Coins drop onto a moving platform

Can anyone tell me the "name" of the arcade gambling machine that is large, glass enclosed and coins are dropped in the slot to fall onto a platform containing hundreds of coins (and sometimes paper money) with the hope that the coin just dropped will push many others off the moving platform to drop through the winners tray? thanks cdfflatt@att.net

See ya' in Gibtown!

Gibtown Preview: Nemesis 360 (KMG Inversion)Monday a preview day of the Gibsonton Trade Show, which begins this morning. Of course, the trade show mainly focuses on a lot of rides, games, concessions, trailers, and more. This year, is my first time here at the Gibtown Show and I am featuring is the KMG Inversion (named as the Nemesis 360).
Nemesis 360 is the first ride inside the US with a pendulum look which makes a full spin, unlike the recent pendulums that only had a max arc. Those arc were great, however, the new rush will come in full circle(s). And it looks like the new KMG Inversion will bring just that.
Some other pics I am including on my blog is the logo of Nemesis/Inversion, along with the ride being set up.
Now, how about me on the Inversion? Well… you’ll have to wait until the trade show starts.
The next stop on this Tampa-Gibsonton Expedition is the Florida State Fair! That’s when all of those rides come into play. I so can’t wait. This is where the real thrill of the Thrillseeker Carnival Series comes into play. Keep checking back for our reports from the Fair and the Trade Show. Videos and interviews start later today.
