I went down to Gateway at 7:20 pm , there were no Fireball tables setup. Any tables that may have been put together were not out in the public area.

They could of been setup and then put in storage some where at Gateway. Do not know more than Will or Chad lets out.

I'm not sure what to say... Every time you have asked about the Fireball tables I have said the earliest access will be on Tuesday April 12th.

We did set up two tables yesterday. One of them is at Gateway. Brand new Tornado exactly the same as the ones in Vegas - it is really easy to see the difference between this one and the old ones. The rest should be set up by Tuesday.

Ok... The New tables were the NEW Tornado tables ...not new Fireball tables.. Which Table is the New Tornado at Gateway then ?

I'll leave that to you to figure out. It is easy to tell. If you can't tell without touching the table I'd be surprised, if you move a rod you would know for sure.

I went down not looking for a New Tornado ... did not stop to play. I assume you put the new Tornado in the same space vacated by the previous one.

I will test out the new one soon enough.

Where is the new bonzini table.

Email from Bonzini - "I give some news from your ordering. The tables will be leaving Bonzini France in 2 weeks. We had at the last minute a new ordering ( a special table with a logo , I will send you the photo ) and it did take some times to make it."

Played on the New Tornado table ....very nice indeed !
Rods glide at a very good speed and the New balls roll excellent. They also have more grip.
The score markers have just a plain slide rail instead of the original knotched placement grip/holder assist.

Compared to the other tables present two seem slower on most bars with one other being fast still on most of its bars.
Really good choice Will on the replacement table, hopefully other players will get a chance to know the difference between Brand New compared to the others.
