I have't checked-in a couple weeks. Exciting news about Hurricane center ramp. Just a few weeks from starting that one, pulled all the boards last week. Only sound card is worth saving. I have everything ready to go except that center ramp.
Quoted from Freeplay40:I'm mounting the mold in the machine now. Need to set up the plugs and should be able to form the first test early tomorrow!
Sweet!! Your the man!
Amazing ! It is also amazing the excess plastic it takes. Looks like the hard part is cutting the ramp away from leftovers.
Clear is best on this one, no need to color.
Great work!!!!!
Options are great, but won't lie. Fully populated center Hurricane ramp much easier to install!
I get all my boards back next week for Hurricane. Looking forward to putting this one back together.

Humm...Black Hurricane ramp...You would have to leave it out there a year to get fade.

Mark, when will your new larger machine be ready? Needing right long ramp for Mousin Around, long wiggly one over shooter lane.

I could use a City Slicker ramp. Only 300 of that title made. Those anti gravity Ramps look great.
Mark, how will you make them blue? Dye them?

Mark- Thank you for all your hard work. I think we could keep you busy with ramps for the next 20 years.
I wish I could come see you at Fast pinball this weekend. I'd love to see your lectures. Will they be web cammed or placed on you tube at a later time?

Quoted from stevevt:I can make another request if that's what it takes.
Mark--I second Surf n Safari Whirlpool ramp!!!
Mine has a nice melt burn from a flasher and cracked bottom of bowl.
So let's make this official Second. TY
Not an easy beast of a ramp.Reminds me of Riverboat Gambler beast of a red ramp.
So when you make both of these ramps in the far future. What do you think of a clear red, so you can see thru them? Like the blue on Anti gravity scoop.
Mark- Great updates. Your the bomb! Amazing work, I've had compliments on your Hurricane center ramp! I give you the credit!!!

Feel better and take it easy, no hurry.

Go slow friend...congrats on stopping so far. Baby steps, before you know it, you've gone the distance. Ramps can wait. Rest up. We all would rather have you for the long run.

Mark- Glad your feeling a little better. Those ramps look amazing. Bummed I dont own a GnR. Guys, dont pm me, everytime I say something like that I get a pm with offer of machine. Not buying pins, fixing them mode.

Mark- Hope your feeling better and improving every day.
What do you think we're looking at for Strange science ramps? How is anti gravity coming along?
Will you be adding Dr Dude to your 2017 to do list?

Quoted from Freeplay40:Anti-Gravity blue $45

Looks like data east pins are popular requests. Hook above, checkpoint, the wabac ramp. BTTF need doing.
But just yesterday I realized I need a phantom of the opera main red ramp!
Hopefully in New Year with that larger machine many of these can get done.
Thanks in advance Mark.
Happy holidays to you and your family and thank you for bringing our machines back to life this year.

Mark, Happy New Year! Thank you again for bringing our pins back to life and improving the game.
Better health for all of us this year. Us old guys have what I call, "Old guy medical issue's". To that let us all feel better this year.
I've been on your bandwagon all year and look forward to my Strange science order.
I'm back. Since we all have pinball dreams. It brings me back to Hurricane and how awesome those center ramps turned out. I ended up with two of them and still have both machines with your gorgeous ramp.
That said a similar ramp I feel would be very popular.
Black Rose center ramp.
If this could make it to the list for 2017, that would be awesome.
Thanks again.
Mark-Strange Science ramps are amazing! Glad I picked the blue anti gravity and clear exit. Can't wait to get these in. Thank you for being our guardian angel of pinball ramps!
I look forward to bombarding you with requests all year.
You know my next requests.
Black Rose whirlpool and cover, maybe even in dyed blue like anti gravity, maybe little darker.
Who Dunnit elevator center ramp. I think this doesn't need injection molding, your thicker vacu form would be just fine.
Thanks Again
Eric
You the man. Any help on that just let me know. Wouldn't mind sending you mine as well. One of the most trusted kind hearted gentleman on pinside!

