Predict season 5 lineup poll.

[Kratos3]

If the next one is indeed Judge Dredd, this is shaping up to be a really solid season.

 

[David Pannozzo]

Kratos3, if it isn't Judge Dredd, then the only other possibility would be a very surprising Dirty Harry. So we have No Fear, if it is Judge Dredd, then hopefully we will be getting in season 5 TX Sector, Hurricane, and another wanted table Rescue 911. The last 2 should be a surprise like maybe Mousin' Around, and The Last Action Hero.

I wouldn't mind flash gordon it's a challenging table

 

[Kratos3]

OK, so I didn't even consider Dr Who to be within the realm of possibility. I'll back it for a copy.

I would imagine that eliminates TSPP...which is too bad because I'm a huge Simpsons fan.

Fireball is, in all likelihood, part of the next pack of 2(!) EMs. I never even considered El Dorado.

Dr Who is tentatively penciled in for September (according to the KS page), which would put it firmly in Season 6.

Another nugget from the KS video was footage of Hurricane being disassembled, so that makes Hurricane a lock, most likely for pack #47 (after the EM 2fer).

Good point on Dr Who. I'd still say TSPP is still out for this season.

I'd like to see Hurricane. I think I voted for it, actually.

God I hope Hurricane is not in season 5. I have played that table a lot and think it stinks. Artwork is ugly (and actually racist on one spot) the music is annoying and it is far too similar to Cyclone which is a dud in my opinion. This season has been weak, after the 2 old tables coming up they need something slick and fancy.

I didn't notice this. Where is it racist... On the playfield or backglass?

 

[Rich Lehmann]

I mixed it up with Comet I think. All those tables (cyclone, hurricane, comet) look and play so similar, I'm not a fan of any of them. There is a big lipped buckwheat looking kid on the backglass. The little kids all noticed it immediately, and asked why she looked that way. An adult commented that people found that funny in the 60's and I was like, "Yeah, but this was made in 1985."

 

[David Pannozzo]

Well after Hurricane, it will be probably Rescue 911 for March, then Alvin G. Soccer for April, and last but not least to end season 5 with Tx-Sector. Then we'll start from scratch.

I never knew a pinball machine could be 'racist'. Anyways, I absolutely love it that 'Doctor Who' has succeeded.

Thank the maker! It'll be nice to actually guess what's coming again.

Judge for yourself.

I constantly see worse on Twitter (now a days). That is, the n-word, 'you hurt my feelings', political correctness, black-on-black crime. However, nothing was said during earlier generations; "Star Wars", tv series & all. IOW, politicians usage of it is due to their own egos; votes & all. Just food for thought. Pinball has nothing to do with it.

I don't think it has anything to do with political correctness. The table was at a house I rented and the children ages 4-6 immediately zeroed in on it and were bothered by it. It's just mean, look at it.

 

[Fungi]

That's Python's work. He has... questionable taste.

 

[Kaibun]

We really need to do a Season 6 poll now.

 

[Rich Lehmann]

What do people think the last 2 will be?

 

[Snorzel]

^ A.G. Soccer Ball and TX Sector

 

[tomwaits]

Aside from licensed tables, are there any high profile tables left that would attract buyers for season six? Season five started out with a couple popular tables but I can't think of many more tables that would even have the limited casual audience appeal of those two.

Doctor Who will be good, and I'd still like to see Sorcerer, Eight Ball Deluxe, and Comet. But, it's hard to predict a season six that would appeal to anyone beyond the hardcore audience... or be commercially viable. Maybe that's why they're finally finishing the Wii U port? Is the well running dry for Pinball Arcade?
