The POTC with dual spinning maps they never perfected. I wonder if any exist?

I'd say dialed in. Shoots well, kooky theme.

Love The Hobbit but can’t beat WOZ

Dialed In is great, but Pirates is a masterpiece.

My current favorite is WOZ but I'm super excited for GNR

Potc.
Only because I enjoy the Tia Dalma shot near the flipper. Love that quick set up shot.

All wonderfully made, I've only had 2 games on Wonka, so I've no opinion there, dialed in and pirates are super close.

I honestly enjoy them all. I think the answer is hobbit for me, but I am not sure.

Honestly, they are all top notch games. In my humble opinion, you really can’t go wrong with any JJP pin. Just pick the theme that speaks to you the most and enjoy the ride.

No and no. None exist, and the multi-spinning map never actually spun the ball very well. The game is significantly better off with the design they ended up with

DI is amazing. POTC, yes a masterpiece. Even Hobbit is out of this world cool, and Wonka is fun(just don’t have much time on it). WOZ also outstanding but ironically (IMO) the weakest game.

Don't have much time on TH or WOZ. Between POTC, Wonka, DI.......DI is my favorite.

Yes it exists - I played it this summer in Luxemburg at Pinball Pleasure (european distributor).
Have a picture of it on my facebook page (flippers.be - can't directly link to it now)

They are all great !

Own both RR Woz and DILE

Woz is the best looking and best world under glass and theme for me.

DILE more shots interesting that it’s a standard body, great theme etc.

I’m voting Woz by a tiny bit but Potc could top them I don’t have enough time playing Potc.

I’d round out the rankings:
Woz
DI
Potc
TH
Wonka

All are great, so it’s only a matter of personal taste. My preference is

JJPOTC
Hobbit
WOZ
Wonka
DI

While four followed me home, only the top two stayed. With negative space available and dollars scarce, GNR2 better be phenomenal. The bar has been set high.

All of them are so good but I like dialed in and wonka because they are Pat lawlor games. I love what they are doing there games are great and way better then stern games

PoTC>>DI>>>>>>>>Wonka>>>>WOZ>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Hobbit

I've owned them all...

1. POTC - Just a well designed game all the way around
2. WONKA - Great shooter, really fun layout with a lot of flow
3. DI - Great shooter, shitty theme
4. Hobbit - Great them integration, ok shooter
5. WOZ - beautiful game, zero flow, clunky, almost too much going on

PoTC and it's not even close.

Guns N' Roses

Trust me.

Oh this will be fun... lol

Only one I ever thought was fun to shoot and was a good time overall was Wonka.

Dialed in shoots nice but had zero appeal otherwise.. and yes Ive played them all enough (except pirates which Ive played but not a ton)

Wrong and wrong. Some Do exist, and they were Awesome! Trust me.

It depends, in order of ownership.

WOZ - If you melt the witch
Hobbit - If you defeat Smaug, get to multiple layers of mini wizard modes or defeat a mode you have never beaten (Bait etc)
DI - Getting to Chaos in Quantum City mutiball, any crazy bob's multi balls, getting multiple sim cards
Wonka- Getting more than one golden ticket & oompa loompa oddesey

POTC - no valid experience

That's unfortunate. Especially for someone who appreciates JJP games.

Aah I forgot about you! Haha thought there were only 2 or 3 out there. Still don’t think it makes the game better

Own TH and WOZ. Played DI and POTC.

WOZ tips TH for me, but only just. I can lose hours in it on a Sunday afternoon with a few ciders. Hobbit's theme integration is 10/10 with amazing audio assets from David Thiel. The code is a tad linear with the way the modes qualify and arkenstone modes play out. Still a great game though.

Can't agree with all the POTC hype. The right side of the playfield is a dull to me, shame as the left side is amazing. Also wish it had asset integration like TH.

Wonka was a grail theme for me, and would still like to own it one day.

I 100% agree

Not understanding the perceived "dullness" of the right side of the playfield as it contains:

* rocking upper playfield with various shots/objectives and firing cannon
* M-A-P targets
* map hole shot
* On Stranger Tides inner loop/multiball shot
* G-O-L-D targets
* right ramp
* value multiplier standing targets
* 4 pop bumpers and a sling with inserts that each change individually among 10 colors as they increase in level with each hit.
* 2 spinning pop bumpers
* right orbit shot
* Gibbs/mystery/Tortuga multiball saucer shot
* extra ball target/shot
* 3 out of 6 controllable color inlanes/outlanes to complete for earning Pirate award
*"Escape the locker" ball save challenge

Lol. The right side has more then most games have on the entire playfield.

Their first game. No their second game. No, the next game.

I know. JJP #8 , that will be the best Jersey Jack Pinball machine. Or maybe #11 ?

LTG : )
Disclaimer : Everybody has favorites. Yet some days it's hard to choose.

I'm all over WOZ. Favorite game ever.

DI is still my favorite. Wish I would have never sold it.

WOZ got old very fast
Hobbit multi ball over and over and over and over
Pirates is cool, but just never clicked with me
Wonka is painful to play to me for some reason.

As mentioned/posted here already several times it's a matter of taste. I own 2 of them and played the other ones several times.
My personal ranking:
1) POTC (masterpiece)
2) TH (best theme integration, lightshow and sound... deeeeeep ruleset)
3) WOZ (most beautiful world under class with fantastic lightshow but too much stop and go)
4) DI (nice and smooth layout, great shooter with good atmosphere but theme is not mine)
5) Wonka (nice layout, lightning and shots but toy-wise cannot compete with the other ones; theme is not mine)

DI

Have you played it? I played the prototype and thought it was awful. Balls kept getting stuck. I'm 99% sure it had all 3 spinning discs. I didn't care for it. The finished game played much better.

1) Tie between DI and POTC. DI is a better shooter but the theme is meh. POTC has a lot going on...almost like a modern TZ but feels like vanilla pirates theme-wise.
2) Wonka. Another great shooter. Not a fan of the theme or the slot machine assets used.
3) Hobbit. Beautiful game, great sound. The best theme integration out of all of them. Really uninspiring playfield layout that is hidden by all the great modes.
4) WOZ. Stupid theme. Really packed to the point where the game feels clunky.

LOL What? I mean, I guess you COULD play it that way...but why? Must be another Hobbit hater who has not a fucking clue how to play the game or what the objectives are.

I'm not saying there isn't stuff to shoot at, but can't get away with the rocking playfield. Just didn't find it fun at all. It's cool that you like it though.

Is this even a question?

POTC: Not even close.

You fucking tease,we know you've seen and played it you tease!haha

Dialed In

Theme and style prevented me from buying one, love the gameplay and rules.

Enjoy them all, they're all forever bolted to the floor, but DI, Wonka, and PotC get turned on the most, probably in that order. WoZ and Hobbit are gorgeous, but they're more involving. I'll put it this way: DI and Wonka are more like Rubber Soul or Revolver. PotC, WoZ, and Hobbit are more like the White Album. It's a brilliant album, but you've got to be specifically in the mood for it.

An Eric Meunier design is like money in the bank at this point.

Plus ... Kaneda says it's fabulous and he's a JJP aficionado.

I am still on ball 1 since you post this, it keeps going and going and going and going

With 5 times more DI owners I wouldn’t be surprised.

Just curious, anyone know if DI weighs more than Woz?

I had them folded up and couldn’t tilt the hand truck on DI even with my full weight against it.

I thought Woz would be even heavier but I was able to tilt it back.

Maybe DI is more compact weight and so the center of gravity was lower or maybe it’s just heavier?

BTW love the new Stern weight they’re a piece of cake.
