How will they get the car to reach 88mph in the rumoured back to the future pin.

I'm out of it doesn't reach at least 86.
 
The zen studios version has a flux capacitor, when you put the ball in, it spins round depending how clean the shot is, as it spins around the gigawatts increase, repeat the shot until you 1.21 gigawatts. You then get a multiball.
Would be pretty cool if they could implement this on the real pin.

Didn’t seem to make much difference with The Big Lebowski!

Nope but they where funding sales of that machine to fix the cock ups with early adopter paying but never recieving. Which to give them credit they have now provided a machine to all the original orders. Perhaps without that it might be cheaper, probably wishful thinking
 
As long as it has a very very well timed “Great Scott!” Im happy.

And a cool mini game to time a shot with a clock and a lightning strike…
 
Two illuminated lines of flaming tyre tracks up to the delorean would be a cool way to show progress to 88mph multi ball and then release 2 balls from the gullwing doors - that would be sick!

Fading picture timer would be cool for a mode too.

A biff bash toy.

So much material for great modes

I'm quite certain that Dutch and JJP's next games will be spectacular. . . . It's why I haven't purchased Jaws YET! 😬
 
They really need a clock tower at the back of the game and when you achieve something, like hit a captive ball and it sends a 'Tesla' style electricity up to the clock. Now that would be a great moment in pinball.

It would be a really funny move if the designers added the cinema with the Jaws19 shark head and made that shark eat the ball

Apologies to Bttf buffs, but that's one of the few clips from the series that I've seen. Isn't it a similar action to the Thing hand on Addams and the T-rex on DE Jurassic Park, so easily enough done? Though maybe a bit much for a dig at Stern.
 
Yes, that's it - though he states afterwards 'it still looks fake', he seems scared enough while it's happening.

In fact, though, if that was really possible, wouldn't it result in frivolous (and shameless) lawsuits? Along the lines of 'I was so scared I followed through'.
