<\/div>\n

Greetings from Zen Studios! As you may know, we launched Pinball FX3<\/em><\/a> last fall alongside three great new tables in the Universal Classics Pinball<\/em> collection. Half the fun of creating new experiences based on \u201cBack to the Future,\u201d \u201cE.T.,\u201d and \u201cJaws\u201d came from conceptualizing how we would represent your favorite scenes from those movies in pinball form. Your kind reviews make us feel like we did a pretty good job there\u2014and we\u2019re not done adapting iconic Universal films yet! My friends\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Welcome to Jurassic World Pinball<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t let the name of this three-pack fool you! In addition to Jurassic World Pinball<\/em><\/a>, we\u2019ve also got two more: Jurassic Park Pinball<\/em> and Jurassic Park Pinball Mayhem<\/em>, inspired by the movie that started it all.<\/p>\n

Much like the classic films in Universal Classics Pinball<\/em>, we loved turning our favorite scenes from \u201cJurassic World\u201d and \u201cJurassic Park\u201d into gameplay. And they all feature some epic movie moments \u2013 so hold on to your butts and enjoy some of our favorite examples!<\/p>\n

From \u201cJurassic World\u201d
<\/strong>
Other than watching \u201cJurassic World\u201d again and again on Blu-ray (always a fine idea), we can\u2019t think of a better way to tide ourselves over until the release of \u201cJurassic World: Fallen Kingdom\u201d on June 22, 2018, than to top the leaderboards on the Jurassic World Pinball<\/em> table.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Take a Ride in the Gyrosphere
<\/strong>The genetically modified Indominus Rex looms as a constant threat on the table \u2014 you\u2019ll have to avoid her many times! One of the highlights is our re-creation of the thrilling Gyrosphere ride through the valley taken by the kids in the film. For this mode, the pinball literally turns into the Gyrosphere, and you must use all the power you have in your flippers to avoid the deadly dinosaur. To put it simply: don\u2019t get eaten.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cSee, Charlie? That\u2019s Whatcha Get!\u201d
<\/strong>\u201cJurassic World\u201d surprised us all with Chris Pratt\u2019s character, Owen, having found a way to train \u2013 and befriend \u2013 the deadly Raptors on the island. But they\u2019re not gonna remain friendly unless you feed them a healthy diet of digital spherical steel. Nail those shots, listen to Owen\u2019s dialogue directly from the film\u2026and brace yourself for the Part Raptor mode when the clever girls join forces with the Indominus Rex and decide to turn on you.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Making a Big Splash
<\/strong>Remember that huge aquatic dinosaur in the film that eats an entire great white shark in one bite? That\u2019s the Mosasaurus, and like Owen\u2019s Raptors, she\u2019s also got quite the appetite for pinballs. Hit the shots and enjoy the show!<\/p>\n

And it gets even better! You\u2019ll get an Achievement if you can make this happen by defeating the wizard mode\u2026<\/p>\n

\"Pinball<\/p>\n

From \u201cJurassic Park\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019re truly honored to be part of Universal\u2019s yearlong 25th<\/sup> anniversary celebration for \u201cJurassic Park.\u201d It\u2019s been such a thrill for our team to adapt iconic scenes like these to pinball gameplay.<\/p>\n

\"Pinball<\/p>\n

\u201cMust Go Faster!\u201d
<\/strong>See that conveyor belt? That\u2019s no T. rex treadmill \u2013 rather, it\u2019s a fun way to relive some of the most exciting moments from \u201cJurassic Park\u201d while keeping all the action on the table! The scene depicted above \u2013 where Dr. Ian Malcolm and team step on the gas to escape the T. rex \u2013 is one of our all-time favorites! Of course, the action itself is downright intense\u2026but it\u2019s the actual movie dialogue that really sells the scene.<\/p>\n

\"Pinball<\/p>\n

Stampede!
<\/strong>Another \u201cJurassic Park\u201d T. rex scene we love involved her pursuit of a herd of Gallimimus \u2013 with Dr. Alan Grant and the kids caught in the middle. You know what that means for pinball gameplay, don\u2019t you? Multiball! With the T. rex terrorizing each of the four stampeding dinosaurs \u2013 er, pinballs \u2013 that pass her, you\u2019ve got more to worry about than just making sure they don\u2019t pass through your flippers!<\/p>\n

\"Pinball<\/p>\n

Wrath of the Raptors
<\/strong>And what would a \u201cJurassic Park\u201d table be without the dinosaur that has become one of the most famous and feared cinematic creatures in pop culture today? \u201cWe\u2019re being hunted,\u201d you\u2019ll hear Muldoon say as you face the Raptors yourself, trying to get him and Ellie safely to the maintenance building (spoiler alert: even if you win, only one of \u2018em makes it\u2026).<\/p>\n

At the same time, we\u2019re just as excited about the classic film scene in the kitchen with the kids doing their best to stay alive by outsmarting the clever girls. You\u2019ll need to nail spatulas, ladles, and other silverware in the game to distract them and survive.<\/p>\n

\"Pinball<\/p>\n

And Total Mayhem Ensues!
<\/strong>You won\u2019t be reliving any iconic film scenes on the Jurassic Park Pinball Mayhem<\/em> table, but there\u2019s a very good reason for that \u2013 it\u2019s an entirely original experience! Enjoy all-new colossal moments on Isla Nublar, including a chance to fight a T. rex as a Stegosaurus!<\/p>\n

Jurassic World Pinball<\/em><\/a> is available now and we can\u2019t wait to hear what you have to say about it. Let us know on Twitter at @pinballfx<\/a> and @zen_studios<\/a>, or on Facebook<\/a> at. Also, keep your eyes open for news on tournaments where you can win great prizes, no matter your skill level!
