Earlier this week, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pinball-magazine.com\/?p=3990\">low-res images from a webinar presentation for selected distributed had already leaked<\/a>. The game was announced at 9:30 CST today with a 30-second video in which can be seen how some of the mechanincs in the game work. Here&#8217;s what the Stern website says about the game:<\/p>\n<div class=\"l_m:30-x t_body t_body[md] t_wysiwyg\">\n<p>===<\/p>\n<div id=\"js_11\" class=\"_5pbx userContent _3576\" data-testid=\"post_message\" data-ft=\"{&quot;tn&quot;:&quot;K&quot;}\">\n<p>Stern Pinball Announces New Jurassic Park Pinball Machines!<\/p>\n<p>CHICAGO, IL \u2013 July 26, 2019 \u2013 Stern Pinball, Inc., a global lifestyle brand based on the iconic and outrageously fun modern American game of pinball, announced today the availability of a new line of pinball machines celebrating the iconic film, Jurassic Park. Jurassic Park pinball machines will be available in Pro, Premium, and Limited Edition models.<\/p>\n<p>Like the blockbuster movie, the Jurassic Park pinball experience generates heart pounding excitement as the player progresses through the game. As the game starts, the player is transported to Isla Nublar, an amusement park where escaped dinosaurs are running amok! The player\u2019s mission is to rescue park staff and recapture dinosaurs from the chaotic environment unleashed by Dennis Nedry\u2019s computer virus. All dinosaurs, however, are not created equal as players will battle Raptors and the mighty T. Rex! The game immerses players in the fun world of battling dinosaurs in an action-packed adventure filled with twists and turns.<\/p>\n<p>The Premium and Limited Edition models feature an amazing animatronic ball-eating, ball-throwing T. Rex that interacts with the ball and the player. These models also include an interactive Raptor and Raptor Pen featuring a ball-lock mechanism guarded by a motorized gate. The action does not let up with unique mosquito-in-amber pop bumpers and a custom metal horizontal helicopter spinner.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJurassic Park is a classic film featuring what everyone loves dinosaurs! The game is designed to be easy to play, but difficult to master,\u201d said Gary Stern, Chairman and CEO of Stern Pinball, Inc.<\/p>\n<p>The Pro, Premium, and Limited Edition models also feature a Jungle Adventure Vehicle target in the middle of the playfield that is a spinning Newton Ball. This kinetic target registers direct hits, determines the direction players navigate on the island during gameplay, and lights T. Rex modes. All models include three full sized flippers, four custom ramps, a spinning \u201cSpitter\u201d target, in-lane up\/down lock post that sets up critical playfield shots and distinctive hand-drawn art highlighting iconic dinosaurs from the series.<\/p>\n<p>The Limited Edition model is limited to 500 units globally. The Limited Edition model includes additional unique features such as a sequentially numbered plaque, an exclusive mirrored backglass, exclusive custom themed cabinet artwork, a custom autographed bottom arch, exclusive custom art blades, anti-reflection pinball glass, and a shaker motor.<\/p>\n<p>Complementing the immersive theme and exciting gameplay experience, Stern Pinball\u2019s powerful SPIKE\u2122 electronics hardware system enables high-definition graphics and innovative animations on the video display. SPIKE\u2122 reduces system complexity and energy usage resulting in enhanced reliability and simplified servicing. The state-of-the-art electronic system also powers a high-fidelity 3-channel audio system that is three times more powerful than audio systems of previous generations.<\/p>\n<p>Pricing and Availability:<\/p>\n<p>Manufacturer\u2019s Suggested Retail Price:<\/p>\n<p>MSRP for sales to USA end-users, before any VAT, GST, Sales Tax, Duties, or other taxes.<br \/>\nPro Model: $US 5,999<br \/>\nPremium Model: $US 7,599<br \/>\nLimited Edition Model: $US 8,999<\/p>\n<p>Jurassic Park pinball is available through authorized Stern Pinball distributors and dealers around the world.<\/p>\n<p>About Stern Pinball, Inc.<br \/>\nStern Pinball, Inc. is a global lifestyle brand based on the iconic and outrageously fun modern American game of pinball.
