Tron: Legacy pinball is on its way

Tron and arcades are synonymous. Aside from the arcade references in the film, it also spawned two coin-op machines, Tron and Discs of Tron.  The former was a landmark machine for me; the latter was pretty, but lacklustre.  So it's hardly surprising that a coin-op machine was planned for the sequel, Tron: Legacy and given the state of modern arcades, it's perhaps not surprising that this new machine is actually a pinball table.

Announced last week, Parts4Pinballs.com has the following information about the table:

Not much details has come out yet but here are some of the features on the game:
Illuminated Motorized Spinning Disc in the center back of the playfield is protected by the Motorized Bank of 3 Yellow Targets, that retracts into the playfield. The Spinning Disc shoots the ball randomly across and around the playfield.


3rd Flipper at the left, half way up the playfield. Shoots beautifully into the one of the two plastic ramps. This Flipper is fed by many shots, including an orbit shot, a small loop shot, a skill entry shot.


The miniature TRON video game is mounted above the Scoop near the right side, about half way up the playfield. Shooting into the Scoop starts exciting features and collects big points.


In addition to the Motorized Target Bank, this game has 4 TRON targets on the left, 2 Spinning Targets, numerous other Targets, and of course 3 Pop Bumpers to the right side.

So there's no other details at the moment, so I guess we'll have to make do with a few images:
