8:44
You know, we're not going to do that again. We're going to go left ramp. Let's see if we can hit a helipad on the fly. Woo! That was fast.
8:58
Try this again. Awesome. On the fly helipad. Really
9:10

9:33
Uh we also need the O shot. We've got uh an extra ball still on the right ramp, but there's nothing else on it right now. So, I'm going to be a little patient. Let's go for that O shot. Totally worked. All
9:56
right, we're good. Do I go for the I'm going for the O shot. One more.
10:05
All right, we're giving up on the O shot. So now we're just going to go for helipad or not. Wow, we cannot hit anything suddenly. Patience. Got it. All right, now we got that left ramp. We're starting up this next paddic. So, I was supposed to wrestle this Saturday, but the show has been postponed for a week, and I can't be there because

10:53
All right, there goes the escape. Left ramp set trap.
11:10
Needed to move that. Not a jeep left ramp. Let's see if we can hit this. Set a trap. Set trap on the fly. We did.
11:21
That's not good. Uh, we need the helellipad and we can slow this guy down. Let's see if we can hit the helipad on the fly. Not even close.
11:36
Got it. Left ramp again. We're just going to be patient here for a second. We're going to wait for this dino. Um, you know what? No, we're not.
11:48
Which direction is the dinosaur going? Oh, it's raptor tower. So, let's see if we can hit this raptor tower before it times out. Got it. Dino capture.
12:15
Whatever. That was That was brutal. Just going to hit that shot all day. O shot on the fly.
12:29
That was cool. It's always cool when you hit that OOT. Ah crap. We're facing uh towards the wrong dino.
12:44
That's a twofer right there. We just started a T-Rex mode and we started Velociraptor and we are ready to spell chaos here on the helipad.
12:59
That was intentional for sure. Obviously, uh, one velociraptor. There's that S. There's that.
13:31
Got it. Uh, got it. Got it. Easy peasy. Lemons. Oh, man. I was going for chaos there. Good. We've got ourselves a set trap somewhere over there.
13:56
Okay. Do we do it? I think we can hit it. I got I got it. That was so cool. Oh, Jesus.
14:06
Hey, Zeus. I mean, uh, I hope to be able to max out my pinball quota for the year while we're down there. Yes, you have to go to that really cool location, uh, over by Joe. I can't think of what the name of it is, but it's awesome. Eligos, good evening. You rock. Your game moonwalks, too, but mostly left in lane. There's context there that I'm not remembering.
14:36
something. Eligos redeemed a level increase. Here we are in fourth level right now. Is that going to be enough? Oh, we need we need this other set trap. I know I know what we need right now. Get to the chopper. Get to the chopper. Get to the chopper.
14:56
Slow that uh Velociraptor down. Slow the other velociaptor down.
15:09
Sometimes when you're so good, you can make it look that easy
15:15
cuz that's obviously what happened there. All right, helipad gh.
15:27
Let's see. Can we hit the helipad on the fly? Nope. On the Oh, too far. All right, we slowed that one down. All right, cool, cool, cool. Can I have an extra ball? I would love an extra ball in Chaos. That would be fun. Extra ball. Yes. All right, let's hit Extra ball. Yes. All right, let's hit this one. We weren't going to hit it until
16:07
Here we go. Here we go. Got it. Got it. Got it. There. Can we get this helipad on the fly?
16:37
All right, game. Oh, we timed out. Darn it. I'll take that nudge. That nudge was intentional and it worked out for me. They don't always work out like that, but when they do, I'm very happy that they did so.
17:05
All right, there's another T-Rex shot. What do we need? We need raptor. We need chaos. We could work on raptor again.
17:18
Uh, we're going to go for helellipad here. No, we're not. What is that? How many tower shots is that? Cuz I do love my tower shots. Also, we are back at visitor centerachi center. Feeling a little bit better about this visitor center, let me tell you that.
18:10
Maybe not so much the bonus 120, but I do feel better about the fact that I think we're still on ball two with an extra ball. The extra ball may be made up. The extra ball may be made up. All right, it's important that we hit this first one right off the bat.
18:38
Here we go. That I'm just going to let that one dry. Drying. I'm going to let that one drain, too. Got it.
19:35
right, we just needed that raptor tower and that would have been good. We're down to one. There we go. There we go. God, that feels good when you can hit that. I'm going to go there. We got our ball locked. This is good. We're going to complete this one now.
19:54
All right, we got both balls locked. Now we need to hit those shots again.
20:07
And got it. No, it didn't count. Got it that time. All right, we are in victory laps. Really don't care about score though, y'all.
20:25
So, I kind of just want to drain out of this as soon as the uh whatever the the ball save is done.
21:17
Well, that was interesting. I want to hit this escape. Ah, we got it. That was good. All right, so we lit escape and now I think we just need to drain out. We did everything that we can do in this mode.
21:41
Okay, victory targets are done. We uh need to keep working on our T-Rexes. It looks like we have one lit. Done.
21:53
And we have chaos lit. So, we could bring chaos into this. Just like this. Nope. Tower shot 15. We just unlocked our final control room. Uh when we're out of this as well. That's great.
