Cosmic Carnival Limited to 100 Units

Suncoast Pinball gave a production update last week on this Pinside post:


Production update: Due to delays in playfield delivery we are a bit behind but still moving forward. Our team is working hard on sub-assembly to help ensure our line can move quickly once we receive our playfields. This week we would like to thank John at Elite Home Game Rooms in FL, Craig at Fun Billiards Game Room in TX and Mark with Doc Pinball in Indiana for their orders. Between all three, five machines are on the way to different parts of the country. Dealer machines are being shipped out weekly so please see your local dealer to pick up a new Cosmic Carnival.

Suncoast Pinball has decided to limit Cosmic Carnival to 100 pinball machines. We are going to fulfill all orders as we are working on machines #2 and #3. We have some very exciting developments we will be sharing in the next couple of months so please keep a lookout for more information.

Jeff talks about Jersey Jack’s new Willy Wonka game and about his love for pinball and potentially featuring pinball on CNET. Check out the full podcast here! The pinball portion starts just under 36 minutes in, and continues for a little under 10 minutes – great exposure for pinball!

UK Pinfest Crazy Addams Family

UK Pinfest takes place this coming weekend, and one of the featured attractions is a one of a kind Addams Family. You play on an electric chair, and there are buttons in the grips which are act as the flippers. It is also believed that the “shock” is hooked up like the shaker motor so players get a shock when that goes off – check it out!!
