Been playing Central park for months now on and off and finally hit the "1,000 in one ball" goal. WOOOOOT!

Battle for the kingdom was really hard to get the first time, but now i get it almost every game due to having played it so much (favorite table). i once won bftk 3 times in the same game it was my best game of digital pinball ever. i usually start of a game trying to go for troll bombs becouse its very easy to loose balls going for those targets, it's almost impossible to win bftk without at least 1troll bomb

I hated this one. I'm pretty sure I just got a lucky ball and got it. It was my last goal and I haven't played it since.

Other notably painful goals-

El Dorado-1,000,000 on one ball.
HRC-super duper ultimate hyper turbo colossal frustrating annoying petulant cow-of-a jackpot deluxe champion edition ex plus.
POTO-5x Million

The HD Milwaukee jackpot killed my interest in the game because it took so long, playing video mode 100 times in that game didn't make it any more interesting. Glad I got that one!

Finally got the El Dorado million-on-1-ball goal, then almost got the 5x Million goal on POTO. Both are still painful goals. I didn't mention Genie since that's the one goal I will never reach.

I can get this-but it requires that I have my best game. Actually, two troll bombs are needed, since the one on the right can trap the ball. If the trapped ball is the last one in play, it will end BFTK by draining the clock. It's happened to me twice, long before I got the goal. Made me almost as mad as that time I scored 2,952,000 on Genie, even though going into my third ball, my score was 2.9M.

Damn, that is some bad luck Genie was the hardest for me from this list. I had 2.9M+ when starting my last ball, and got nervous and drained as I was getting close. Luckily I had enough bonus accumulated to carry me over 3M. Haven't played it since, although I did learn to appreciate it over all the games it took me to break 3M.

The wizard goals that annoy me are the ones that feels pointless, like the FUEL special on Victory - it's really hard, and it doesn't really help your game anyway. Come to think of it, many of the "Get the special" goals kinda suck. Otherwise I love hard goals. 300M coffin jackpot on BSD is a great (and hard) achievement to go for, while also being a viable way to score good.

Getting Central Park's 1,000 points on one ball is very difficult. I can get extra balls, but no matter how hard I try to keep the ball in play it always drains on the sides before I can reach over about 700 points. I also think High Noon is pretty easy on Cactus Canyon, now Polly Peril is a totally different matter. That one is hard! I can hit it up the centre ramp but can't seem to get up the side ramps in time. I must have tried to hit the right ramp three times after going up the middle ramp and it came back every time before reaching the very top of the ramp. Ugh!

The Central Park Wizard goals are probably the easiest of any of the games. I am not a very good player, there are a dozen tables where I can't even finish the standard goals but Central Park I finished out the first month I bought TPA. Central Park is about raising the left and right multipliers. Once you get both of those to the max getting 1000 points on a ball is not that difficult.

polly peril is a pain on the real Cactus Canyon table too, because it locks a lot of stuff out (but not the gold mine, so you can ignore it and try for multiball)

It's worth the risk for an extra ball though. And if you can stack it with multiball, it suddenly becomes incredibly easy.
