    Quoted from Zora:

    Generally I agree with you. However, LOTR is famous for heated up coils and then they loose power dramatically. So before you do not make the ring ramp, add a fan. Additionally the fans Keep the coil temperature constant and you have no changes in the flipper strength. The fans are not noisy, you won't notice them at all. And I had no issue with them at all.
    But I am not fighting for the fans. Everybodies decision.

    They made updates coils for LOTR no? That would fix the issue and no fans needed.
