Re: Space shuttle ramp

Has anyone brought the space shuttle ramp from RTBB?

What are they like?.......Better than original or the same

Feedback please.......Cheers

Okay I'm a little biased...we made the new ramps using ABS versus HIPS (styrene).  ABS is much stronger.  Second we made them using a new "male" tool which allowed us to make the ramp extremely thick at the entrances.  The ABS we used is .177 thick compared to .125 used originally.  We were able to install flaps which make the transition from the playfield to ramp much much smoother.  The smooth shot will save the shuttle ship from taking a beating as well.  Bottom line, these new ramps are a tank.  They won't break.
The ramp business was very very good to me.
