It is a fact that they had ramp railroads (commonly referred to as vacuum ramps) to get the ball up and around all elevated parts of the Playfield. This was to work around parts of their physics engine that needed the ball to be on the Playfield surface for it to be recognised as "in play". The other reason is because the ramps were not considered a part of the physics engine.  Therefore if the balls were shot up a ramp object they would just fly off the table if they didn't have the railroad in place.They improved the randomness of these vacuums in later editions of all the tables but they are still railroads.Sent from my VOG-L29 using Tapatalk</blockquote>