22:20
There's 16 tower shots. We're just going to keep going on those towers. I want to see how many of those we can get. They're so fun. Also, these T-Rex ram, the T-Rex modes can be quite lucrative.
22:37
Uh, left ramp. No, no, no. All right, we had Nedri. Thank you, Nedri. We appreciate you. I want you to know that.
22:57
Time is running out. Cool. There's 15 on that one. This is Cool. There's 15 on that one. This is pretty good.
23:04
There's that. Up and around. A little ski jump over. We'll get that last one for 20 million. What do you say? We collected a fossil.
23:24
All right. What do we want to do? We do. We can work on T-Rexes. And we've got our last control room. Control room. Let's do that.
23:43
Can we collect? No, we can't do anything in here. We needed to do it first.
23:52
So, honestly, we just need to get out of this. We We wasted it.
24:17
All right. So, I can let both of those go. We still have our extra ball right now, which is good. Um, we can work on T-Rexes or control room. How many T-Rexes do we have right now? I don't know. There's one more, though. Stupid escape.
24:51
That right there, people, is museum Mayhem. Look at that. Awesome. So, we're in museum Mayhem here. I didn't move the machine too much. This is pretty good cuz we then have one control room and then we're in secure control room with an extra ball on ball two. So, we do actually want to beat this.
25:21
I'm just going to be patient and wait for it to hit the left ramp cuz we know how much I love that left ramp.
25:36
Awesome. And now we want this left ramp. Got it.
25:48
Ah, we didn't get that one. All right. Where is it? Oh, it must be on the Oh, it's moving around right now. Shoot the green arrow for the raptor award. I'm going to wait for it to go left ramp cuz that's the safest.
26:09
Looks like we want that left ramp again. Really? Now is the time you're going to go crazy up there. Armed and ready.
26:29
I can't believe I actually backhanded that. Uh, we just beat that mode, y'all.
26:44
Um, well, we haven't messed things up to where we can't get to when dinosaurs ruled the earth. Wow. Oh, Brooklyn, thank you. We got two dangers on that. I appreciate that heads up.
27:05
I don't know why I'm doing this. I just I I need to Cool. I need to drain out. Museum mayhem is done. We are now one control room away from secure control room and then we're dunzo. So, here's our control room. Dom, thank you. All the forehands today for some reason. And Irish bringing it back to you. Look at that. You just have to do all the things and the billion points. Very doable.
27:44
Since I can't get points when I want to get points, that's what we're going with.
27:57
Cool. We're going to go. I don't know there. There's a lock towards Raptor. I guess I could try and bring Raptor in. That's going to be that's going to be useless in a minute.
28:16
Um, how much time do we have left? 35 seconds on control room.
28:28
That's a lot of shots I feel like we need there. You know, we're just going to go here. Let's see if we can hit this
28:37
H. There. 20 seconds left. Almost out of time. We got 87 seconds left. 3 2 1. All right. So, that's going to time that All right. So, that's going to time that out. Control room should go. Secure control room over here.
29:29
That was the last control room, right? Are we in a mode or something? What's going on? Game. There we go. Okay. It just really needed to catch up there. All right. There we go, y'all. We're getting to escape Nouvlar no matter what at this point now. But if we can beat this, and actually this is my favorite of the modes cuz it's just hit the blinking shot. If we can beat this, we have a chance uh for when dinosaurs ruled the earth roamed ruled the earth.
30:06
Not going to danger out. Yeah, we don't want to do that, right?
30:22
awesome. Oh, it's the O shot, of course. So, now we're going to go there. And now we're going to try O. Oh gosh, Oh gosh, we Oshi shot ated it. Now we need the uh upper loop.
30:54
Uh, we're just missing stuff right now. That's fine. Oh god, I want that escape so bad right now. On the fly helipad. Got it.
31:14
Oh, it wants me to hit uh Chaos. Can we hit it? Nope. We're going to drain out. Okay. So, when dinosaurs ruled the Earth is not a possibility.
31:36
This game flows awesome. Yeah, when on target, this game can flow like a monster, but we are getting to escape Nublar here tonight. That's That's not nothing.
31:52
All right, y'all. Look at that right there. Look at that right there. That's escape new for you.
32:17
So, remember we got to This is so hard to do to remember the direction to go. It has to be opposite because you want to go back the way you came.
32:45
Really not good. Are you kidding me right now? Just one miss shot. Got it.
32:58
Uh, we're going to go middle. We found it. So, now we're ready to escape. We're going to go up and over. Awesome. We added fuel. And that was 29 seconds right there. Not bad. Now, we need right ramp and left ramp.
33:26
There's left ramp. Let's see if we can hit this right ramp. GH man. Right ramp is kind of my kryptonite.
33:48
Uh, we're going to try center. Got it. Awesome. Uh, we want to move the nada. No, we we Uh, we want to move the nada. No, we we do want to go this way. Good. All right, we added fuel. We're at 116. Now we need three shots.
34:22
right. Now, we need Let's go right ramp. Good. Awesome.
