I have not been paying attention much but wanted to know what the details are.
Any solid idea on what the next game is?
Who is the designer? I thought John T was up next again?
Who is the programmer?
When will it launch?

At expo, it was revealed that Whoa Nellie will be manufactured by Stern in the Spring 2015.
For the next new title, John Trudeau is up and it was also hinted that this will be a spring release. No other details were released, yet....
OK, so on the line currently is TWD primarily with IMVE, ST, Mustang, Met, and ACDC all listed as currnet on Stern's website which I assume means they are still being made as demand sees fit?
MMr is just around the corner
WMBJM is slated for spring release
John T next game designer also up for spring time.
Anyone have any good guess or info on what the title will be or who is the programmer?
I do know that it will have more than 2 flippers which is great news in my book as John T really shines on layouts with more than 2 flippers IMHO.
Also, which distributor usuually is able to get games the quickest from release date? i.e. say I wanted to put a deposit down now for the next game (spring 2015) in a PRO model and wanted to be one of the first to get it (so I can put it on route for others to play) who is the best to go with? also want the best price obviously 
Sana'a
Quoted from luvthatapex2:For the next new title, John Trudeau is up
Wow, it has been 2 titles since mustang. I forget Stern really only has 3 lead designers (Unless gomez wants to step down from his role).
Stern still has lots of time to work on GOTG (may 2017). Heck, the movie is so pre-production there wouldn't even be a script yet, but they'd be dumb not to do that title (soundtrack alone will sell units).
I'm going to guess KISS will be next. If they already paid for the license, they need to start working on it now.
Quoted from frolic:I read somewhere that Gomez is doing Guardians of the Galaxy.
Gomez is done in more ways than one.
Quoted from Indypin:Well, since we're talking rumors. I heard Game of Thrones and then Kiss.
These 2 are of the strongest rumors....take your pick on order.
Quoted from n0s4atu:Dudes is the code name for the next title
it's about time that tv show got some recognition

Or maybe they'll surprise us with back to the future?
"What's your name dude?!"
Probably a ken block or redbull extreme game. Appeals to a younger crowd and is fairly popular around the whole world.
SR did NO fear so be a fun new fast game....
Quoted from toyotaboy:Wow, it has been 2 titles since mustang. I forget Stern really only has 3 lead designers (Unless gomez wants to step down from his role).
"Only?" Was there a time Stern had MORE than 3 full time designers on staff? Borg, Ritchie, and Trudeau are the designers, with Gomez as the lead. That and their beefed-up software team gives them enough staff to create at least 3 new titles/year.
Quoted from Baiter:"Only?" Was there a time Stern had MORE than 3 full time designers on staff?
No, you're right. Just seems like they've been on a hiring frenzy the past couple years, but it's been more support staff than lead designers.
Quoted from GravitaR:No Fear part deux
Preorder for sure. (no lie!)
Quoted from GravitaR:No Fear part deux
Sure would be better than-
Quoted from vid1900:The only 3 games we know for sure are coming are:
WNBJM
KISS
Terminator Genisys
Quoted from John_I:JT's game is a family title. Probably Muppets, but possibly Angry Birds or Jurassic Park.
Angry Birds is scrapped.
Muppets is a 50/50 Gary thinks it's to kiddy.
I think Toy Story would be a good sell.
Quoted from mnpinball:Angry Birds is scrapped.

Hope you are right!
My deposit has been down on Muppets for nearly a year, but would probably accept toy story.
Ps... Maybe see you in MN in a few weeks.
Stern is going slightly ( or not so slightly) adult now. Like when pinball used to be an bad thing to play. Way back in the day...
But with multiple lines running, they could make plenty of fam friendly titles too.

I would be much happier with any of those or Redbull Adrenaline sports then some of the other junk mentioned.
Really hoping for a great theme I like for John T's next title.
3 flippers at least! Hopefully Tanio and crew takes my suggestion of more player controlled features also (like player controlled diverts or up-posts). Would love a unique layout and some interesting ruleset (i.e. Congo esque in choose your own adventure style).

I would love a remake of BTTF or perhaps the other great Nikelodeon shows... salute your shorts.. legends of the hidden temple, are you afraid of the dark?, and you can't do that on television...kinda think of it double dare would be a good theme.
Quoted from Whysnow:I have not been paying attention much but wanted to know what the details are.
Yeah? You gonna buy a new Stern game instead of preordering games that won't deliver for years?
Quoted from practicalsteve:Not to hijack thread, any rumors as to how much they are going to charge for Whoa Nellie?
Rumor has it will be pricy. I would like to have one, but not when I am used to paying 2k and under for collector quality vintage games.

Just wondering, "deposit" with whom and how?
Can you put a deposit down on a rumour?
Serious question, only maybe 50% being a smart ass

Yeah, its not much money, and at the time the Muppets were a very a strong possibility (rumor). My family likes that I have a placeholder out there, not that I really need one. Someday it'll get made or I'll want to buy whatever is being released. No real worries here, even though I wouldn't do it again...
Quoted from centerflank:Yeah? You gonna buy a new Stern game instead of preordering games that won't deliver for years?
possibly for route. I am out of room at home so preordering games that take years works for both my budget and space constraints.
I do really enjoy many John T games, so hoping his next one is something with a fun layout and good theme.
Quoted from swf127:retro/boring
You might not be the target audience. Not at all fair to equate those terms, imho.
Quoted from mrclean:you can't do that on television...kinda think of it double dare
went back and watched a little bit of YCDTOT on youtube, really doesn't hold up. It was definitely geared toward pre-teens.
Double Dare would be interesting, both from a retro standpoint and the challenges. Maybe it could follow the show and have questions you could answer on the DMD during the game. Could also have some neat artwork on the playfield.

Just what I didn't want to hear 
At least it means more than three out there!

I was a on the show in 1987 in 7th grade...never made it to Space Camp though

There's at least five. The original EM conversion that Pinsane has, the three others they did, and at least one home-brewed one.
