Lots of people like metal better but I've always preferred plastic...probably what I grew up with more.
They of course have their set of issues in the lastibility department but just feel I like them more

I hear where you are coming from, but metal ramps have their place too - would you want a criss-cross plastic ramp cutting right through the middle of the playfield? Probably not. Otherwise yes, for an HUO game, I don’t have a problem with plastic ramps like you find on games like ST.

Ah yes i agree...and what i meant was plastic ramps over metal ramps...not habitrials/wireforms which are great.

To me, plastic ramps always feel buttery smooth compared to metal ones. But metal ones always feel snappier and more agile than plastic ones.

White Water with metal ramps would be terrible and clunky, and T2 or The Getaway wouldn't have a crisp, sharp feel with plastic ramps.

That's my perception, anyway.

I posted this in another thread recently that metal ramps have less friction with the ball, and I also believe the surface dirt is less of a factor in slowing down the ball on metal.
