I love LOTR, own multiple machines and play every day. The more I play however, the more I hate Path of the Dead. It is boring, confusing and not interactive. I get that you're supposed to nudge the machine in theory, but in practice it just sucks.

I've been a video game developer for 20 years, have a commercial laser cutter and 3d printer, plus artists who can make 3d models and SVG cuts. My electrical and physical component skill isn't strong but I have a working knowledge.

I want to create and sell a mod for Path of the Dead that makes it fun and interactive. My idea right now is a rotating platform at the top of the path which makes 30-degree turns using the left or right flipper buttons, but only while the ball is in Orthanc.

Before I jump into this and start prototyping ideas, does anyone have any thoughts, ideas or suggestions? Anything that exists in other pins which might be good to look at?
