Some operators turned off the ball accelerator on the large ramp to save on maintainence, which is a shame cause its a major part of the game.

Get one and make that feature work, and u will love it. It makes the game.

Oh wow, that would've been the cause for having it not register any shot on that loop?

Damn. That'd make a huge difference then! I think that might've sold me on the game 100% lol
