Pinfest Picture Thread 2023

MajesticPinball · Aug 28, 2023

Fantastic Pinfest this year, gets better and better every year - and the best part is the Gottlieb Garden is growing with every passing year so thank you to all the Gottlieb weirdos who brought games - 13 this year including the comp games!!

Mystery Castles first UK outing went almost perfectly besides a few issues on Friday night and racked up 500+ games so I'm immensely proud of the most beautifully unreliable machine I've ever had.

Thanks to Phil and the entire team for putting up with us and for providing the biggest and best public pinball event in the UK. It's been so good catching up with all the familiar faces as well as a few new ones

That was my favourite machine of the weekend

Colywobbles · Aug 28, 2023

Was lucky to see Garry play the DP challenge and get the top score and what a game he had. That Boys got skills.
Managed to catch him heading home and grab a fan pic.
Also left with a different pin I arrived with which was a bonus.
What a great weekend and although as usual I didn’t play enough pins it was made up by the great company and and nice to put faces to the names.
Apologies to those I didn’t recognise or manage to catch up with as it seemed to be over in a flash and quite manic at times.
Roll on next year and I for one vote @Big Phil for a kings nighthood for services to pinball

I think the boys finished with a wrestling move at the end

And the fact Rocky said hello when I said to say goodbye

So many amazing moments over the weekend. One day my little lad Charlie will realise the significance of the game he is playing in the pic below, thanks @myPinballs for bringing it along, amazing. A personal highlight for me was the OG UK GOAT @PinballNews back playing in the Open after many years out of the game, what a beast qualifying on one ticket and then facing my bro who squeaked into qualification in 24th spot, awesome

My youngest Rocky is football mad and absolutely loved that WCS.

It played beautifully. Sadly my girlfriend thrashed me, which turned out to be a bit of a theme for the day

Wow

MG was so steep you should have asked 7ft Steve to wipe the top of it!

Not that I have any idea whatsoever what that website is for. Honest. Really.

Is this linked to the VIP package? If so sign me up for 2024.

Don't know, but I'm guessing to release the trapped ball from behind the targets in Queen's Chamber?

Nope, back glass lock down bar had become detached from the end of the lock in centaur so we couldn't get the glass out to remove the head.

Rear entry to the backbox achieved through a vent hole using the new tool to tilt the bar backwards to get the glass out.
