My mum is 69 yrs of age. I was talking to her about the Wizard of Oz Pinball last night and she was excited to hear this machine was getting made.
My mum also worked at HOYTS in Pitt Street SYDNEY from 14 yrs of age for many many years just like my Aunty. Mum remembers when the film was first re-released with the very beautiful Judy Garland (Liza Minellis mother for those who didnt know, famous for singing New York New York and many many movies like her mum plus Broadway star all her life.) I think the movie first was made in 1939 and was re-released in techni-color apx 15 yrs later.
Mum said when the film came out, it smashed all box office records. My mum reckons playing the Wizard of Oz pinball would take her back to her early childhood so she definately is looking forward to a game. Man, my whole family is dying to play this game. I showed my ten yr old daughter the original movie the other day and my 2 yr old son sat there fascinated. Wizard of Oz just got some new fans from a new Generation. Thats way cool.
