Basketball

Location: South Midway; just south of the Music USA theater.
Opened: 1964
Previous Location: Original location unknown. Before Wild Mouse was installed, it sat roughly where the Wild Mouse station now sits. When Wild Mouse was installed the game was moved to north of Wild Mouse where Cliffhanger now sits. Was relocated to its current location for the 2001 season to make room for Cliffhanger.
Object: Make one basket, and win a prize.
Price: $1 (Small Prize), $3 (Large Prize), $5 (Jumbo Prize)
Tradeups: 3 smalls for 1 large and 3 larges for 1 jumbo.

It was located where Cliffhanger is before Cliffhanger was installed.

How much of the current game is the same as the one installed in 1964? Any of it?

I think it was also where station of Wild Mouse now sits before Wild Mouse was installed. Can someone confirm this for me? I honestly can't remember. Then it got moved to the newly created midway and placed where Cliffhanger now sits, and then it moved again when Cliffhanger was installed.

I would expect that none of the original game still exists, but I am sure the name and the style of play has remained the same over the years.

It looks fun. I don't do many of the games, but that looks like something I will have to do sometime!

Dont they have a one of those by the samuri?

The one next to Samurai is Shoot Till You Win and game play is different. With Basketball, you pay the amount of the prize you want and you have one chance to make a basket. At Shoot Till You Win, you are allowed to keep playing until you finally make a basket.

I do seem to remember it being in that area. I'm thinking it must have been. Then it would make sense why they relocated it to the extended midway after Wild Mouse was put in. But I can't really be sure either.

Thanks Ducky, I've added that in to the main post.
