8/25/24: Visited today, machine 2 is still located inside the main building, just past the front desks to the right. The employee working the front desk/gift shop was extremely helpful in telling us about the place and was happy to let us roll the pennies without paying the admission cost for the park.
One of the design choice buttons (Tudor Hall) seemed to be stuck down. We tried to move the button up to help it get un-stuck but it did not help. Was able to consistently get the 'Tudor Hall' design, and was able to get the 'Silhouette' design once but was unable to get the flag design. I did ask the park employee and she was unsure how/why it was happening but told me that they would get someone out to take a look at the machine, which is promising! |
