    description
    *Carnival* is a single-player [[technology-generation:electromechanical]] pinball game that [[manufacturer:elettrocoin]] of [[location:italy/fi/florence]] assembled as a re-titled conversion of [[manufacturer:gottlieb]]'s 1966 *[[model:subway-2]]*, its new name giving the American table a [[theme:carnival]] billing for Italian arcades. Elettrocoin was one of several trading names — alongside Elettronolo and Elettrogiochi — that a single Florentine maker used to refit imported American machines, rebuilding *conversion kit* versions of Bally, Williams and Gottlieb games under fresh Italian titles.[1] The donor, Subway, was a Gottlieb design whose backbox featured a mechanical animation of sliding subway doors; together with its replay-model twin *[[model:cross-town-2]]* it numbered among the final Gottlieb tables to retain a manual ball-lift.[2] Under the Carnival name the layout stayed as Gottlieb had drawn it: its colored top lanes lit the matching bumpers beneath them, and the central standup target paid its bonus only if the two lights under it — one red, one yellow — showed the same value.[3]

    Mechanical backbox animation (subway doors open). [...] Subway and its replay version, Gottlieb's 1966 'Cross Town', were the last Gottlieb games to have the manual ball-lift.

    Color-coded top lanes light the corresponding colored bumper underneath when made. [...] The center target is only worth 10 points, except when the red and yellow lights below it are on matching values

    lineage per the source line: Per tilt parenthetical, based on Gottlieb's 1966 'Subway' (ipdb 2412; an Italian-market 'Subway (Italy)' also exists as ipdb 4777). Likely a conversion in line with the firm's other output (Derby=kit for Bally Gold Rush, Mexico=kit for Bally Rocket III, etc.). Maker: Elettrocoin (catalog CE elettrocoin).; sold as a conversion kit.
