Jack and the crew at Jersey Jack Pinball have sent out big update with some impressions from a happy new Wizard of Oz pinball owner and his two happy kids proudly taking a picture. JJP have also included a sneak peek at the lower playfield section of the Hobbit pinball machine currently in the design phase. With some unique features not seen before like the slingshot mounted articulating axes, long-since-seen outlane kickback and what appears to be another long-missed and unique feature, a cross playfield trajectory shooter lane instead of the usual straight to the back shot.
Look for the rest of the announcements including the addition of Lloyd Olsen to the technical support staff and a link to the JJP E3 video produced by us here at performancepinball.com
Greetings Pinball Fans,
Busy, busy at JJP! Every day we continue to build and ship games and here is a recent post in our Jersey Jack Pinball NewsGroup:
"I rolled mine out of the box tonight and it played perfectly. Had a few friends and family over - some pinheads, some not. We all had a really good time. Lots of oohs and ahhs. Lots of laughs. It played great right out of the box. However, given all the coil adjustment options, I won't be able to resist tinkering with the settings to see if my setup benefits from boosting or cutting power to various coils. Amazing to have this level of control.
The lighting is stellar. I especially love the color sweeps when hitting various switches. Its a brilliant effect that wasn't really coming acrossin some of the videos I saw. Great sound system. The LCD is an absolute game-changer. People had nearly as much fun watching the cool stuff on the display as they did playing the game. Best score put up tonight was just under 170K with Lights Out, Welcome to Munchkinland, Rescue, and Emerald City MB all played.
Its an absolutely gorgeous game seemingly built to the highest quality standards. I'm so thrilled to have it! Owner game #19"
Tyler and Madison had a blast helping their Dad unbox their LE WOZ!
Hearing the reactions from WOZ Owners when they receive and set up their game will definitely NOT get old! When you receive your machine, if you'd like to email us a photo of you and your game we would love to put them up on ourJersey Jack Pinball Facebook Page.
Joe and the Team are going full out on The Hobbit Trilogy. Joe says "This design is going together better than any layout I have ever done. It will include several different elementsthan my other games. It is a more expansive flowing game with fast shots and multiple ramps. The main mechanism is Smaug which will be very interactive. The game includes subways and a mountain-scape. Aside from WOZ Joe has designed some of the best loved highest earning games including our own TheWizard of Oz, The Simpson's Pinball Party and South Park. Joe continued; "We are all having a lot of unexpected fun creating this game"

Lloyd will also have a WOZ at his location and he can be reached after June 1, 2013 at[emailprotected]and at 888-730-5225. Much more on the support of JJP games will be announced within the next two weeks.
