Re: The Allentown 2018 thread!
Have only been to last year's shows in Ottawa and Hawkesbury so I'm thinking it's time to check out this one and see how the Americans do it.

They do! You will most likely be playing against Jason unless he can't make it. I 'm usually too busy trying out the new games, getting parts, checking out the mods, going to the huge farmers market across the parking lot, or chilling at the tail gate party in the parking lot planning the après-pinball evening.Murphelman wrote:I'm thinking of heading out there this year as well.

Re: The Allentown 2018 thread!
Stayed there 3 previous times - no problems at all. Now I wouldn't stay there if you paid me. (maybe for a nib pinball machine - maybe)Sparky wrote: Accomodations?
Most in the last few years have stayed at the Comfort Suites in front of Dorney Park, but many had a bad experience last year. The PInfest website has some suggestions and rebates.
Heed the advice of avoiding the Comfort Suites. They handed out room keys to anyone, even if not their room. Management was total buffoons, lied to everyone at every opportunity. Money went missing from a room. Total crap fest at the Comfort Suites. AVOID AT ALL COSTS! SLEEP IN YOUR CAR INSTEAD! YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!

Re: The Allentown 2018 thread!
Air BnBs are really good and cost less than hotels usually. I have been using them for a while now and love them. Just an alternative to getting crappy hotels.

Re: The Allentown 2018 thread!
Seems like there will be a party room with pins setup at the Ramada out near the airport.
I booked a room there at the special show rate.
Gino, is it the same Ramada?

Re: The Allentown 2018 thread!
Cant wait to kill my liver for 3 days. Hopefully the trip this year will not be in a death trap of a car/van. 2 of the 4 times I have gone the ride was barely road worthy.
A few things about this years Allentown I have been looking froward to
