One of only four Williams games to have "closing flipper action" (a.k.a. zipper flippers). On this game, however, the flippers do not zip to close the flipper gap. Instead, they separate widely to increase the flipper gap to allow the turret shooter a wider range for aiming, then zip to reduce the gap (but not close it) once the ball is in play.

Replay wheel maximum: 37

Design by: Steve Kordek
Notes: 'Hayburners II' is credited with introducing 3-inch flippers to the game of pinball in place of 2-inch flippers that were used since their introduction in 1947. However, Sample games may exist of Gottlieb's 1951 'Happy-Go-Lucky' as shown in its flyer, where the flippers appear to be 3 inches in length or longer.
