I don't know the reason kids today don't like them....I would love to see a come back of some new quality machines!
kids dont dislike pinball, they just dont know about it
How cool and smart would it be to site a new movie themed pin at the theatres, whilst the movie was newly playing. How many kids could you get into pinball by having a couple of the latest Harry Potter pins (based on the next movie) on location at the cinema for the movie's release. Kids would eat it up like any other merchanise, but because pinball is new to them it may spark a pinball craze/fad. Video games are old, they are all kids know, give them the new thrill of pinball, with a flashy LCD display for cinematics/mini games and you may get em hooked.
