Thanks to everyone who gave opinions. I decided to pickup the Rollercoaster Tycoon. The price was right, the condition is great, I love the theme (I'm a huge rollercoaster and theme park fan) and I've wanted a pin for a while now.
Had to drive about 7hour roundtrip to get it. Traffic was awful on the way down so it added an hour which sucked since we planned to go to Ground Kontrol for an hour or so before I had to pickup the pin. Since we arrived so late we got about 20 minutes there. The remodel is great but it was so packed you could barely get around.
It's in excellent shape. Upon closer examination I found some bulbs out so I'll have to fix that. I don't know if it's ever been cleaned or had the rubbers replaced. They aren't bad and the playfield is a little dirty in the nooks and crannies so I'll deal with that soon.
Overall I'm thrilled to have a pin, and my wife an daughter like it too so that's a plus! I may take the translite to the NW Pinball and Gameroom show to have John Youssi sign it.
