King Kong Pinball Machine Information

King Kong: Myth of Terror Island offers a thrilling pinball adventure that reimagines the classic 1932 tale for the modern era. The game invites players to join Ann Darrow, Jack Driscoll, and Karl Denham on their journey to the mysterious Terror Island, leading to King Kong's return to New York City with both disastrous and entertaining consequences.

The game has a number of key features. Animatronic King Kong: A custom-sculpted King Kong figure dynamically reacts to player actions, swinging his arms and torso to assert his dominance. Players can summon him by hitting the custom-sculpted Gong bash target. Additionally, when pinballs are locked into a New York City train car, an agitated King Kong will destroy and flip it over to start King Kong multiball. The Pit: Players encounter and must escape danger as they enter "The Pit" on Terror Island, guarded by a custom-sculpted giant spider. This area magnetically grabs and attacks the ball, adding an extra layer of challenge. Biplane Ramp and River Path: Travel through dangerous terrain by exploring the thrilling helix-shaped Biplane ramp featuring a custom-sculpted biplane toy. The game also includes a secret river ball path and river log diverter, enhancing the immersive experience. Four-Flipper Layout: The game features a four-flipper design, offering diverse angles and engaging gameplay strategies. Players can unlock the secrets of the Lost Temple four-bank drop targets with a hidden standup target and navigate into the Kong Cave scoop and vertical up kicker. Survive Kong's punch-back kicking target, which launches balls back at the player. Multimedia Experience: The game boasts original animations, music, sounds, and speech, with original art brought to life by legendary pinball illustrators Kevin O’Connor, Greg Freres, and Jeremy Packer (Zombie Yeti). Custom speech is provided by comedy legend Brian “Q” Quinn from Impractical Jokers fame, along with Rick Zieff, Peter Mackenzie, and Scott Mosenson.
