ipdb.notes
IPDB Careful study of the playfield in the flyer seems to show a quantity of eight flags flying over the amusement park. We do not know if these flags were installed throughout the production run, and many playfields that we have seen do not have all or any of these flags. The flags look fragile enough to not survive the life of the game. As well, some playfields may now contain reproduction flags that have since been made available. The Ferris wheel on the playfield carries the ball for a portion of its rotation. This idea appears earlier on Allied Amusement's 1935 'Barrel Roll'. Included in this listing are three pictures of a game for the Japanese market, coined for yen. The backbox has a spinning light show instead of the mechanical spinning wheel. We do not know how many of these were made. Mark Ritchie told us that he did the voice of the Carnival Barker in this game. The speaker panel on the game shown in the manufacturer's flyer is actually one from Williams' 1987 'F-14 Tomcat'.
