After about 50 games, it's definitely alot more fun that after 2 or 3. It's a nice installment of the roller coaster/theme park trilogy, if you ask me. The long ramp that loops around is a bit annoying but other than that, pretty "ok". A good starter machine or slot filler but not long-term single machine for a homeowner.

Ive just recently played a few games on this and was less than impressed. The sounds and music are horrible and repetative. I do like the ferris wheels and the super long ramp but it just looks and plays cheap. There is very little to do/shoot at and I couldnt see myself ever owning this game.

REALLY long ramp with the Hurricane shot which is interesting. Juggler is kinda hidden so you dont get to enjoy it. Thought the playfield was too dark. In the trilogy of roller coaster pins this is the lowest rated in my opinion. Not nearly as fun.
Artwork is also below par...looks cheap...as if a high school student did it as a project.

Actually this game surprised me after owning it for some time now. I'm playing the game without the juggler so no chance at the jackpot but really shocked how smooth this game is. Dunk the dummy is a little irritating but adds a heckler to the game which is fun to watch when someone else is playing. nice flow with the ramps and the loop de loop is definitely different than most pins. Overall super impressed with this carnival themed pinball game

the ugliest corniest game ive seen to date. you cant appreciate the hideousness of this machine until it is in your own home. the cabinet artwork doesn't match the playfield artwork, it looks like two different themes. the music and sounds are cheesy, except when its clown time, that music is soooo cheesy that you cant help but laugh. had one for a couple months, it was like a redheaded stepchild to me. its sort of fun if you can look past the creepy clown staring at you with its legs spread wide open.

For those who don't know, Hurricane is the third game in a series of three roller coaster themed games. Comet, Cyclone, Hurricane. Hurricane is the DMD title in the three, although it doesn't have video mode which is a bit disappointing. It plays fast and without a wide open playfield the game is very challenging. There is a wide variety of shots to make, strategy is needed to get a high score. You won't be hitting the ball randomly and coming away with millions of points. This game has some of the most fun ramps I have seen so far. The big looping hurricane ramp that goes past the flippers and returns to the left flipper is satisfying to hit. The backglass has a rotating disc to provide some animation effect. There are two spinning Ferris wheels and when the ball goes through them and returns down the hurricane ramp you have just enough time to take a swig of beer and prepare your next shot. There is a three ball multi ball as well which is nice, and very helpful for racking up the points. I think this game is great and has lasted in my collection because of it's difficulty.

Yikes. This game is terrible. No flow. Bad toys. There are much older games with more going on than this. The back glass promises more than the game delivers.

I own a perfect Diamond Plate version. Great for family. Love the roller coaster theme. We used to drive twenty miles for pizza just to play Hurricane. Don't believe the negative comments about Hurricane. It's fun, unique, and deep!
My biggest complaint is the "dunk the dummy shot". It's necessary to dunk the dummy to complete two out of three modes. The dummy is set low on the playfield and is protected by super-thick rubber posts. The game calls out for you to dunk the dummy a ton! Most of the time a shot to the dummy will result in a center drain. A cheap trick that keeps this one from being a top pin.

This machine is interesting. It left me cold on account of the huge circular ramps and not a lot of openness. However, a real bang for your buck machine. Artwork is incredible. I almost would like it better without a DMD. The DMD cheapens the overall design and attention to ramps and spinning backglass artwork. Played at Seattle Pinball Museum.
