If JackBot has been confirmed for table 37 then I'm guessing Xenon will be this table.

agreed. I can't see them doing back to back tables that have identical playfields already in TPA. So maybe HS2 caps the season?

We're still missing a Gottlieb. I still think that will be Stargate. Though personally I'd like it to be Surf N Safari.

I'm going with Wipeout or Cactus Jack's.

+1 for Surf N' Safari. Although I'd be fine with Kratos3's picks of Wipeout or Cactus Jack. Never played Wipeout IRL-but IMO trying tables you've never played before is part of the fun with TPA.

Is Stargate just a wild guess or has there been a particular hint towards it?I'd love to see Stargate at TPA.

Stargate is licensed so no way will it be in TPA until/unless a new license deal has been made. Has there been one since the BSD/SST one? I would very much like to see Stargate though.
If a Gottlieb/Premier is made, I would think it would be one of their three remaining unlicensed DMDs: Wipe Out, Gladiators, or World Challenge Soccer. But LCA wouldn't have been made by that rule. Maybe they couldn't find the DMDs, or didn't know about them, or are saving them for later.
Beside Xenon and HS2 (I'm assuming you guys are correct on that one), I might guess another 1980's Williams/Bally like Swords of Fury, Bad Cats, Police Force, Space Station, Big Guns, Mousin' Around, or Jokerz. Or Riverboat Gambler, which used to be pretty popular, I don't think I've seen folks here talk about much it, I don't think it's licensed. I recall that F-14 Tomcat is licensed, can't remember for sure, but it should be up near the top of the list if not.

I want to see one of my favorite games Safe Cracker in season 5, along with Rescue 911, Red & Ted's Roadshow, Radical, F-14 Tomcat, Stargate, Last Action Hero, and Twister.

I have never played Twister (I think) but I would, of course, love to have that one. Whirlwind is fun but is more cheesy than...well..."chasy" 
I think TPA has created most of the tables I have been hoping for. I have played tons of HS2 though and that would be fun, but it really should have come instead of HS1 since they are so similar. If HS2 comes, I wonder if it will be possible to do that nudge trick in which you save the ball from AFTER it comes down the outlanes (it was amazing when it worked but ruined my wrists!).
Where has the "mystery Gottlieb" been mentioned? Wipe out would be fun, strictly out of nostalgic reasons. I remember playing that by the local swimming pool (just like White water) and just the thought of it brings back the scent of chlorine If you say Rescue 911 is fun, I'd go with that as well.
The Shadow and Dr Who has always been the top 2 and I really hope to see them one day!

Wipe Out is a pretty terrible table.
Longtimers to this forum may know I enjoy Dr. Dude and The Party Zone because they take their "radical" themes as a self-parody. This, in return, makes them purposely funny in hindsight.
Wipe Out, on the other hand, takes it's "radical" theme completely seriously. Bright, colorful art, slang sayings of the time... it just feels like Gottlieb was trying to ripoff the above 2 tables long after they were successful. Plus it gets boring to hear whoever that guy tells me that my mother needs to teach me how to ski 100 times in a row.

That's like "Tee'd Off!" No, for the zillionth time, nobody taught me how to play this freakin' game!
Gottlieb's tables in general did seem to have repetitive and boring dialogue. I like them, but they were no WMS when it came to pinball speech.

Ok, 37 is Jackbot, and I think #40 will be Spirit of '76 (Mystery Gottlieb), Which leaves 38 - either HS2 or Xenon. Since we just had 2 DMD's in a row, I'll guess Xenon.
Oops Just noticed I messed up..... We had TAF, Cyclone, now Jackbot. But I'll keep my guess with Xenon.

Wipeout is pretty bad even for Premier. Every cheesy factor from Bally games is overused and overdone up to the point that even mystery rider sounds fine.

It wasn't licensed when it was originally made. However, there's a possibility that FS might need a license to use it in TPA. I doubt it would be expensive at all, though.
