Great smx pads here, had a blast here 3 years agovlsaurus1
I would like to mention that between 3-5pm everyday, the swipers are set to half off, so you can pay $1 for 3 songs between then...or longer if you swipe a bunch of times before 5pm lol.

Also, a tech told me that they don't intend on keeping the machine connected online all the time. However, if you know that it's out of date, you can let one of the techs know and they'll update it for you. At the time of writing this, the machine is on the latest content update. Since it's offline, you won't be able to take advantage of the new mobile login features. You can still track scores the old way by scanning QR codes on the score screens.

Watch out for loose screws as well. It happens every so often from people constantly stomping lol. Just ask a tech and they'll fix it. 4 years agoNuVirus
Wait, Kyle legit put an SMX here? Point Pleasant, of all places? OK, now I actually want to go down here for sure after everything goes back to normal. I was kinda thinking about it, but now I've decided the rail ticket prices mean nothing to me lol 10 years agoNuVirus
ReRave Plus is back up & running :-) 10 years agoNuVirus
Correction, the regular ReRave is gone, and ReRave + is the machine that is currently out of order. 10 years agoNuVirus
No sign of ReRave Plus inside the arcade, and ReRave is down. 10 years agoNuVirus
Never mind, I figured out on my own, it's obviously Jenkinson's. Wow, I wish I could go here more often. 10 years agoNuVirus
OK, which of the four arcades down here has the best claw machines? 10 years agowottermelon
it's a shame about the slight delay for the x2, but it was running fine when i tried it 10 years agoDiablo2424
I haven't been here in years, and just moved back to the area, will have to check out the current condition of the machine and report back! 12 years agoBemaniFan2237
oh cool so it has the old style pad nice 12 years agowarpdr!ve
A bit. The panels look like supernova ones. The cabinet itself is the same. The odd thing is, I was under the impression that US X2s use one sheet of metal for each side of the pad. If that was the case, perhaps it was modded.

Not sure about that last part, but it's playable for now so I'm cool with it. 12 years agoBemaniFan2237
wait does it look different with the panels 12 years agoBemaniFan2237
Yeah did you know that the sand players drag in make the sensors go bad I try to keep it in good condition 12 years agowarpdr!ve
Well I'll be damned. Guess I have a reason to come back here after all haha. 12 years agoBemaniFan2237
I thought there's only 1 ReRave now plus I also clean the pad from sand and things like that if you ask the people nicely they will give you paper towels they usually do for me 12 years agoSilver Spirit
The X2 is actually good now, the pads were being cleaned when I went and now there's MUCH fewer issues with pad misses, etc. 12 years agoBemaniFan2237
south beachs the one with x2 too right of is it the other one with all the crane came 12 years agowarpdr!ve
All but the one that I want. That's a shame. If the X2 pads are still decent by the time summer rolls around, I'll probably stop here a time or two. Thanks for the info. 12 years agoBemaniFan2237
it says that Pavilion Arcade, Frank’s Fun Center, Jenkinson’s South Arcade reopened i'm hoping its better too cant wait to visit again i also really want to play re rave again 12 years agowarpdr!ve
Good to hear. Maybe the machine will miraculously be better lol.

Have all of them opened? I'm also interested in South Beach being open (the one by the mini-golf on the amusement park side). 12 years agoBemaniFan2237
the arcades have reopened 12 years agodieKatze88
Since this seems to be the place most everyone on the Jersey shore goes, has anyone made any attempt to somewhat audit the status of the various arcades around since Hurricane Sandy? 13 years agowarpdr!ve
Ok, I'm a bit harsh on condition, sorry. I only put it down as Bad because I was there last week. I probably just got unlucky and there were kids stomping beforehand or something. 13 years agoDDR Addict
I was also there a month ago and the right pad was fine. Upgraded status to Moderate 13 years agoBemaniFan2237
the right side actually working well last time went 13 years agoBemaniFan2237
going back woo 13 years agoBemaniFan2237
i was here today and the pads were okay 13 years agoBemaniFan2237
i was the person who put in the first two unlocks 13 years agoAceJay
Oh cool, Max unlock. Might have to take a trip out here at some point this summer. 13 years agowarpdr!ve
His scores are everywhere there so maybe. Perhaps I'll find out next time. 13 years agoBemaniFan2237
i think one might be barry he pretty good from the machine rankings 13 years agowarpdr!ve
I've seen a few good people there but I don't know which is which (or remember what they look like for that matter). 13 years agoBemaniFan2237
that will be cool i've seen silver spirit there twice and you can do AAA'S on the machine 13 years agowarpdr!ve
Perhaps. I'll let you know next time I plan on going if you want. 13 years agoBemaniFan2237
maybe ill see you there im there alot of times i was the one who put unlock code 1 and 2 on there 13 years agowarpdr!ve
Fair point. Now that the season's right I can probably go down there every once in a while, so I'll make sure to ask next time. 13 years agoBemaniFan2237
you could of asked the mechanic of the arcade thats what i do 13 years agowarpdr!ve
I couldn't break a 90% on anything on the right, despite being able to consistently AA harder songs than those I played on the right on the left. That is very strange... I wish I had a better answer lol. 13 years agoBemaniFan2237
i played friday and right was better i even managed to get a AA the sensors have alot of problems but i always ask the guy to fix it 13 years agowarpdr!ve
I played today, the left seemed much better than the right (I was able to pass Possession and Mei easily on the left which I couldn't do on the right). Maybe they've fixed it? Beyond today, I haven't been there for almost a year so maybe they only fixed one side or something. 13 years agoBemaniFan2237
i thought the left was bad 13 years agoBemaniFan2237
does anyone know where to import a x3 upgrade kit 13 years agoBemaniFan2237
i ask the guy that works there to try to fix the pads i am probably going there today 13 years agoiNEXSERTiON
Of course, X2's are the worst machines to have. They go bad so fast. 13 years agoBemaniFan2237
the pads are okay not fantastic 13 years agoAceJay
But how are the pads? 13 years agoBemaniFan2237
this is my favorite place to do ddr x2 and the guy working there said there going to get X3 when it comes out yay by the way i am so happy they did not get X and got X2 instead 14 years agoCruisn4Evur
Why, DDR X2?
WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE 757.4 MILES AWAY FROM ME?!?!?!?!?!?!?1
