Quoted from dgpinball:Probably get pilloried for this, but I think a Big Bang Theory pin would be hilarious, and since almost all my favorite modern games are humor based it would be my choice.
would you still get it if done by stern? 
Market is due for something humorous, licensed or not. Music, movie, and superheros way overdone IMHO.
JJP should do WOZ next.
Stern can do Star Wars.
Quoted from vex:would you still get it if done by stern?
That's a good question, it would be about the only title I would consider from Stern new except if they did an Aliens, that I would almost have to buy 
Quoted from frasethatpayz:A city theme. Vegas, NYC, Chicago. The buildings could be the backgrounds.
I don't know why but my imagination reading that makes it seem like a terrorist theme. Seeing balls launched at buildings gives me a Medieval Madness castle destruction kinda feeling. Don't think that one would go over too well. :p
Funhouse with a twist...
Fun carnival theme up till its closes at midnight, then scary Haunted House / Zombie theme after midnight.
It would be way cool to have different drop targets pop up for different/switched themes. i.e. Cactus Canyon
Something patriotic. Red, White, and Blue. With U.S. flags, fireworks and a kickin' base woofer.
Add a lane or mode for MIA and veterans, and each of the armed services. You could even have one for politicians, no balls, just flipper action that makes noise but does very little and adds little value.
Also have it drain to the IRS....
These come to mind
Star Wars
Ghostbusters
Superman
Haunted House
All of them should make good widebodies
Quoted from Rengozu:I don't know why but my imagination reading that makes it seem like a terrorist theme. Seeing balls launched at buildings gives me a Medieval Madness castle destruction kinda feeling. Don't think that one would go over too well. :p
No shooting the ball at buildings. Just a background, take a tour of a city, visit landmarks. Did not mention anything about MM or shooting at buildings. No terrorist here.

Quoted from Sparky:- World-wide product recognition
- Over 100 years of artwork, slogans, jingles to draw from
- Highly collectable
- Good game room décor
- Family friendly
- Easy licensing
- Pinballs popping out the top of an old green bottle for multiball (like Congo's volcano)
All true ! Add the threat that Pepsi is contacted as well and you might convince them!
World-wide product recognition
I always wondered if a completely sponsored pin could ever work (rollergames was coincidence), like the spurlock movie:
the_greatest_movie_ever_sold-960x638.jpg
I'm talking about a completely paid for pin (or heavily reduced) by allowing it to be littered with advertising (has to spend so many hours in a public location).
With that said, JJP is rumored to be making the 3rd pin a non-licensed original title (still have to wait for hobbit to be released)
Quoted from PinballManiac40:a tribute to Thomas Edison would be an excellent idea.
Good one, davewth. Very original !!
Or nicola tesla!
A generic 'rockband' type machine that comes with various songs out of the box, but let's you purchase additional tracks specific to your liking as made available. Could be really cool if they decompose the various parts of a song into bass, guitar, drums, keyboard, vocals. You have to play modes to be able to bring the bad together to hear the complete song as part of a mini wiz mode....
Mousetrap (the board game)
Zombies
Jaws
Road Runner/Wile E Coyote
Kiss (w/ original 4)
Haunted Mansion
Quoted from PinballManiac40:a tribute to Thomas Edison would be an excellent idea.
Good one, davewth. Very original !!
i was just at the edison-ford winter estates last week, so that's the only reason i thought of it. I am not 100% that was an original idea either. I hope i didn't let a cat out of a bag, so-to-speak...
Human Centipede (or the South Park version of the Human Cent-iPad)
A Bosnian movie
Killer Clowns from Outer Space

Doubt it registers with many but a Rube Goldberg theme (with the according toys) IMO would be a natural.
If anyone has played "Injustice" on any game/tablet/smartphone - that would be my vote. The story line is freakin sweet and the monitor incorporated into battles would be solid. I know some will say no more super hero titles but Jack could do this huge.
Quoted from kidpinballwizard:Or nicola tesla!
Tesla +1 What you could do with lightening for an original theme.

I re-hashed this older thread because I didn't know if my idea had been covered or not. For the last week I can't get this idea out of my head. A "Steam Punk" pinball would be cool. Some people posted "Tesla" "Edison" and "Mousetrap (the board game)" Why not combine those ideas into a Steam Punk original themed pinball. I can see the cool innovative toys and ramps and pure awesome design. Anyone else feeling the idea of a "Steam Punk" styled pinball would be cool? If you don't know what steam punk is then google pictures of it and you will know what I am talking about right away.

Quoted from o-din:If they made a "Thunderbirds" pin, I would be first in line. Just think of all the cool toys.
Ah, there it is.
Jaws, imagine it with a ship like pirates of the Caribbean that every time the shark hits it the boat rocks back and forward , the when you shink it you could start eating the people by hitting drop targets and ramp shots , SWEEET !!!!!
If I could suggest some old school themed movie ideas, my choices are:
Blade Runner
Conan the Barbarian (The original, of course)
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (we need a Spaghetti Western)
Das Boot (multi level playfield seems appropriate here!)
The Blues Brothers (Yes, you know your SNL fans want one!)
i would love any of these themes ......
ALIENS
BLADE RUNNER
NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS (anything tim burton would be cool)
TIKI ROOM (tiki inspired pin)
original themed SPACE game
THUNDERCATS
FRAGGLE ROCK (yes, i said it!)
BLACK HOLE (based on the 80's disney movie)
CLASH OF THE TITANS (new or old themed)
PRISCILLA.... QUEEN OF THE DESERT 
Quoted from ENDOFLINE:i would love any of these themes ......
original themed SPACE game
How about Blackout? Wait, already done. 
Another spaced theme idea is 2001 A Space Odyssey.
