The Wizard of Oz 75th Anniversary Edition
About This Machine
The Wizard of Oz 75th Anniversary Edition, designed by Joe Balcer and manufactured by Jersey Jack Pinball, is a significant addition to the world of pinball. Released in 2014, this machine marks a major milestone in the classic tale's history, celebrating its 75th anniversary with a unique blend of nostalgia and innovative gameplay.
One of the standout features of The Wizard of Oz is its complex and dynamic playfield design, which incorporates five flippers, four pop bumpers, three slingshots, magnets, VUKs (Vertical Up-Kickers), a drop target, scoops, ball locks, spinning targets, rollovers, and a shaker motor. The machine's multiball capability adds an extra layer of excitement to the gameplay experience. A notable aspect of this game is its use of RGB-LED lighting, providing vibrant illumination to the playfield.
The Wizard of Oz also showcases impressive design and artistry, with intricate details such as molded castle walls, motorized doors, and a colorful Rainbow standup target array. The Winged Monkey moves along a diagonal track on the back wall of the playfield, delivering balls to the upper left mini-playfield, known as The Witch's Castle. This area features two motorized castlegates that open inward to reveal a scoop after repeated bashings from the ball in play. The machine's high-definition LCD display and 7-speaker digital audio system provide an immersive experience for players.
