Just got back from MGC. Played several games on 2 different wonka machines.

The flippers were way too weak on both of them. It's really a shame, because I still don't really feel like I got a good sense of how this game really shoots. Not a good way to make a good impression on people.

I see some people in this thread mentioned that they have electrical power problems in that half of the room.

My assumption while playing was that they purposely set the flipper power lower, maybe to help preserve the games or simply to shorten people's games? I really have no idea, it doesn't make sense that they would do that.

But on the other hand, I did not notice similar flipper strength problems on any other game there. So I don't know what to think.

And it's not that jjp has "bad" flippers or "weak" flippers in general. In fact I think their flippers are the best feeling flippers.

They are just set too weak for some reason on the Wonkas.

I posted this in another thread earlier, but thought I would post it here as well.

Instead of the name “Kid Multiball”...

Why not just do it MM style? For each of the kids that are qualified, call out their name and then say "multiball".

So you'd have "Veruca Salt Multiball"
Or
"Veruca Salt, Charlie Bucket Multiball"

Etc, depending on which ones were qualified.
