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!
After spending the past two years sitting on the fence, I’ve finally pulled the trigger and bought one of my “must-have” pinball machines—a Jaws Premium!
I’ve always loved playing Jaws whenever I’ve come across one, but I deliberately held back from buying it because I already owned two machines designed by Keith Elwin. I thought it would be better to have more variety in my collection.
After giving it a lot more thought, though, I realised something quite simple: I like what I like—and I really like Keith Elwin’s games!
There are plenty of machines by other designers that I enjoy playing, but for me, they just don’t have quite the same feel or level of fun as an Elwin design.
That left me trying to choose between Jaws and King Kong. For the two weeks leading up to UK Pinfest, I kept going backwards and forwards and simply couldn’t decide between them. I went to Pinfest determined that I would come home having chosen one.
Thankfully, the pinball gods were smiling down on me!
Chris B had an absolutely stunning Jaws Premium for sale, and it was just too good an opportunity to miss. The machine is in amazing condition and plays incredibly well—it is completely dialled in. I’m not sure I’ve ever played another Jaws that feels as good as this one.
It also came with some brilliant upgrades, including mirrored backglass, powder-coated armour, Stern Expression Lighting and upgraded speakers.
It’s just… WOW!
I feel incredibly lucky to own it, especially as it’s a machine that both Luke and I really enjoy. I think this one is going to get played a lot!
Paul did manage to put a high score on it while it was at Pinfest, though—so my first mission is to blow that score off the board! 🙂
Just installed the Tokyo Neon 4 Theatre Mod from Stumblor Pinball on my Godzilla and wow—this thing pops! Pictures don’t even come close to doing it justice. The build quality is top-notch, install was a breeze, and it blends into the machine like it was there from day one. Stumblor absolutely nails that perfect balance—enhancement without overkill. Another absolute winner, love it!
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.
I just installed Stumblor’s “Godzilla Subway MOD,” and I’m so impressed. It looks absolutely amazing, and pictures really don’t do it justice. The design seamlessly fits in with the playfield aesthetics, making it look like it was originally part of the machine. Kudos to Stumblor for another fantastic creation! I can’t wait until Tokyo Neon #4 is released!
Top quality, easy to install with full instructions, and some replacement graphic acrylics supporting other colours (noticed and black/white design :-))
I’m just hoping that Stumblor will make some modifications for JP2. :-)
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.
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. Col’s Pinball Mods | Facebook
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) :-)
