It's been officially confirmed for a while, but if you mean as next table to be released well that's not official. But along with the hints it's highly possible, yes

It does look pretty good and there isn't a very good version on VP....So I will learn to live with it until Dracula comes next month.
Gameplay notes from a real life player.
The phone should be possible to backhand cleanly from a trap on the left flipper. It should be very HARD to do this shot on the fly, if it's even possible at all. At least as hard as the direct trapdoor shot in funhouse on PC. But if you can trap it, it should be a slam dunk. The phone should also be easier to hit from a trap on the right then an on the fly shot on the right, but not as hard as the on the fly backhand from the left.
The taxi orbit on the right should be possible to backhand from the right flipper from a trap, as it mirrors the phone shot. Whether it goes all the way around.... that's personal preference. If it does go all the way around, it makes abusing the nudge slots for extra balls more difficult, so I recommend that.
The center ramp should be incredibly easy to shoot from either a trap or on the fly shot from either flipper. HOWEVER....a ball that strikes one of the two rubber posts dead center at high speed should bounce back out to be true to the real game. Bounceouts can and do happen on this table in real life, and at the worst possible times. The player must be alert to save them. All three possible ramp exits should be hittable from a trap or on the fly shot from either flipper. Whether or not the shot is direct, or one that grazes the far ramp side and rebounds back is another matter. As long as you can shoot each directly from a trap, and pull off either a direct or rebound shot to all three, the ramp is tuned properly.
Pretty much everything else takes care of itself. If these tuning elements are correct I will enjoy the table a lot.

I've never played one but tables from this era (mid/late 90's) are very polished, I'm expecting very smooth/clean good feeling shots like Champion Pub and Cactus Canyon.
I'm just hoping the game isn't as unforgiving as Cactus, and that it holds my attention longer than Champion Pub (which just feels like a grind after so long). We'll see.

As someone who lives TZ and Ripley, bring on the puzzles. The slot machine thingy looks interesting too.

Guess you will have to wait and see. It is a pretty fun table in real life.

Doesn't play or feel anything like TZ or Ripley's. Can't really think of anything it feels like to me. Plus it's much easier than either of those two.
