Fun Park

The Fun Park pinball machine, designed by Ed Krynski and Steve Kirk for Gottlieb in August 1968, with artwork by Art Stenholm, is a charming example of late-1960s electromechanical (EM) pinball design. An Add-A-Ball game with a carnival shooting gallery theme, it invites players to participate in a virtual fairground experience, and with a confirmed production run of just 580 units, it is genuinely uncommon among Gottlieb titles of the era.

Gameplay on the Fun Park features two flippers, three pop bumpers, and two slingshots, providing a dynamic and engaging challenge. Two spinning targets and two standup targets offer additional scoring opportunities, while a maximum displayed score of 9,999 points gives competitive players a clear benchmark to chase.

Fun Park also has an interesting family tree: its replay version was released the same year as Gottlieb's 'Fun Land.' Its blend of carnival charm and target-focused gameplay, together with its low production numbers, has made the Fun Park an attractive find for collectors seeking a distinctive piece of Gottlieb's add-a-ball catalog.
