Just looking at some past examples of games, mainly The Hobbit, it seems as though having ramps directly in the deep middle of the play field limit any options on what you can do below the ramp in terms of bash toys, targets, etc. Since the middle of the playfield is an area where you see a lot of that, do you ever see another pinball manufacturer trying this again? If so why, if not why. It just seems to me that unless you have the troll option like JJP tried, you would really have a barren middle of the playfield since you would not be able to hit the ramp shot.

Anyway, let me know your thoughts.
