Lost game at Cedar Point

Last time I made it to IB they had a Fascination parlor there, and I think I spent at least one-third of my time at the park in that room. James K and I were even warring with kids trying to see who would get the most wins. Then, it happened. Someone on the other side fo the room won, and both factions joined forces to smite our enemies...

I have no idea how much I spent there, but it's topping my list right now of reasons to go back.

joe. - when you were at IB was the Fascination parlor run by two old women with raspy "I've been smoking all my life" voices? They were there on my visit and they were a HOOT! The seven of us would joke with them - sometimes making sexual innuendo about "getting the balls in the holes" - and they would just the funniest and raciest comebacks!

As fun as the game is a good host can make it even better ;)

I'm pretty sure SFDL still has theres. If I remember correctly its near the exit to Viper.

Wildwood has two places on the boardwalk for Fascination. One is Olympic Casino, directly across from Morey's Pier. The other is Flipper's at the other end of the boardwalk by Wild Wheels.

The Olympic Casino has been there for years and is one of the nicest redemption arcades you will ever come across. People say that Fascination is dead, but every seat in the house is full on weekday evenings, and come Friday and Saturday, you'll be waiting to sit down. The place is even open on weekends during the winter when everything else is closed!

Its a fun game if you're patient and don't lose your temper quickly! And yes, it is addictive- especially two-ball coverall!

especially two-ball coverall!

I play that game at home! ;)

I was going to edit that after I posted it. You'd think I would have learned after all this time ;)

CB Rule #1 - Never leave Moosh an opening ;)

Um........nevermind. :-x

;-)

I will just let that one speak for itself. Hee hee.

Thanks Moosh... the soda I was drinking almost wound up on my monitor thanks to that comment! ;)

I am *NOT* patient, not by any stretch. By the same token, I don't see myself as having a temper per se. That isn't to say that there was ANY lack of adrenaline during that 4-hour marathon at Morey's....just no fighting, LOL.

Thanks for the set-up, Rob ;)

Gator...watching you play Fascination was one of the highlights of our ConQuest.

My question above may not have been noticed...does anyone know if Arnold's Park has Fascination?

I can't begin to imagine how much that marathon cost! $.20/game x 1 game every minute or so = $$$. Unless they were running one of their famous specials.

Sorry Moosh, I didn't see your question. I'm not sure if Arnold's has fascination. The only two parks I know of that still have it are Knoebels and Wildwood (not a "park" but you get the idea). But perhaps someone that has been to Arnold's Park knows...?

Thanks, Rob. My question wasn't directed at you or Gator...sorry it seemed that way.

I knew that... I was just trying to display some wisdom when I really had no wisdom to display.

Dommerie *might* know....she's been keeping a low profile though, LOL...:)

She's never been to Arnold's Park...but that is about to change ;)

Mamoosh,

Are you talking about Arnold's Park in Iowa? I need to get up since I am from Iowa and need to get up there in case they close down.

Crazyfor - yep...that's the park I'm referring to. Have you been?

I don't know how Fascination is at other parks, but if I remember it correctly, at Americana/LL, there was no slot to insert your money into. You just put your nickels on the glass and someone came around and picked them up before each game. Good times.

Wildwood used to be like that until a few years ago. Now there are machines that you put your tokens into and one gets "sucked" down each time a game is about to start.
