Niagara was tiny, but close enough that is was fine and the tournament was run well so I was happy about that.  

Rochester is bigger the Niagara but really not by much.  More games for sure, but I'd say the number of vendors was comparable

At Niagara there was:

-A guy selling neon signs
-2 artists from CPR with a few small playfield plastic protectors and coin slot plastics and a display of 2 or 3 playfields
-Cointaker
-A guy selling a module to convert a touchscrees to a jukebox

Not a heck of a lot of vendors if you are looking for pinball parts IMHO


Ten SS games...but 8 is my limit!

for parts you are 100% better off going to Allentown ... I think there were more vendors at Allentown than at Expo (or at least it was really close two years ago .. that being said Pinball Life isn't at either show but they do a big one day sale during Expo at their location about 40 mins west of Expo)

It's not an extra 6 hours for me, it's an extra 3.

Personally yes, I wouldn't bother going again, the tournament was the worst tournament I've ever been too.  There weren't very many games in the free play area and the ones around weren't in great shape and there was only 1 parts vendor and that was it pretty much.  

I've never been to the Zoo but I know the guy running it and I know it will be run better then the one at Rochester so I know it's worth the extra 3 hours to get there.  



Thanks Adam, for your description.

The issue I have is that it is 6 more hours for me...
