I try to visit either the York Show or Pinfest once a year. The Pinfest show has seemed to really get better year after year. This was my first year attending Pintastic and I was blown away. I made the 4+hr trek up from South Jersey with two of my sons and three games for free play. This show had it all from plenty of games, lots of vendors, seminars with great presenters and plenty of things for my sons to enjoy. You could tell this show was put on by people that are real Pinball enthusiasts and not someone just out to make a buck. Everything was well organized from the show pamphlets to the signage around the building.
The one thing that really stood out to me about this show is that it was really family friendly. The venue was perfect to bring the family for the weekend. There was much more to do outside of pinball for the family to occupy themselves. The kid’s activities were great like the face painting, clowns, tournament, rides, cartoonist etc.
If you can only go to one show a year this is the one to go to. Thank you to everyone who helped put this show together. I look forward to next year.
