I have the skull mountain mod, and love it, just got it (and the rafts). I need the missing mountain though, either version, but neither seller is getting back to me.

Anyone got one? Otherwise, I'm likely buying new boulders, I'll just cut one out of the old large one at the back, I mean it's all brown plastic, should be able to come up with something that will fit.

One thing I really like about this machine is the music. No one ever comments about this, and some people I know never really even noticed this before with their own machine, but the main theme song continues to grow and add elements to it the more rafts you get.

Each raft adds either another instrument or a more livelier use of it to the main song, and the song keeps getting stronger, and more complex, until by Wet Willies it’s really built up. Very subtle but really cool.

Was there some Ravel’s Bolero inspiring this I wonder ?

It's all about entertainment IMO. Whatever music, PF, light show, it’s how it’s used. The song is great for what it is. Most that dislike I’m guessing haven’t spent enough time, or haven’t gone far enough through the rafts to allow the potential of the main theme song to do what it does. It’s goin’ 90 by Wet Willie’s!

All in all I was very surprised by this, as it’s a one and only cool thing in pinball.

Is this a normal lamp socket, so you can swap it to an LED if you wanted?

Have most people swapped this coil? I'm glad to read this, as I was thinking something was wrong with mine, as I was having a very hard time figuring out how to handle this kick out. I mostly do live catches on the right, which is very difficult for this game and kick out, but it was the only half decent way I could get control. Even then, sometimes it comes out so hard, and I stop a bounce, but it rolls up the right inlane, and over into the outlane... grrrr. (shaky shaky )

Yeah, I try it all, but that little SOB still manages to slip away sometimes It's like the only kickout I haven't been able to manage 100% in my machines. Again, I'm glad I read your post and the one you quoted, as I missed them before, and figured mine was just too strong or misaligned or something.

I order the rafts from Ebay, I really like them,

I had thought about this a while ago. The white looks interesting, I wouldn't do it given the canyon PF, but when they repro'd the PFs, would have been interesting to make a few snowing mountain PF's.

I finally scored the vacation jackpot today. Wow, maybe the best show for a wizard in pinball. Don't want to spoil anything, but keefer borrowed big from this for another big show mini wizard mode.

I didn't know what to expect when the machine went black, and thought it reset at first haha. AFM rtu borrowed a little from that as well.

It actually attaches to the sign above it on the upper PF, and hangs down. You issue will not prevent you from installing this. This, combined with the Mantis protectors will pretty much cover up your issue.

Not if it has to install as per above. I'm guessing the bear mod can be turned, or attached differently. I bought this bear at a toy store, $2 haha, waiting to find a place for it.
