Good news in Plymouth

Just spotted this , a new arcade in Plymouth, this could be great, and the guy is coming back from the states so pinball may be his thing.

Popped by tonight as I saw they had a Twilight Zone and a Circus Voltaire and it's not too far from me. Twilight Zone was playable but the plunger spring was very weak, had to whack it with my palm a few times. Circus was in a bit of a sorry state though alas. Ringmaster never popped up to say hi, the boom balloon was stuck up and not doing anything. There was also a ball stuck behind the right slingshot. Flippers seemed okay on both games but another customer told us that the right side on Circus had been sticking earlier.

Bit of work and a cleanup and they'd both be good. As for the rest of the arcade, it was pretty busy for a Wednesday night, people were having a good time, I even had a few goes on the dance machine. Fair selection of Driving and shooting games and a few random other things like basketball toss, air hockey etc. The retro video games were multi games in generic LCD cabinets though and nobody seemed to be interested in playing them.

Still early days for them, hopefully they get the tables sorted out sometime soon. Would love to give them a good play again.

Yes it’s a bit disappointing for a new venue pinball wise but maybe will get a few more games in over time

Went today, terrible condition pins. And classic games mainly 60 in1 type.

Ah shame, hopefully it improves.

Anyone know what Rochelle Humes was upset about by the way?
