In a chuck e cheese of all places,ive never seen a pin in a CEC before. This is a fun pinball,love the color and love the little donkey mini pinball in it. Ive sworn off pins but if one would pop up around here resonably priced i would reconsider.
 
Which CEC? There is a POTC at the CEC off of 249 by Willowbrook. There is also a Family Guy at the It'z that's further down 249.

The one at kuykendahl and 1960 they also have a H2overdrive which is also very cool,its like a very updated hydro thunder.
 
Is exactly the same as Family Guy, but much less common.

Never played one myself, but have played Family Guy and found it enjoyable.

Would not own one as I don't really like the theme though (Family Guy).

I have a shrek pin at my CEC. It's kinda cool that i got it new and have been the only tech to service it. I've seen lots of pins get ignored at CEC, I feel a small amount of pride keeping mine 100%.

Ps. The company is no longer buying pins and they will be phased out.
 
Where is your cec? Theres a shrek up at cinemark legacy in plano but the scoop switch is hosed and you cant start multiball or play the mini pinball. Ill swing by with the wife and kids just to get a shot at a working one lol.

In houston at kuykendahl and FM1960,the right flipper is a little sticky but works.

There was a place in DFW that had some,dont remember the name. We were on vacation at the great wolf lodge earlier this year.
 
And on the topic of multi ramp, I had to re-weld mine after about a year. Maybe yours needs a re-weld

Will they be selling them? Even though the POTC at the CEC by my houses isn't in the best shape it is serviced and repaired with some frequency so I wouldn't mind jumping on that if the price is right.
 
Yes. I doubt they will be cheap. Ive been told chuck will pay a company based out of dallas to refurb and sell em
 
Im just going to go to mine in my maintenance uniform and clip board with a CEC work order and explain to the manager that its being transfered to another store,My place :) then Ill tell him that im gonna need some help loading it.

Hopefully its not Oradat. Otherwise they will get sold for double what theyre worth and take 8 months plus to leave his warehouse as hes working on other projects.
 
Pins at chucky get ignored when it comes to repairs. Kids don't know how to play and not many enthusiasts come in for em. A weak flipper or whatever can go for a good week before a customer complains. Which reflects budget priorities: if I spend $$ on the pin, how many people will notice vs. spending $$ on a game that dispenses tickets
 
Funny comment, I have a game room guy who always leaves me notes that the top right flipper doesn't work. Lol, it only has a top left.
