I've seen them on quite a few pinball machines (sadly not on my Jurassic Park machine, however).

Anyone remember that pinball game, The Comet?! It had the coolest picture. Who could forget the looks of terror on those peoples' faces? And the ice cream flying in that poor dude's face?! hahaha
Oh yeah BassHedz, that pinball game was the bomb!! I used to spend hours in the arcade playing that. That pinball game was also pretty advanced for its time considering all the options that were on it.

Does anyone know of a website that sells older pinball games such as the Comet? I would love to own one.

Pole Position had an amusement park in the background of one of its tracks. I'm not sure about the year though...1981 perhaps?

And yah...the Comet was great. I was addicted too.

I think it was Pole Position 2 that had the coaster.  I'm sure of it, actually.  It had a round loop, looked like an Anton shuttle.

As far as pinball goes, Funhouse is the best pinball machine I've ever played.  If anyone in Central Ohio knows where I can find one (or ANY good, old video games for that matter), let me know, please.
