It is pretty cool to a rubber duck claw machine like that (at 3:02).

I went to that Theater this past February. I had never seen the Pepsi version of the Coke Freestyle Machine before (which turned out of syrup)! Otherwise a very nice place

Well that's different! That first section at 0:16 didn't exist during my earlier February 2024 visit (they still had tables and chairs there, as it was a second (much more expensive) restaurant for the venue, but seemed to almost never have customers; the only thing that still remains from it is the bar chairs and the bar at 0:24! As for what was the previously the only arcade section (1:50), they used to have 8 machines stacked back to back in a 4|4 configuration with the World Cup Soccer machine sitting in the corner next to the SlugFest where there is now a drop crane inhabiting that spot (2:23). For the prices, I agree with you. The only reason to come back would be to play machines you cannot play elsewhere, but seemingly how The Flintstones machine is (based on your most recent Pinball Map report, stating the conditions I previously reported are virtually unchanged), they don't keep it in top shape despite charging $2 a game for it! I have two questions though: 1st, how was Stranger Things playing? I see its on and people were playing it (sadly not the case when I went) but you didn't put in an entry for it on Pinball Map. 2nd, am I still the Grand Champion on The Flintstones? :) (Will be hard for me to replicate and/or exceed that game, because the fact of how dark the back of the machine is due to most of the lights being out)

Oh wow. This was my first visit to the location, I didn't check it out during last year's trip, so I had no clue that half of it was completely new. Very interesting! Surprising that the arcade games pull in more money than the food service. I didn't get a chance to play Stranger Things personally, since it almost always had people on it, but it seemed like it was playing fine. And I'm sorry, I wasn't looking at the leaderboards so I didn't notice if your GC was up there or not. You should join Pindigo and upload your scores on that app! It's a good way to keep track of them (and compete with friends who you may not see on a regular basis). That being said, when I was back down at Birdsmouth a couple weeks, I did notice your name on the leaderboards for Toy Story and at least one of the Sterns, so that made me smile. :)

@@S1ckH4ndsRBN I can only assume that the second restaurant, located where the second half of the arcade now is placed, didn't do well is because it may have been already made redundant by the bar food restaurant to the left of the entranceway. Also, that people might not be looking to eat at a luxury priced restaurant at a movie theater. Though now that they are using the former restaurant space, I am hoping for more pinball machines (but better maintained, considering $2 a game)! I usually just upload my scores on Pinball Map and/or it gets logged with Stern Insider. My initials for entry into pinball machines with only 3 letters is JTH (my real name initials). I have fun every so often with Birdsmouth in Oceanport. Especially because my wife's kids are night owls (I used to be), so when they visit, it may be until 2 - 3 PM when they are ready to go out and I'm already awake, so I just drive the 5 minutes or so to play there. I like Birdsmouth especially because unlike other venues, the guy who owns the machines actually responds to texts/phone when you tell him something is wrong and he fixes them almost immediately, if not immediately (he actually once drove over the same day and I got to meet him for the first time)!
