It's also possible some people just don't like it - you know, like every single other pinball machine ever made.

I'm not a fan. It's got nothing to do with the allegedly Patriots-like quality of JJP and WOZ. It's not the theme, it's the layout, the terrible outlanes and obnoxious "ball save" games I don't enjoy, the cluttered feel (especially considering it's a widebody) and a number of other things.

Sure, WOZ has haters, but it's also got tons of unabashed nutswingers. Love it or hate it it's here to stay, just like people saying they love it or hate it.

Anyone who would berate a pinball manufacturer nowadays for making the huge investment required to produce a pinball machine in today's market isn't doing the hobby any favors.

CrazyLevi has the right attitude. For every person who hates a theme like WOZ there are many more who like it. That's why it was chosen. If you look at the list from the past ten years, none seem that bad to me. I'd take any of them. I'd even take a lame theme like Hardbody for the right price because I like pinball - period.

I always had a fondness for the rock-themed pins though. I know some on here claim they don't or are "tired" of them but even if I don't like the band, they have the additional value as music memorabilia. Themes are important. They can be a big factor in whether or not a pin becomes a "keeper" for me just like I'm sure it does for most. Theme can obviously also be a big factor in resale value.

THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH ABBA.

"Quit messing around on Pinside and fix that broken pin!"
-Eazy E, 1989

Those were the best days of Rap. Long gone, having been replaced by songs about popping bottles in clubs while disrespecting women.

KTP...I apologize for being a dick. You are entitled to your opinion just like every other asshole on here. I think it was Confuscious that asked,..." hug it out bro?"

Eazy E said : throw that JP in the gutter, and go buy another.

That was off of Eazy-Duz-It. Track 6, titled "Tyrannosaurus Dick in Yo Mouth".

T Rex only eats balls.

I think you spelled it backwards.....

Shit it took you 3 months to figure that out?

Definitely Woah Nellie, ugh.

... Woah Nellie would be miles ahead and WWE second spot

Whoa Nellie is an awesome theme. Times have changed, if machines aren't made after completely bland ideas now, no one gives a shit. For every TZ & STTNG, there were great games made aboot rafting, fishing (imagine if Stern said the new machine was aboot fishing...this goddamn place would burn to the ground), cars, magic, genies etc. ...those are some of the best DMD games ever made. Now it has to some wacky shit you grew up with so 4 people can make 40,000 aboot how they get boners from movies they've seen a bunch.

You're farming melons....Fantastic. Just as good as getting drunk in a park. Remember when you used to get drunk in parks? Daisy may does.

I'd have to go with Long Duck King Kong

You got that right Ben Taco.

Patience, Grasshopper. I got one mo' week of school, then I will venture to SmellA for that there Teacher's Pet.

This guy has a pinball machine collection. Enough said.

I'd like Woah Nellie more if they'd released a Big Juicy Sausages alongside it. Think! Huge hunky butchers with their hard cocks clearly outlined in their tight jeans...maybe we could get an alt translite where you can see all the frothy precum. Sounds like a treat to me!

WNBJM Because I thought it stood for...

Womens NBA Jam

Domino's pizza, pabst blue ribbon, wwe

Agree, agree, agree.

You have to admit, $6400 for the Pabst machine that is a glorified EM is wayyyy too expensive when you can get a current SPIKE machine like GB, GoT, MET, and TWD Pro for $5K or less delivered to your door. That makes it the worst theme/machine to me, specifically based on that alone.

RCT would've been super cool if they hadn't shafted the code.

I'd gladly buy Whoa Nellie, no regrets. I'm not a huge modern TV or Movie fan, so I'm totally not into most Stern themes.

The next Stern to come out. Currently Ghostbusters, until they release the next one...............

Fergot about RBION. That too.

Luckily, there's still a steady supply of NOS Whoa Nellies available. I'm all for original themes. Frankly, non-original themed machines have always been a huge turn-off for me, i'd only buy them if the game was so darn fun that I can ignore the stupid theme. Lol

I agree

Lemme say Congo... A fabulous PF layout to a shitty theme...

I'm about a year late to this party, but careful with those words! Your statement is demonstrably false. Roller Coaster Tycoon was more than just a moderate hit, it was an incredible hit. In total, by the year 2002--the year that the pinball machine was launched, the video game series had sold over 6 million copies. Just about everyone my age grew up playing that game. It was like the computer game equivalent of pokemon cards for us.

Ah ok! I didn't bother reading the thread statements after that new bump.

I personally think that WOZ is beautiful. It may not be the best theme for a pin, but it was an important film. JJP did a good job on it imo. I just hate WWE no matter how it plays and WOF just doesn't make sense.

Dialed In is one of the worst themes in pinball history much less the last 10 yrs.

Every theme in that poll is X100 over DI.
