Stern Jurassic Park now in Tilt and Electric Circus!

I need to play this but now the little fella is back to school finding time to get to Tilt is gonna be a stretch and it doesn’t help that the Trainline want £170 same day return.
Someone open a decent pin venue in Newcastle please.
As a matter of interest how was 1st impressions as I reallly fancy one NIB
 
Handy I already had a long standing thing in Birmingham yesterday! Thanks a lot to Kirk for going and fetching the game just so that myself and @Kate Rothwell-Jackson could play it :rofl:

Game shoots really well and much like Maiden, the ball barely stops and the shots flow very nicely. The right orbit (O of CHAOS) is a tight shot so it may be only good games where people get multiball (which is ace). The cab and playfield are really nice as is the DMD although I personally don't like the voice work but I do really like the sound effects. It will definitely have longevity in the home - on my best game I think I only got 3 of the modes on the map and there were lots of other things going on as well so there is plenty in the game to get through.

Oh I did miss one thing off - in a multiplayer game, it isn't overly obvious who's turn it is (may have changed in latest code). If in a 4 player game, there will be four scores along the bottom and the player playing will have their score shown in the middle of the 4 scores larger and their score slot along the bottom is replaced with "You're Up" in either the score 1,2,3 or 4 slot to indicate who's turn it is (see the first photo above and you can just make out "you're up" in yellow text in the player 2 slot)

Jurassic Park will be ready to play in our pinball lounge from Friday at Chief Coffee in Chiswick, West London. We’re located a one minute walk away from Turnham Green underground station on the District line [emoji1373][emoji95]

Game is absolutely immense.
I thought that IMdn was fantastic, due to the amount of time Keith had been working on it (retheme of his Archer project), and was worried that his 2nd game would be lacking - it isn't.

It's unbelievable, even on this code. Anyone want to buy a WPT for 6k😂😂

Thanks . I think you saw today issues we have with coin handling. A different mech in TOM and its now 100% again!
 
premium is one to have though. The dinosaur and the pit make it

two other MBs that are easier than chaos.
 
I met up with Sam yesterday and spent a few hours on JP at his excellent Chief Coffee in London.

Got to agree with the comments aboev that it is a great game with quite some depth and lots of fun. Shots initially seemed quite hard esp the right orbit but after a few games, got into the flow and seemed fine. Also great that there's lots of shots and a different layout as much as is possible. Would highly recommend popping in for a few games.

Many thanks to @Chief for a fun afternoon
 
Played it yesterday @Chief for half an hour. Great fun game, found the closest shots the hardest/most dangerous like the pen on the left. Feed from the right ramp is FAST!

Didn't like when it turns all the lighting off at times (on mode completion?) as it's almost impossible to see the ball, but other than that it's great.
 
Played the LE at the Belgian Open this weekend.

The Raptor Pen is a definite improvement over the Pro.
The moving T-Rex is good, but still looks like $h!t - could definitely do with a repaint, but don't know how easy it would be to remove.
Shooting it into his mouth suffered a few fails, when he did capture the ball, it wasn't so much as thrown from his mouth - rather that it rolled out onto the ramp for a nice feed to the flippers.

The best thing though was undoubtedly the shaker motor (which of course can fitted to the Pro) and the roar from the T-Rex working in conjunction. Brilliant
 
I took a quick trip to Tilt in Brum yesterday to try out Jurassic and was really impressed. Stern sure make fine machines these days and the shots were great. The loop off the right upper flipper is lightning fast.

Then I tried Wonka and to be honest it felt a bit Fisher Price. It just didn’t have the same high quality feel to it, everything seemed big and clunky, and the shots all seemed much too easy. To be fair I didn’t get to hear the sounds, and as I was playing by myself I didn’t get to look at the screen much , and it did look pretty with the jjp twinkly lights, but JP just seemed a much more polished and compelling machine.

Then I went home and played ghostbusters with the new code and the pineapple/carrot flippers and it is fracking amazing now. Love it. Just reinstalling the code with the alternative sound track selection that someone on Pinside did. Much better than the original...
 
@Mfresh hows that gap doing with the 🥕
I’ve been looking at GB for a while but the SDTM has really put me off

The JP does look awesome 👏
 
Quick visit this lunchtime to play jp for the first time at tilt as i was passing from snow hill to new street. Got 449 millions on my 3rd attempt. Was quite pleased with that. Got a crazy multiball with what appeared to be 10 balls. It was fun. Didn't understand much more about the game other than how to start a multiball. I thought the car toy with balls underneath is a bit pointless. But good flow in general. I would be worried about the single post standing on the playfield on the rhs. I thought It would get battered.
Overall I quite like it. But to me there was nothing I looked at on the playfield and thought wow, that's fun.
 
Oh ok. It just seemed to be in the way all the time. It is difficult to select a path when all you can do is bash it and it gets to whatever position it likes. Nevermind, more skills needed.
