Request Hurricane

[Rudy hates me]

Ok, I've been going on about this one a bit lately, and it seems to be more widely liked than I realised., so I figured if I opened a thread, anyone with some enthusiasm for the table can +1 here, and maybe it'll get noticed by FS. It's a Williams table with a DMD, so it should sell well, and there's no licence, so what's not to love FS?

We had a poll some time ago. You might enjoy reading that thread as well (see below). I'd be in favor of Hurricane making an appearance. In fact I'd like all four of the coaster themed pins.

Comet + 1

Thanks Kolchak, never spotted that when I searched. Wow, landslide for Cyclone! It's the one I haven't played, but would really love for all 3 to appear. Hurricane has good memories attached to it for me though, so it'll always be my personal most wanted of the 3.

One of my local pubs has a hurricane, so I get to play it occasionally. Nice table, I'd like to see it too.

 

[Kolchak357]

Picking one in the poll was tough. The rollercoaster theme just fits pinball so well. It's very easy to imagine the ramps as rollercoasters. Comet looks boring in pictures, then you play it and realize how perfectly the ball moves around the playfield. Cylclone and Hurricane have interesting ramps and iconic callouts. And don't forget Rollercoaster Tycoon with its crazy ramps galore and various modes. A lot of riches in those four pins. If a truck delivered all four to my basement, you wouldn't see me for a long time.

I'm in agreement here. I would like to see hurricane.

I say +1 for Hurricane also, here's a quote "My Grandmother shoots better then you" or "It's Clown Time" and "It's a Clowntasterfy".

Maybe season 4 will be the season of sequels?

Road Show. The Getaway. Earth Shaker (prequel). Jack *Bot. And the entire trilogy (Comet, Cyclone, Hurricane) of Rollercoaster pins. How cool would that be?

(Also am I missing anything?)

(Also am I missing anything?)

Algar, all the Eldorado variations, and some really expensive and currently not possible license sequels; Star Trek (prequel 25th anniversary, and sequel new stern) Terminator 3.

And last but not least the spiritual prequel to HD -- Evel Knievel.

Season 4 should be really good. The quality of the tables will continue to maintain the level shown in season 3 and get better and I know they are very committed to getting some excellent tables released.

Hurricane=center ramp all day. Paradoxically easier with lightning flippers because of the way the sweet spots line up.

 

[DokkenRokken]

Never played it, but it looks like just an endless loop shot table.

RCT looks a lot better, and looks to be the best of the Coaster themed tables.

Was just playing this on VP. Fun table. If it came down to this or Comet I would prefer Hurricane.

 

[HotHamBoy]

I like the idea of having complete series of tables as we do with BK and the Bots. Played Hurricane in Chicago and really couldn't get into it - but I was much worse and less experienced then. I do really like Cyclone and Hurricane has a far less-terrifying Clown face staring at you.

 

[PinBotMan]

+1

Never played IRL but that loop over the flippers is a really neat feature. It certainly looks a bit more complex than Cyclone.

 

[TNT]

I haven't played Hurricane as much as Cyclone but at this point I think I am enjoying Hurricane more. Both tables are great.

 

[Zaphod77]

hurricane sems more complex until you realize you just need to loop the center ramp till the cows come home for millions.

 

[TNT]

But it's an unlicensed DMD!

 

[EldarOfSuburbia]

Hurricane was the table that got me started. Needs to be in TPA.
