Overall commentary: Zap Zone is a good place to play Air Hockey. The table, puck, and mallets are in relatively good shape. One downside is that the table is right up against a wall making the playing field seem a little smaller then it actually is. Besides that, Zap Zone is a good facility for Air Hockey. Don't let the fact that they have one table keep you from going there, they are rarely busy.

How many tables: 1 Dynamo Hot Flash table
Quality of tables: Average
Quality of pucks: Poor
Cost per game: 3 Quarters ($.75)
Overall commentary: The Lodge is a wonderful sports bar offering a great place to watch the game, shoot billiards, throw some darts, and play some video games. Unfortunetly it lacks when it comes to Air Hockey. A table with a few dents mixed with poor pucks that barely glide on the table makes this Air Hockey spot a poor choice for play. If you like to drift you won't be drifting when you play on this table.

How many tables: 1 old school dynamo brown top table
Quality of tables: Good
Quality of pucks: Good
Cost per game: 3 Quarters ($.75)
Overall commentary: When you first see this table you won't even think that it would be worth your time, but you will quickly be proven wrong. Nothing like an old school dynamo table with a brown top. The table is still in good shape after all the play it has had over the years. The pucks are new so it really turns into an exciting table to play on. Only bad part is that the table is thrown into the back corner of the arcade so space is at a minimum.

How many tables: 2 Dynamo Hot Flash II tables with plastic protection walls on sides
Quality of tables: Very Good
Quality of pucks: Horrible
Cost per game: $1 dollar
Overall commentary: The tables are in awesome shape but after feeling cheated by paying a full dollar to play, you are then tortured by playing with a horrible white puck. The puck is so bad that you would think it was made out of foam. The tables truly are in great condition and if you can bring in your own puck then Goodrich Theaters wouldn't be a bad place to play. However, it is certainly not worth a dollar to pay with the crappy white pucks.
Final Grade: C
