Wizard Of OZ Pinball

[ddstoys]

Might be the video but it does look slow.   Might be a game I'll be able to play unlike Acdc.

lighting looks impressive, that rear ramp would bug me I reckon.

noticed the lcd was divided in 1/4's - wonder if that was stages achieved in each ball or progress through a story - if either or both - cool.

Woz nearly didn't make it .
From Jack's forum
There's a little story about the game's travel to this show. We had it
flown here by midnight airlines I think. I arrived and was warmly
greeted and then Ron Chan says "you know about the damage right." -
yeah, right I'm thinking. Another guy teasing me. But that's not Ron's
style.
I go into the room where the game is and the box has a hole in it, is
split at it's seam and the pallet is no longer under the box but on
top of the box looking like toothpicks! Really? The game was
definitely dropped.
Everyone in the room with me was looking at the box and looking at me
like they were watching a tennis match for my reaction. We opened the
box, checked for damage and setup the game. Not a bump or bruise on
the game, thanks to Larry's pack job and to the cabinet construction
and probably going to church on most Sundays......the game was insured
for $8000 too but this game is "priceless".
Don't think I'm using the same mode of transport back to the MC but
its good to know and shipping more of these around can only help us.
It's was one of the boxes we rejected in the elimination process but
should have been fine under normal shipping circumstances, whatever
that is.
I was shown pictures of the game's arrival and the driver had it
hanging off the tailgate. If not for the crowd here upon it's arrival
it would have probably fallen off the truck here too...LOL...I'll get
some pictures posted somewhere. Thanks to everyone at PPE again.

it definately plays very slow, maybe it was designed that way to give newbies, and kids a chance to keep the ball in play.

1)    I spent almost six hours straight last night until midnight watching
people playing the game and listening to their comments. Lots of great
stuff.
We set this game up to play at medium strength for all coils including
lower flippers. Even little kids get up the ramp, it's a skill shot
more at the moment although once tweaked up in strength,  even a
halfway shot will get it up the ramp. It's going to kick!
Basically everyone seems to love the game on many levels. I have lots
of notes.
Funny- Ladies are telling their husbands that they want the game and
the husbands are telling me "thank you Jersey Jack, my wife never
asked me to buy a pinball machine before" I have some Dads buying it
for their daughters too, as they watch them play it.
The line is still long now and we noticed last night and today people
wait on line, play their two ball game and get back on line to play
again. That's really cool too.
I bet you put this game in a bar and every girl there is playing it.
I'm going to pack it up in about an hour as I fly home later. Thanks
to everyone at PPE for your amazing support and a spectacular show, we
love you.

2)   If the difference is making a ramp shot more often - and I do agree -
it's easy to increase flipper strength.
We played it here and we were all satisfied that everything can be
made. Martin played and agreed in this mode of strength it was more of
a skill shot - accuracy - than a bash.
Not an issue at all...again, all I said about first impressions,
etc......work in progress. All in all a spectacular weekend for JJP
and WOZ

Greetings Pinball Fans, 
 
JJP had a fantastic time in San Rafael, CA at the Pacific Pinball Expo this past weekend. During his seminar on Saturday, Jack revealed the Wizard of Oz Pinball Machine to hundreds of guests. The game was then set to Free Play, and everyone got a chance to try it out. Jack said, "At one point there were about 50 people waiting in line to play. From young children to WOZ Owners, the game got a great response; it was amazing to see everyone's reactions and hear their feedback. The game was played for eleven hours straight."
 
The Wizard of Oz Pinball Machine also won "Overall Best of Show" at the Pacific Pinball Expo.  There's also some great coverage of WOZ at PPE by Pinball News - http://www.pinballnews.com/games/wizardofoz/index33.html     
 


Jersey Jack Pinball will have a booth at New York Comic Con from October 11-14th! The show is located at the Javits Center in New York City and we will have two Wizard of Oz Pinball Machines in booth #1683! For tickets, visit -

We would also like to announce Joe Newhart of PinballSTAR Amusements as a factory authorized JJP Distributor. Joe along with his son and business partner, Patrick, are located in Dallas, PA and are excited to have this opportunity. Joe says, "I have come to consider Jack a close friend over the years so the opportunity to partner with him through Jersey Jack Pinball was a no-brainer to me.  I am excited to work with JJP to bring Wizard of Oz, a truly game-changing pinball, to the market.
