  • A Few New Mods for Jurassic Park

    A Few New Mods for Jurassic Park

    Today I installed a few new mods on my Stern Jurassic Park, all from Mezel Mods:

    • Raptor Pen mod
    • Barbasol Can mod
    • 10,000 Volts sign set

    I’ve taken my time deciding what to add, as I wanted everything to look like it had always been part of the game—almost factory-fitted if you didn’t know otherwise. I absolutely love this pinball machine, so I really didn’t want to go overboard or clutter up the playfield with too many extras. For me, mods should enhance the theme without taking attention away from the game itself.

    I’m really happy with how these have turned out. They add some lovely extra detail and bring a few familiar Jurassic Park elements to the playfield, while still keeping everything looking clean and not too over-the-top.

    Exactly the look I was going for. Great work from Mezel Mods!

    Mia and Luke kicking back with a few games of pinball—Luke’s all about Godzilla, while Mia’s heart belongs to Jurassic Park. Who came out on top? We’ll never know… they’re keeping that one a secret 😉

  • Installing Mirror Blades and Armour on Stern Jurassic Park Pinball

    Installing Mirror Blades and Armour on Stern Jurassic Park Pinball

    I added some Side Armor and Mirror Blades to my Stern Jurassic Park pinball machine, and I really like how it looks. The Side Armor from CabCustom is a great product. I appreciated that they offer a customized option, and it’s much better value than the Stern version. The quality is excellent!

    The Mirror Blades from @Silverpaolo are also top-notch in quality, and the communication was great. I was initially worried about the installation, but it turned out to be quite simple, and I think the result is outstanding.

  • Upgraded My Stern Jurassic Park Pinball with Shaker, Cooling Fans and Silicone Rubbers for Enhanced Play

    Upgraded My Stern Jurassic Park Pinball with Shaker, Cooling Fans and Silicone Rubbers for Enhanced Play

    I made some upgrades to my Stern Jurassic Park pinball machine. I added a Shaker from PinSound, which really enhances the experience, especially when the T-Rex roars and the machine shakes. I also installed some coil cooling fans that I got from Wayne on the PinballInfo Forums. I haven’t noticed any fading with the machine yet, but that’s probably because our scores are still relatively low and our gaming sessions are short. However, we’re improving, and our game times are getting longer.

    In addition, I replaced all the rubbers with new silicone ones from TITAN. It was a bit of a hassle because we had to remove a lot of the playfield, including a ramp and the Raptor Pen.

    I thoroughly cleaned and waxed it, and now it plays so well. This game is incredibly addictive, and the shots feel amazing. It’s much more challenging to play and progress than Godzilla, and it’s very different from Godzilla Pin. I’m really glad we chose this pair.

  • Installing Col’s Plastic Protectors on Sterns Jurassic Park Pinball Machine

    Installing Col’s Plastic Protectors on Sterns Jurassic Park Pinball Machine

    When everyone else in the house is asleep, it’s time for pinball. I prefer to have Col’s Plastic Protectors installed on the playfield to add a bit of protection to the original plastics. I think it really improves the look of the playfield by adding a bit more light and colour. I recently added these yellow protectors to my Stern Jurassic Park Premium pinball machine, and I’m really happy with them.

    As always, the product quality is excellent, and it’s easy to install. Now, let’s see if I can break a billion points. It’s a challenging game, but it’s so addictive, and there are some amazing shots.

  • Upgrade with Movie Clips – Stern Jurassic Park Pinball Machine

    Upgrade with Movie Clips – Stern Jurassic Park Pinball Machine

    Integrating the movie scenes into my Stern Jurassic Park pinball machine is an awesome upgrade. The clips really enhance the experience. We opted for the lite version, which preserves the original game rules callouts and truly feels like a seamless integration as if Stern themselves did it. It really amps up the excitement.

    The creators of this movie code have done an outstanding job. It’s truly impressive. Sourced it from Pinside (PoMC) :-)

  • New Pinball Machine: Luke’s Favourite, Stern Jurassic Park

    New Pinball Machine: Luke’s Favourite, Stern Jurassic Park

    I’ve had this one on my most wanted list for some time now, and I’m over the moon to finally have one (JP2). I’m so excited. Thanks to ‘Pinball Heaven‘ for the pin and ‘RetroLogistics‘ for delivery and help with setting it up.
    Every time I played one (at Northern Pin League and at Tilt), it just made me want (need) it more 

    It’s also my son’s (Lukes) current favourite pin, so brownie points with the pick (ended up between this or Jaws).
    So now it is time to play and to mod 

    I think it looks great next to GZ
