Surf 'n Safari
About This Machine
Surf, designed by Jon Norris and manufactured by Premier Technology (Gottlieb) in 1991, is a solid-state electronic pinball machine that embodies the thrill of an amusement park safari. As one of the many pinball machines released during this period, Surf holds significance as a representation of Gottlieb's focus on innovative gameplay features and captivating themes.
One of the standout aspects of Surf is its diverse array of interactive elements, which create a dynamic experience for players. The machine boasts two flippers, three pop bumpers, and multiple targets – including 3-bank drop targets, kickback targets, vertical up-kickers, and a roll-under spinner – all contributing to an immersive gameplay environment. Additionally, the presence of stand-up target and skill shot from the shooter lane adds to the complexity and challenge for players.
The safari theme is visually stunning, with vibrant colors and detailed artwork that immerses players in the world of an amusement park water ride. The machine's design captures the essence of a thrilling adventure, inviting players to embark on their own pinball journey.
