Is American Pinball’s Cirqus Voltaire Worth the Wait?
At Pinball Expo, I spent over an hour in line waiting to get hands-on time with American Pinball’s new Cirqus Voltaire: Ringmaster Edition. While waiting, we ran into several mechanical and technical hiccups with the machine on the show floor.
Rather than bashing the manufacturer, this video is a straight-forward technical audit and documentation of what happened on the floor, how the team addressed it, and full 4K footage of the machine once it was up and running. Once I finally got up to the glass, the gameplay experience itself was fantastic!
In this video:
- Floor line experience & technical delays documented at Pinball Expo
- In-depth look at machine setup and reliability under heavy show floor traffic
- Full 4K gameplay footage of Cirqus Voltaire (Ringmaster Edition)
