interesting read! i never knew that

great post terpy

I wish I could play on a 36' lane, the game would be so much better...

Every time I go to an arcade, the first thing I play is skee ball. It's such a unique game. Although I'm not very good at it.

Pretty cool game considering that an organ manufacture (Wurlitzer) and a roller coaster manufacture (Philadelphia toboggan) both owned the company at one point but different times.

I am terrible at the game as is...if it were still 36 feet I would really suck!

Best Game, good to see ki and coney still have them, and suprisingly the likes of gatliburg tennessee is incredible!

i <3 this game, just wish i could find the old musical tone (after you would drop your quarter in & release the balls) as a ringtone for my phone.

Very cool, thanks for sharing. I prefer pinball (have three machines at home), but Skee-Ball is a lot of fun too. Oddly enough, earlier today I downloaded the Skee-Ball iPhone app...and that was before I ever saw this post! lol

In the carousel world, those names are often together.

GatorGirl loves to play skeeball. Of course, it's the only game I'll let her play at KI, other than that clucking chicken game in the Coney Mall arcade. Can't really beat the price: 1 token (25 cents) per game.
