Title: A cool theme would be a - Hot Wheels pinball
Post by: swinks on December 31, 2012, 06:40:35 PM

Sorry to lure people in as this isn't a actual pinball but reckon it should be - I have been thinking for a while that Hot Wheels would be a cool pin to do using orange transparent vacuum formed ramps and orange wire forms, insert lots of car graphics with various drive sports, street racing with blended in stunt ramp racing.

I saw this video this arvo and thought that a cool tube wire form could be worked into the game sitting back centre like this along with some others.

Another feature could be the classic car motor design installed in the game to speed the ball up to do the ultimate wall ride ramp, the more rotations around a loop sped up by the motor allows you to achieve the most challenging ramp

what features would you have in the game as maybe someone might read this and decide to do the challenge.....

.....I have been thinking for a while that Hot Wheels would be a cool pin to do using orange transparent vacuum formed ramps and orange wire forms, .....

Boy, did that bring back memories of stretching the track across the lounge room, and trying to make them do double loops!!

I thought Stern had hinted at this theme in their Facebook posts. Might come to life in the next few years?

Yes - A great idea. It would appeal to our generation, as we grew up on them, and so has just about every other generation. It involves hot cars - so it will appeal to almost everyone. Best part about it - it is not a movie license !
