Quoted from Hazoff:Put down the crack pipe sir, wake up and smell the coffee, I don't know anymore of those. Wonka looks awful and in no way is threatening Stern or BK sales it won't even see the light of day for probably 6 months. Sorry to say it but ur take on this is ridiculous.
Couldn't agree more. Wonka is way over-hyped and in no way will it slow the competition (which is the major problem in pinball - not enough competition and quality products). Continuously putting out titles (like Wonka) that appeal to an aging population does nothing to engage a new generation of pinball wizards. My kids hate the Willy Wonka movie and think it's creepy. I wish Jersey Jack would have come through with the Toy Story theme that was rumored to be released. With the 4th TS movie set to be released later this year, a TS pin would have been perfect market timing for release. Let's get a younger generation hooked on pinball so this great hobby doesn't almost die out again!
