So, what's your favourite single shot to make in pinball? Could be because of the points it gives, could be a cool animation, sound or lighting effect, could be the flow of the shot itself.

For me, nothing beats the gumball loading shot on TZ, especially if it's with the power ball. The speed the ball flys around the loop is great and the gumball machine is such a unique toy, also love the sound effect 'pop' it makes when a new one is spat out.
 
i have a few -

lock shot on Shadow - looks ubercool, especially when sucked away by the magnet to be followed by that fab laughing into to multiball
SuperJackpot on Creech with playfield multiplied to 4x - the biggest thrill for me so far, when it finally goes in, you know you hit the big one
more that i typed here but then deleted before posting but will probably see someone else post up
 
Most satisfying for me.
Hole in one on NGG. That takes some beating.
+1 with Dan on the Creature super jackpot x4 shot.
also Getaway super jackpot being spelled out, magic.
 
Having all 3 multiballs going on BSD and then making the castle jackpot. That scream gets me every time. A close 2nd is the superjack on T2, the sound and light show reward make it feel like you've really accomplished a difficult feat. Also Making all 3 ramps on White Water at the start of multiball also is really satisfying to do.
 
I have said it before and I will say it again but this time with @cooldan and @replicas agreeing. After all the effort to set up 4x multiplier and find the girl, rescue the girl, get the jackpot and then set up superjackpot, you need to make the same shot into the snack bar but now it is worth so much and boom you nail it. The clunk noise is satisfying, the machine callouts grab you and you drop to the floor weeping, thanking all the people who made it possible.
 
Getting the super jackpot on Getaway with zero time left on the timer usually results in me doing a little dance ( if I'm on my own :p ). Also getting the last letter in RANSOM on BK2K ( exciting music, sound effects, flashers...." Everything is lit " ) is pretty satisfying.

Got to agree with RANSOM. More tables need an 'everything is lit' mode, much better than some of the lame wizard modes out there.

Also love hitting the supercharger on the getaway to start redline mania. Love the way it tells you that everything is lit then starts a multiball.

How about the sudden death million on rollergames without a magnet assisted flip?

But by far the best 'shot' in any game is the 3rd flipper top loop, aka the steve richie loop. Nothing brings a smile to my face like 3+ loops. All with extra speed/spin on the ball.

+1 on red line mania. Actually even locking the 3rd ball and starting regular multiball is very satisfying on Getaway. SR got so much right with that machine, it seems to have just the right amount of depth and fun factor to keep you coming back, not sure I'll ever sell mine.
 
I like the shot that feeds the lock on roller games. It has that magnet the holds it in the position for you.

It's just nice the way it flys around and you get ready to hit it and then remember about the magnet at the last second so hold back. Then ready and poised u just smash the right flipper and watch the ball go up and over the playfield.....

It's easy but very satisfying
 
I always enjoy the rescuing the damsel shot on MM, when the ball flies up the ramp into the back of the game. The rising music starts and you get a comical quip from Tina Fey.
 
Bookcase lock on TAF - such a satisfying clunk!

+1 on this :) The bear kick ramp to electric chair combo shot is quite satisfying too. Others I like are the Final Draw scoop on WCS and the Lagoon Trap on Fathom :thumbs:
 
Loading Torpedo 2 for jackpot on Torpedo Alley.

Most amazing jackpot sequence on any pinball machine ever!
 
Bit sad but as VECTOR is my only working pin I'm a bit limited for choice... but I do rather like the previously unused "Strategy Changed!" speech sample that is used for the Quick Multiball feature on the custom ROM.
