Pinball at funfairs

[Sgt GrizZ]

As I sit here nursing a hangover I can hear the funfair in the park near us.

This got me thinking of the big funfair on Midsummer Common in Cambridge, years ago now ...mid 80s. I remember in the arcade truck pumping loads of coins into Gauntlet, Space Harrier ......and a Haunted House pinball ! I know it was HH because my brother and I thought it was the coolest thing ever trying to get the ball down into the basement playfield.

Happy days.

I've never seen a pin at the fair even back in the day

Can't say i've ever seen a Pin at a fun fair either.

 

[Paul]

Nor me!! It's just you old gits then

The fair that tours near me every Easter had a battered BoP with no legs (just sat on large block of wood) until about 10-15 years ago in its "arcade".

Regards,
Dan.
