Quoted from Betelgeuse:

but I dont understand why every machine I have seen has been setup slow and floaty. Is there something to hide?

There is just WAY too much uninterrupted horizontal real estate in the playfield. There is no way you can counteract the effect of this layout, no matter how you set up the game. And I have tried. We have a Hobbit on location that I was able to tweak. I greatly increased the pitch, as well as the strength of the flippers and kicker coils. While this did help, it still felt at times like you were courtside watching two old men play tennis. Back... And forth....Back..... And forth. Much of this would have been mitigated had it not been made a wide body.

Still, TH is gorgeous, and the best sounding game I have ever heard. The display is amazing. I think it will succeed for folks that don't mind a slower, cerebral, quest-like pinball experience.

I much prefer a visceral, fast, furious, fun,and intense pinball experience, but am thrilled to have access to TH on location.

Quoted from DaveH:

How is it earning? I'm asking because the one near me has been filling up the cash box.

I'm sure it will earn great. WoZ is there too and it was the best earner on the few occasions that it wasn't broken.

We are very fortunate to have both at Cactus Jack's. THe Hobbit calls to you across the arcade because it's so darn beautiful, but unfortunately about 2-3 minutes in to the game I find myself daydreaming about playing GB. I guess I'm sort of an adrenalin junkie when it comes to pins.

That said, the hammered armor on TH is amazing and is by far my favorite aspect of the machine. Does anyone know if there is any version of this armor that would look good on AC/DC? I hate that slippery red powdercoat.
