5/08/25: Unfortunately, Machines 5 and 6 are now gone and retired. I even asked the very nice cashier in the gift shop and she said they had to get rid of them because they had way too many issues and they constantly had to fix them.
However, Machine 7. even though preloaded, is rolling great! Super friendly staff too!
