Any members here been there before? I see where they are open this coming weekend and may have a chance to go. It is 3 hours away and just wanted to make sure it would be worth the trip.
 
From everything I've heard about it on Pinside, sounds like 100% Awesome. Go do a search over there, sure you will find some opinions on it.
 
I have been there and it's worth the trip for pinball. Lots of great games to play and well taken care of. Don't expect to play video games much, when I was there he only had a couple of video games. Pinball was fantastic!
 
Go! Run as fast as you can, hitchhike, use a hot air balloon, just "Run, Forest, Run!".

The place is awesome, everything is well maintained, Chuck that owns it is a great guy, and plenty of awesome titles that most collectors won't hardly let you touch. And if your anything like me, you can appreciate a tilt that is liberal.

Its good shit man. Everyone in St. Louis loves the place, although I havent been there myself but I get to play a lot of pins at work.

I have met people and when I tell them I fix and sell pinballs a couple have brought up CP pinball.



BYOB!!! I think they even have a fridge to put in a couple cold ones but I might be wrong. You can bring your own though.
 
Funny Alky would remember the BYOB thing, I forgot about that part. When I was out that way I had to behave, I was with high school students competing in a robotics competition. I did turn two of the boys into pinball lovers though. One of them told me at the end of the night that he blamed me for his addiction to pinball. Funniest part was he whined the most about having to go there!
 
I have never been, but looking at his website, the place looks awesome. There are a few guys on BYOAC that have been there many times and they always rave about the place.
 
I'm heading out there on Friday if that's when you're going. Been about 10 times and its pretty great, price just bumped up to $15 from 10, but its still a hell of a deal. The only gripe is when dudes hog machines. Generally though that's not a problem, plus there's so much to play that you can't really gripe at all. There is a fridge, 2 bathrooms, and if you wanted, you could just bring a cooler and leave it in your car. There's 3 buildings housing various games. They seem to rotate on a good basis. I was last there in late June, so if there's something specific you wanted to play, I could probably remember if they had it or if you're on Facebook, Chuck the owner is good about responding to comments.
 
Wish I lived closer. Go there any chance you get. Amazing place. Chuck let us spend a few hours playing when I picked up a machine from him.

Up to that point I'd played maybe 1 or 2 of the top 20 games. He's got them all, and then some, in great condition. If I lived in or near St. Louis I might not need a pinball collection, I'd just get my fix 2x a month at CP!
