Decent pinballs in arcades

There's a Wrestlemania on location? I think there must only be 1 in the whole country!
There's also one in the vue cinema in stoke on trent. However there is an acdc luci premium at the sunspot amusements in ilfracombe. £1 per go but i do advise not to play the x men pro in woolacombe as the physical lock for magneto does not work and wolverine isn't as responsive.

I think @carl lawrence wouldn't mind me posting this pic of him playing it :rofl:
 
Played Wrestlemania in Weston today. No ball save, tight tilt and overall awful game.

So, went to the pier, same 4 games as always. Filthy, and played like crap.

FFS, no wonder pinball on the decline as if that was my only experience of pinball would never play again:mad:

The KISS in the GoldenGate Amusements is pretty cool though. There's also an ok TSPP at the cafe upstairs from CeX (called 'Cafe Exchange') but all the times I've been there, the center flipper is stuck in a flipped position. It's been a little while since I last played it so I'm not sure if it's fixed yet.
 
Here's 2 near me, the Stern Star Trek mentioned earlier that's in the Harbour Amusements in St. Ives - plays superbly and was well priced, 50p a credit/3 for £1 for 5 balls I think it was.

And there's a Simpsons Pinball Party at the Grand Casino arcade in Penzance

Just come back from a narrow boat holiday which involved a stop at Stourport, which has a wonderfully low rent 'fun' fair and amusements.
This was spotted and played:

The flipper on upper playfield was stuck forward - it still worked. Probably just needed pulling back and tightening - it renders the game a bit pointless really - got a replay but I was probably the first to play it in weeks

Couldn't here the call outs over the deafening noise of slot machines etc.
The plastic Elvis with his moving arms and 'swivelling' hips cracked me up - but I'm sure Stern didn't intend people to laugh at it
