[QUOTE="Crawley, post: 99117, member: 2300"] My experience with WoZ wasn't so good. Its at Enchanted Castle in Lombard, IL and they have about 20 pinball machines there (mainly Stern). When they got WOZ they made it the highlight in the room as you walk in. The actual Wizard of Oz movie was being projected on the ball wall behind the pin to get you in the mood. But the room is dark. Normally this is great for pinball machines but the table illumination on WOZ is horrible. The LEDs look fantastic and so bright but the general illumination on the table is terrible. The LEDs apparently don't provide general illumination so there's all these dark areas, particularly right in the center above the flippers. So while playing I was having some major trouble following the ball. One moment you're blinded by the LEDs and the next the ball is falling through a dark area and you're not sure exactly where it is. So its mainly playing by instinct which isn't fun at a $1 a pop. It also felt like the flippers were weak, particularly compared to some of the other tables there. Hopefully they can fix the general lighting issue. I really wanted to play the table but that just killed it for me. That was a few weeks ago and I plan on going back this weekend so will see if there's any improvement. [/QUOTE]
