Fabulous! Thanks for posting, particularly the pics. The restorations of those woodrails is amazing.

Wanted: GTB Aquarius backglass. Any playfield bits and backglasses from any EMs - nothing is junk to me.

Big thanks to Pinballer (Stu) who was kind enough to let me republish his story & pics on JustOneMoreGame,
and yesterday.. I put up a followup story... with contributions from Michael Shalhoub.

There's some concept art for the building and a couple of lovely photos
with the legendary designers whose work will be celebrated in the museum.

Here's the update.

*If you've got Michael's 3rd book, you've probably seen these shots,
but many people may not have seen them.

My life's ambition (pinballwise) is to  fly over to Queensland to:
(1) Visit what promises to be just the most amazing arcade museum in Oz.
(2) Get on a BIG roller coaster so as to discover how it feels to be a pinball.
Your post has whet my appetite all over again - I hope things come to fruition before I hit my sixth decade.
Might just squeak it in by the looks of your report.
Thanks for posting and please keep us in the loop!
P.S. keep the pics coming.  $#$ $#$ $#$

1) How long until your 50th? I think this thing is going to take years to come to a point where it is up and working, with all the work involved in getting it off the ground, council approval and so on.

2) According to my sources Lethal Weapon at Movieworld is the most pinball-like!

My guess is late 2011 or early 2012.

Here's hoping I am wrong!

Actually, It will be my 60th  !!!
I have two and a quarter years left to go.
Thanks a lot for the tip about the LW roller coaster.
Perhaps I will get to pinball heaven first -  the 'coaster ride may expedite that.

Oops, misread the bit about sixth decade and saw it as fifth (or something like that!)...

If you have 2 1/4 years to go you could be in luck!

Let's hope it is definitely built and open by the time your 60th comes around.

Australia needs a pinball museum.

Gees I hope this project comes to fruition especially now that pinball is making a strong comeback.