34:30
Uh, if possible, I think we want to move the knotted jeep. Yeah, there we go. Awesome.
34:42
We added more fuel. We're doing good so far. All right. Same three shots. I think we're going to go Oh, no. We got an escape. We're fine. We're going to go left ramp here. Good. We're going to try right ramp.
34:58
Didn't quite make it. That's fine. I'm going to go center and tower. Missed it.
35:10
Come on. Really? Got it. Oh man, that was so bad. Good. Good. All right, now we're going to go there. There. Beautiful.
35:37
There's an awesome escape from the uh the chaos shot. So, I think we're going the correct opposite path.
35:55
Uh we're going to try for that right ramp again. Got it. Let's go. Tower shot. That did not work out well for me. Oh, it moved it. Great. We're going to go rescue here to there. That's not good.
36:19
Um, we're going to go there and see if we can hit this tower shot again. We should be able to hit the tower shot. Yes. Right ramp. Got it. We That is not
36:35
Oh, is not where it was. So, we're going to try that shot. It wasn't there. We're going to try middle again. Nope.
36:55
Got it. We need to find another way out. We need to find another way out. That really wasn't it. Oh, it's got to That really wasn't it. Oh, it's got to be the velociaptor.
37:13
Got it. Okay, I think we're going the wrong direction. Maybe. Yep. I went to Dilophosaurus. Oh no, that sucks. You know, there's so many of these. I need to hit
37:29
tower. Yeah, I'll do that. That's fine. Uh, let's go that shot again.
37:40
And now let's move the nada jeep so that way we can put the uh the rescue on a different shot. So we're left ramp. Let's go right ramp. No. Do the same thing. Left ramp, right ramp.
38:08
Left ramp, right ramp. Oh no. Got it. Crap. That's right. We have to hit the targets. I got one.
38:35
Going to go left ramp, right ramp. Hit this other target. Got it.
39:04
All right, there we go. Fuel added. Jesus. Oh my god. I went the wrong direction again.
39:23
Well, if there was ever a time to flow, not going to get credit for that one.
39:31
I mean, that wasn't bad for all of those shots. We flew through those.
39:42
There's that. Missed the not a jeep. Come on. Come on. We can slam dunk this sucker right here.
39:52
Escape ready. I HIT THE O SHOT. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I HIT THE O SHOT. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Right after we moved it.
40:05
All right, we're going to go left ramp to right uh helipad. All right, try it again. Come on, we got this. There it is. Screw you and your set trap targets, Screw you and your set trap targets, dude. Great job.
40:34
Oh god, there's no way out. That's We have escaped Nublar, didn't we? Or no, we have to do one more. It's the It's the helipad.
41:10
that was a first for me tonight. I have never actually escaped Nublar.
41:19
All right, who's this going to? This is going to uh Dice, who gifted three tier one? No, I'm sorry. Obi-Wan got in here first. Dice, I'm so sorry. You're missing out. Obi-Wan got in here with a resub for 22 months first thing this evening. Obi-Wan, what are your initials if you're still in here?
41:57
I'm just I'm I'm happy. I'm happy I got to do the one of the things. It's not quite When dinosaurs ruled the Earth. That was That was fun. Obi-Wan with a three billion point game on uh on Jurassic Park Premium over here. Dom Hanks, I'm glad. Okay, next tattoo is is your IC code. That would be ridiculous to just do the IC code right there. Brooklyn, thank you. Those last two paddics had like 18 shots because I kept going the wrong direction. So, you just have to hit everything. Uh Lyn Lynn's been grinding this game themselves, so it's amazing. uh to the way it's done. I I'm Yeah, we've been grinding this on and off for years. Still have not made When Dinosaurs ruled the Earth. That was so disappointing. Uh but
42:51
um let's see here. We worked through there's three different mini wizard modes and a path to get to each of those. So, we did uh the visitor center track, then we did Museum Mayhem, meaning that we did feed T-Rex, T-Rex chase, T-Rex Encounter, T-Rex Rampage, and respelled T-Rex one more time to get into Museum Mayhem. Uh and uh and then finally, we completed three of the control rooms to get into secure control room. And if you remember, there was that like weird delay where we had to wait 15 seconds for secure control room to light. like it was doing a lot of internal checks to determine Oh, that's right. You're there. We vicariously became legends through your game play. Dom, I I'm not going to lie, that was that was fun. Like, that right there, that that last sequence is every is the reason why I I talk so positively about Jurassic Park. That game that game is a flow monster when you when you can find the shots and if you don't miss any of the shots. If you miss the shots, if it rattles up that left ramp again and again or you just keep missing the right ramp. Honestly, yeah, both ramps are my kryptonite in that game. But if you can avoid sucking and like like I was doing with the ramps and just hit every shot, that game is amazing. Uh Obi-Wan, yeah, I hit like 30 tower shots.
44:23
You did. Uh, and once we completed, so we beat uh, Visitor Center, we beat Museum Mayhem, we failed that the last couple of shots on Secure Control Room. We got to escape Nublar. Had we have beaten secure control room when we beat Escape Nublar, we would have gotten into when dinosaurs roamed or ruled the Earth.
