Reminds me of when I was asking around about the ramps for Rocky & Bullwinkle a couple months back. I was told from ramp makers that I might as well keep dreaming because there's no interest in the game. By miracle chance, I found a site in Norway that had a set of brand new condition ramps for $40 a pop. I jumped all over that, and now my Bullwinkle machine has all 3 ramps in pristine condition. It was a load off my mind, and I can imagine how it feels to be stuck with trashed ramps.

Found the site! Look about halfway down for his fix

Jeff Z's repair page was the answer to my ferris wheel to ramp transition. The gap between the two was enough to have the ball go round and round on the ferris wheel. Followed his fix and have not had a problem since! Great information on his web page,

Yeah I've seen Jeff's page, my problem is I'm missing the metal piece that he connected the piece he made to. I have no metal bracket at all. Someone cut the plastic ramp end off, and glued a new piece of plastic to it, painting the whole mess black. So currently when the ball leaves the ferris wheel the ramp bounces up and down when the ball hits it. Won't be long and the crap repair will fail too.

Well thats a bummer! Just another reason that all Cyclone ramps need to be remade!!

If anyone needs a ferris wheel ramp I have one that is cracked in half near the drop hole. The crack is clean and could be superglued I believe. PM if you want pics.

I need them both. Got the playfield stripped down now and was dreading putting my old ramps back on.

Why is this thread still open? Twisted Pins ramps are a wash,and Pinball Inc. is the only Ramp maker worth their weight in salt. We are in fact at the mercy of Pinball Inc. so when they feel we need more they become available so everything anyone says about new ramps is pointess.

There has been a lot of unforeseen events take place which have delayed the Ferris Wheel ramp. Now things should start to get back to normal and we are working on them, it's just taken longer than we'd like.

Working out a slight issue with the thicker plastic. One out of 25 times the ball is hanging up at the exit of the Ferris Wheel. Hope to resolve and continue testing to where we are 100%.
