for those interested I just found out that Ben Heck's board set - the pinHeck Board Set is being used on the this game as is in the America's Most Haunted and Pinball Zombie's From Beyond the Grave (which is still in proto-type stage). At the recent expo the board set played played over 700 games without fault in the Pinball Circus proto game.
Yes, you are correct the pinHeck board set is being used. It is a good fit for this game as it will allow us to economically put more flippers (7 total) and switches into the game. There were 3 roll-out games at Expo, The Big Labowski (great game), Hobbit (really needs help to be a good game) and Circus (the best of all but I am biased). Of the three the Circus was the ONLY one not to have a single electronic nor mechanical failure. In over 700 plays we only had 3 ball sticks which was our main concern as we had just installed two completely new shots (one a new ramp) just hours before the roll-out. We had no playfield plastics nor ball stick guards on the machine at all and yet we only had 3 ball sticks. The other two roll-out games were having issues with mechanical and software glitches the entire show.
We have many new exciting features that will be coming to the game soon. Pythons goal was to have this machine be the "Greatest pinball show on earth".
Cheers,
