The Party Zone is a solid-state pinball machine released in 1991 by Midway (under Bally) designed by Dennis Nordman and programmed by Jim Strompolis. It is in a single playfield format and features Captain B. Zarre with characters from previous pinball machines. It is the second pinball machine released after the Bally-Midway division was sold to Williams, but still operated under the "Bally" name.
