Theme:Circus - Carnival
Notable Features:Flippers (7), Pop bumpers (4), Drop targets (3), Kick-out hole (1). No left outlane. The lower playfield has three flippers: two are offset and a third one rests vertically nearby, for flipping balls that drain from the Ring 3 playfield via the corkscrew habitrail. Flipping a ball on the lower playfield up the left center ramp delivers it to the Ring 2 playfield where its one flipper is used to flip the ball up a ramp to the elephant's trunk. The elephant then raises its head to roll the ball along its trunk to the habitrail behind it, routing the ball to the Ring 3 playfield. This playfield has one small flipper and a mini-slingshot kicker in place of a left flipper. A skillful shot up the rear ramp of this playfield delivers the ball to a magnetic ball lifter which elevates it to fall into the clown's playfield. Two small flippers on this final playfield are used to score the three drop targets and to score a jackpot behind them. After jackpot, the ball is returned via habitrail to the right flipper on the lower playfield.

Steve Kordek said in his interview with Clay Harrell something about 1.5 Million Dollars (included the development of course).

Just got done playing this one at the Pinball Hall of Fame in Las Vegas...fun game, $1.00 to play, and get lots of plays. Lots of incredible games there.

Even if Bally massed produced this, it probably would've had a run of maybe 500 machines, tops.

The manufacturing costs for this would've been astronomical. Not to mention maintenence costs..

Would've been a great table, though. I hope I can get to Vegas to play it one day.

[RichlandHillbillxc42]

it is obviously a 1990's model game with the dm display and complexity of the playfield.

I am sure it would be a bear to shop or repair.

How much is this thing worth. Only two ever made.
