Stern Pinball is proud
to announce the release of their new pinball machine, ROLLERCOASTER
TYCOON®.
The ROLLERCOASTER TYCOON
pinball machine is designed by Pat Lawlor Design. Pat has been
responsible for many of the most famous titles in the history
of pinball, including The Addams Family, Twilight Zone, Funhouse,
and his most recent hit, Stern's MONOPOLY. The ROLLERCOASTER TYCOON
pinball machine is made in the great tradition of these classic
pinball machines.
Amusement park theme
games have always done exceptionally well in coin-op. Cyclone
and Comet were among the most successful pinball machines of all-time,
posting strong earnings for many years after their initial production.
Stern's ROLLERCOASTER TYCOON pinball machine takes the concept
of the amusement park to an entirely new and exciting level, and
promises to be a strong earner for a very long time.
Stern's pinball machine
is based on the popular RollerCoaster Tycoon® CD-ROM game
from Infogrames, Inc. RollerCoaster Tycoon was introduced in 1999
and has since sold over 5 million copies, making it the most popular
amusement park game ever made for the PC. The ROLLERCOASTER TYCOON
pinball machine will not only appeal to the traditional base of
coin-op players, but it will generate interest among the millions
who have played the PC game.
Complimenting the release
of Stern's new pinball machine will be the introduction of Infogrames'
RollerCoaster Tycoon 2®, a sequel to the popular PC game.
Featuring 25 roller coasters from five Six Flags theme parks,
the new RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 will produce major media attention
that will make Stern's pinball machine a perfect title for visible
street locations everywhere.
The ROLLERCOASTER TYCOON
pinball machine is endorsed by A.C.E., the American Coaster Enthusiasts.
This 8,500-member association brings together roller coaster riders
from all over America and the world through the promotion of coaster
riding tours, newsletters, and publicity events. A.C.E. members
are so excited to see the new ROLLERCOASTER TYCOON pinball machine
that they will feature it in their newsletters and exhibit it
at their booth at industry trade shows.
To best understand
how the ROLLERCOASTER TYCOON pinball machine works, picture the
ball on a ramp as you would a rider on a roller coaster. The playfield
has 4 roller coasters, including "The Flying Ghost,"
"The Flying Turns," an inverted ramp coaster called
"The Chicago Loop," and the "The Rocket,"
a coaster that blasts the ball almost to the playfield glass before
sending it on a wild ride around the playfield. Other rides and
features include the "Scrambled Eggs" spinning ride,
the pop bumper Bumper Cars, the Handyman drop target, the Maintenance
Men stand-up target, the hysterical Dunk the Dummy side attraction,
and an information kiosk that gives out random awards.
The ROLLERCOASTER TYCOON
art is immediately recognizable by those who have seen the PC
game and is perfect for pinball. Created and adapted by long-time
pinball artist John Youssi, the ROLLERCOASTER TYCOON pinball machine
art features some of the finest ever to be put on a game. The
pinball machine also features the roaring sounds of roller coasters,
as well as fantastic voice-overs and music.
Pat Lawlor says, "The
ROLLERCOASTER TYCOON pinball is sure to be the kind of hit that
will be an industry standard for years to come!"
Gary Stern says, "Pat
has designed a great game, based on a great game. The combination
of Infogrames' RollerCoaster Tycoon game, Six Flags theme parks,
and A.C.E. are sure to attract lots of players. And it's the kind
of title that will have a great re-sale value to operators and
homebuyers alike."
