We don't seem to have a problem hitting the jump ramp the way it is. We have played 2 different machines and seem to be able to hit it just fine. We have found that it is a much harder shot to hit from a trap. It seems to flow smoother from hitting on the fly. But theater ghost is one of my favorite modes. So I generally tend to go for it second right after hotel ghost. Just wanted to give some feedback. Happy Ghost hunting, man I love this game !
