Kevin from SkitB stated this today on Pinside
"The new game is NOT based on Mythbusters or related in any way other than the fact that it shares the main stars of the show.
The Funhouse 2.0 project is a joint project between Planetary, Fast and Skit-B. We are designing and coding the update, Fast is providing the hardware and Planetary is providing licensing support. It is an upgrade for the existing machine and, to my knowledge, there are no plans to remanufacture the Funhouse machines at this time.
We have partnered with JJP for the assembly of Experts of Dangerous ONLY. Meaning not only are they not assisting with any other project we are involved in, but we are also supplying them with all of the parts and hardware to be assembled when the time comes, for which most of the hardware is pre-existing, tested and true. The partnership between Skit-B and JJP is born of the need to inherit each others' strengths and push our hobby to unforeseen levels of quality in the most timely manner possible.
While we are certainly thrilled with the amount of interest we have already received for Experts of Dangerous, we are refusing any pre-orders at this time. This game will be handled with a completely different model than previous efforts, so no money whatsoever will be collected in the name of Experts of Dangerous until we are good and ready"
