb), and a re-import Stern Grand Prix that yells at you in Italian. any preferences there to help me choose?

    Another vote for Magic Castle

    Quoted from izzy:

    Is Rob Anthony going to be fixing boards at the show?

    Yes, well he’ll be there at least. I’d email him and ask if he can fix your board while he’s there.

    Anybody know if there’s WiFi there or close by?

    I have to log into an event while I’m there.

    Quoted from pinballholder:

    Unfortunately, Planetary was unable to bring a Pulp Fiction for us.

    Dang, that’s a big miss.

    Quoted from CCPL:

    What is always helpful is for people to directly communicate with distros and manufacturers when you want to see a game at your favorite pinball show!

    Glass pre-order info.

    In Pulp thread…
    I didn’t think to have to ask Planetary.

    Do the RV sites have water? I know no water out.

    #384 11 months ago
    Quoted from pinballholder:

    A lot of the RV sites do have water, but not every single one of them unfortunately.
    That's why the Camp Silverball invoices that are sent to everyone all state "While most sites have electricity, not all do. And many sites have no water." We try to be up front so there are no surprises!

    Thanks bud!

    Quoted from SonOfaDiddly:

    I do not understand the GTF hype. I put 500 million up on it the first time I touched it but found it to be exactly zero fun. a topic for another thread
    also isn't kill bill a wcs94 retheme? Odds seem long on that one getting mass produced imho

    KB started out as WCS, though the current game has about twice the coil count as a modern game. I don’t think any manufacturer would make this game as is.

    Feature list

    Wcs vs KB
    Flippers
    2 v 3
    Pop bumpers
    3 v 1
    Magnets
    2 v 5
    Up posts
    1 v 4
    Screens
    1 v 2
    Spinning balls
    1 v 0
    Saucers
    3 v 0
    Scoops
    2 v 4
    Shaker
    0 v 1

    Thanks for anybody who played it any feedback welcome…
    Sorry it was down Saturday night for a period of time, went out to eat and came back and the game was turned off due to a stuck ball.
    I was pretty happy with the limited down time. I had to pull the glass four times all weekend. 2 stuck balls, 1 flipper spring fell off, and guide rail needed to be reattached all pretty minor fixes.
