In 2026 slurpies won't be frozen drinks from convenience stores anymore, they'll be bio-genetic pets that lactate recreational drugs. Pinhauling will be easier with cars you don't have to steer and drones that can fly them to your house. The public will hate the hobby for its many many deaths caused from pinball machines falling out of the sky on the earliest trips.
New machines will be custom pick your theme, sound, etc from an ever growing list of vintage and new play field layouts.
ZombieYetti will own Stern, and we'll finally see a Primus pin.
Jpop will still not have finished any pinball machines and that thread will still be going.
Color will be blue.....blue....
