Pins in skegness

[marcgatward]

Hi all I'm of to skeggy tomz for a stag do for 2 night is there any pins about up there?

if you’re on a stag do you should be looking for something other than pinball. Madame Creosotes dungeon on the high street in skeggy is a good place to start.

There was an AF on the pier last time I went but that was maybe 3 years ago now.
Not in great nick to be honest.
Maybe someone knows if it still there and maybe cleaned up?

Great to finally see some local pins back in Skegness!



All play well and are located in the Pier Arcade bottom floor next to the bowling.

I know Star Wars is pretty high scoring but still hit my first 1B+ score ever on a machine felt pretty great, now if only I could get that on my home Star Wars!

Has the worlds most broken TAF finally been retired then?

I was in there yesterday and spoke to one of the ‘engineers’, apparently they are going to rebuild TAF. How bad was it?

 

[VLAGAS]

Good to know ! Will have to go track them down

I was in Skegness 2 or 3 weeks ago and popped in to the arcade. I also asked if they had a pins. I must have chosen the wrong "attendant". I had to explain what pinball was!!

 

[VLAGAS]

Pins now officially gone from Skegness

 

[Max]

Damn it.. Was that from under the Pier arcade, in the bowling alley?

 

[VLAGAS]

Yeah those ones, they did move to the top floor but now gone completely. They said replaced with some other arcade machines for summer

There used to be a few in the arcades out by the Fantasy Island fun park with the roller coasters (past Butlins) 4 in one arcade and 2 in another. That was just before COVID so who knows now.

I went on the hunt around there last year and only found three pins upstairs in planet fun - BMTDK, Elvis and I think it was Shrek. All were broken, sling rubbers snapped and just lying on the pf, balls stuck, broken mechs and visibly nowhere near level.. I guess the techs in these arcades just don't know/care enough these days
