Been talking with some folks about Sega Galaxy Force II; I recently bought it for my Nintendo 3DS, and have flashbacks of when I played it at Flippers in Town & Country Mall in Kendall, FL (West Miami). It was smack dab right in the middle of the space when you walk into the place, had the plastic chained off area so people wouldn't get smacked by the rotating platform. It was pretty expensive per game, when it did get played it was a spectacle, everyone would turn to play it. Or at least, it felt that way.
There weren't too many of them - Deluxe cabs were $26k and the Super Deluxe were in around $40k (1989 dollars).
Looking through Google and this thread, I've found a few other locations where folks said GF2 was available BITD:
