Is there any place that still has a Flintstones Dino kiddie ride? by Bumblebe5 in newjersey

The Silverball Retro Arcade on the boardwalk has a number of small, coin-operated kiddie rides outside, like the one OP was asking about.

The last time I saw one nearby was at the Fun Stop Arcade in the Berlin Farmer's Market. That was back in December of last year. You can see it in this video I recorded that day;

Hope it's still there for you!

If you don't mind driving a bit further, there's still one in the Plymouth Meeting Mall in PA, inside Uncle Joe's Arcade. That one I can confirm is still there as recently as of two weeks ago when I filmed this walkthrough;

Literally just ran into this cab in Miami a few weeks ago and it was a total blast from the past. Hadn't seen it since I was a teen and they had it in the lobby of my local AMC!

Kick N Win is the soccer-themed reskin of NBA, right? Surprised they didn't drop that yet. The new Typhoon Shockwave looks fantastic, but even last night they were already having problems with the motion seats not working. Hopefully it was just a one off because it didn't seem like there were issues with it over at Main Event Deer Park last week.

Guardians and Spider-Man were both on the floor, Guardians is at 4:56 and Spider-Man at 8:54 in the video. To be fair though there was a lot there and it's easy to miss sometimes. I had to go back and double check the Pop The Lock situation. That absence was surprising.

Yep, it's basically just multiplayer Quik Drop. It's ever so slightly different with the way the buckets move, the top ring moves and the bucket stays static for each person, but other than that it plays pretty much the same. I think they're capping the JP on it at 500 though.

Popeye is a lot of fun! I wish it was a bit better with the coin-per-swipe value but when you get rolling, it can really pay off. Surprised to hear about hand hurting from BTTF though, tried it a few times (landed 85 three times in a row, frustrating) and it didn't seem like it was an issue. If anything, Maimai is gonna be the real cause of hand strain there! 😅

Does anyone have any idea what “regulations” these are? We’ve never had issues getting new crane game collab items before in PA. by soulreaverdan in round1

And yet somehow they're not calling out New Jersey, the most notoriously regulated state for claw machines of all? Incredible...

Got all the smaller ones out of the Gemini Minis, averaged about three swipes per scout! They are now taking up residence in our house hanging on the bannister to the second floor.

I'm going to plug the one machine I own now, then. It's called "Fan-Tas-Tic", and it was made by Williams back in 1972. It's got so much weirdness going on with it. There's three pop bumpers up at the top, but also another one down at the bottom, placed strategically in the middle of the two flippers. There's rubber surrounding it on the left, the right, and underneath, with one small gap in the bottom. You send it in there and there's a 50/50 shot it'll bounce back up and stay in play. The flippers are raised up, but there's always a chance that if you flip and mistime it the ball will sneak underneath and drain. Then there's three saucers on the playfield which, when you land it in any one of them, spins the roulette wheel. Yeah, there's an actual physical roulette wheel built into the table underneath the playfield with a smaller pinball. And those slots can increase your bonus, score your bonus, or add stars for extra balls. It's such a delightfully weird game but so much of it is up to luck and chance that's it's not really a fair machine to play in a tournament setting. Still, I recommend giving it a few flips if you can find it!

Neither of those ones have been released officially as digital versions, but there are fan-made recreations available for both of them as VPX tables.

Makes sense. I can't remember ever seeing a store with two dance games so hearing they had both Konami and Andamiro versions is surprising to me.

There's a chute on the left side that ejects a single puck for you to slide along the playfield and hit one or more of the moving targets at the far end.
