Ok.

Lonnnnngg ago, while at Hershey Park, Hershey, PA, I "played" this
safecracker "game" (I really dont know what to call it, a 'trial' game I
suppose?). It was a safe with a timer on it. The goal was to "crack the
safe" within a certain amount of time. Which if you did, I =think= it would
open on a spring loaded door and reveal a token or something. I cannot say,
since I never beat it (I was like 7 or 8 when I played it, which would place
it to be atleast aherm, well, 22 or 23 years old). Needless to say, I dont
let things "go" easily! (j/k of course). On a serious note however, I would
like to find what any and all information about this "game" if I can.

I would love it even more if someone has one for sale. Thank you in advance
guys! I'm sure someone on here knows -something- about it.

I think there's more than one. The one I'm thinking of is by Chicago
Coin and I remember it being blue.

Here's a pic of one.

Jim,

Are you from the Hershey area? or were you visiting? That's great to hear
they still have it there. I haven't been there in ages, though, once my
family gets stationed back in Virginia, I'm going to make it a point to
visit the park. The "Wildcat" looks like a very wicked coaster. Ok, sorry
for getting OT guys. I'll see about getting an email to you Jim and thank
you for the info.

Jayson

I second that emotion. Its really sad that some of these older machies
are much better then that modern junk(anything since 2000)in the
arcade.