Marks work is always top notch. True asset to pinball!!
Can I start the Black Rose cheer squad for whirlpool ramp?
Anyone else need one?
Awesome Mark, and it's a small ramp, smaller than Hurricane center ramp.
The cover over ramp would need doing to. It says whirlpool, but I think plain clear would be fine. Would rather see wave decals and pop bumpers with view not blocked by that writing, whirlpool seems awkward to, just doesn't need it.
Quoted from Evilive69:Count me in for a W?D ramp, and I have a friend that would take one as well.
Same here Mark, I'll see my friend Sat and let him know. I know he needs one, his is worse than mine.
Quoted from Freeplay40:Probably a back burner....only the 2nd mention of this ramp.
I'm trying mark. If I were to count guys on BR thread it would be 6. Trying to get 20 guys to come over here and chime in!

Quoted from Freeplay40:The next ramps I want to see if I can do right now are Pinbot and the Comet Cork Screw ramps.
Ahh sucks.. was hoping W?D elavator ramp was next or close to the que.
Quoted from Freeplay40:Elevator is still near the front burner. Different process to make a mold for that one and yes I should have said it is on deck as well.
Thanks Mark, hey got it right.
Mark- Curious... what temperature do you need to heat to, Max temp, in order for larger machine to work?
I recently saw a a clay oven at auction, not a kiln, but large rectangle oven designed for glazing and painting of pottery. When i saw it, you came to mind. Beast of a machine, maybe 700 pounds.
Just a thought.
Also, do you have a Chef Toys chain up north?
Large discounted industrial kitchen supplier. They often have dented seconds or scratched large ovens.
I also am clueless on how you work your magic..just a couple ideas.

Mark- Take care brother. Ramps and stuff can wait. Health more important than pinball. Get well soon, and dont come back to fast, take your time.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you for speedy recovery and better health moving forward.

Izzy, good you found this thread.
Mark, i suggested again to friend Izzy above he find you for the Dr Dude center ramp.
Any chance you could add Black Rose whirlpool cover on plastic ramp to list. Love a new cover, but if you do the ramp , Id buy that to.
Heres to a healthy, strong, prosperous new year for you Mark, you deserve it!

Thanks Mark. Wish i had a comet to upgrade!

Quoted from Freeplay40:The Elevator ramp is technically an injection molded piece, but I do have one here on loan from a friend and we hope to be able to produce a suitable vacuum formed replacement.

Cough, Cough....excuse me. Something stuck in my thought.

Quoted from Freeplay40:Ooooohhh….Green...Haven't done a good green yet.
The High Speed upper may have looked good in green. I just picked up a High Speed and they put your red in, Fantastic!
Other thoughts. Hurricane center may have looked good in green.
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:Agreed!!
Mark when the new heater gets finished and the new Comet center ramp rolls off the assembly line any thought on the 2nd ramp? Have you ever considered or had requests for the left ramp on monopoly?
I was hoping for the big apron sweep ramp on Hurricane. (Green might look good), My middle mark ramp is lonely.
Lets not forget Black Rose ramps. (Not Green)

Quoted from DorkVonWaterfall:freeplay40
how to store the ramps (longtime)?
as i´m putting the ramps on the shelf for backup, any advise?
for now there are in the cardboard boxes they where shipped in (removed the bubblewrap) in a dry, a ca 20°C environment (about 68°F )
Ive had ramps for years....
I just make sure they are in big bags, then wrap extra bag around ramp. Then bubble wrap, then the box they showed up in.
No wax,or oil or any products, any product can harden or color over time.

Quoted from HHaase:Honestly, given the amount of vacu-formed plastics on the game, that's a lower estimate than I would have expected.

My thought too! The problem with Blackwater is it would only probably sell maybe 20 sets.

Freeplay only does the center Hurricane ramp.
Quoted from Freeplay40:Black Rose ramp update. Life events slowed things down in November, but getting back on track. The molds for the two Black Rose pieces I will reproduce are cast and curing. On another note, Planetary just today announced some significant releases in the Black Rose owners club...

PPS has them in stock now.
Count me in for one of each ramp!
Quoted from Mancave:I tried googling for the other 4 (1 being on the metal ramp) and had no hits to the part numbers
These are the 3 Planetary currently has in stock.

Quoted from Freeplay40:I have casually started shipping ramps for Black Rose so will toss this out to everyone who is interested at this time. I will be working this weekend putting the ramps together.

Black Rose Whirlpool ramp $120

New Cover for Whirlpool ramp $18

There are ramp decals available for the Whirlpool and one decal for the left ramp at Planetary/Bay Area Amusements. There is no decal available for the Whirlpool ramp cover....your existing ramp cover will fit on my new ramp.
