Here’s something interesting that came completely out of nowhere for me. Apparently a brand new pinball company is going to make its public debut at the upcoming Chicago Pinball Expo next week.
I just found the Company’s website this morning. I don’t know anything more about it than what’s on the site. Here’s what it says:
“Welcome to Wonderland Amusements, where we’re reimagining the pinball experience for the home. Our mission is to make high-quality, affordable pinball machines accessible to everyone, combining classic craftsmanship with modern technology. Led by a seasoned team of industry veterans, we’re committed to bringing the fun of pinball to a new generation of players.”
The site also contains a list of the people who are involved in the project. It looks like there’s a couple of former New Wave Toys and Arcade1Up people.
I have family plans today, so I’m going to have to dig into this later but I wanted to get a quick post about it out there. If anyone knows more about this, please reach out to me at knapparcade@gmail.com . Or even better, if you’re with Wonderland Amusement’s, shoot me a message :) .
Is this going to be real pinball, or virtual pinball? And on that "long list" of expensive mouths to feed, i didnt see one name with pinball experience.
How deep does the rabbit hole go?!?
I’m gonna go with a vpin if it’s New Wave and 1UP
