History Pinball / Whirlwind

* SpiritualSuccessor: [[Creator/{{Sega}} Sega Pinball's]] ''Film/{{Twister}}'' can be considered one due to the similar theme, spinning discs on the playfields, and the fan that blows air on you when playing multiball.

A digital version of ''Whirlwind'' (without, of course, the fan) is available for ''Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection''. The table was also available for ''VideoGame/ThePinballArcade'' prior to its developers, [=FarSight=] Studios, losing the license to all Bally/Williams tables on July 1, 2018.

* {{Feelies}}: There's a fan on the top of the machine that, when a whirlwind picks up, will blow on the players and cool them off. Helpful for more intense or competitive games, or just nice in a warm, crowded arcade. Sadly, the digital versions don't do this.

* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: Both the Spinner and the rotating discs, though the latter screws with the ball.

* ShoutOut: This could be seen as a Shout Out to Creator/{{Bally}}'s classic ''Pinball/{{Fireball}}'', which was renown for having a spinning disc in the middle of the playfield, called the "Whirlwind Spinner".

Digital versions of ''Whirlwind'' (without the fan) are available for ''Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection'' and (formerly) ''VideoGame/ThePinballArcade''. The latter case is no longer true, however, as the license for all Williams and Bally tables expired on July 1, 2018.
