No freaking way, worst show ever!  Not wasting my time with Rochester ever again.

I'm going to Pinball at the Zoo the weekend after.

Adam, is it WAY better than Rochester? Like, is it worth the EXTRA 6 hours of driving?

thanks for the info.

I haven't been to PATZ in a few years, but I would say that they are similar in size. Adam is only going for the Tournament aspect, so if you don't care about that, stick with Rochester.

I've never been to the 'ZOO", but I will validate Adam's claim that the Rochester show sucks.  Went there 2 years ago and even though I was new to the hobby and very excitable,  I felt that it was not worth the 3 hour drive. It kinda blew.  I'd say, its about 30% as interesting as Allentown.

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.

P3 is the worst tournament ever run, no one in the competitive pinball community has a good thing to say about P3 that I've talked to.

Andy Rosa is running the tournament at PATZ, Andy is a competitive player like me and knows what it takes to run a good tournament.

Compared to Niagara Falls? I ask as this is the only show I've been to as of yet and it was pretty small. I wouldnt drive all the way to Rochester for that.


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