Quoted from chuckwurt:
It’s either attached to the sides of the game or something in the middle portion of the game. These rails are attached to something other than the side walls.
Erik’s just dramatic. A lot of people say the ride the lightning rails obstruct the PF view. Which is total crap.
As you can see from my pic, the right side goes slightly over the shooter lane (no big deal), and the only thing partially blocked on the left is the Fuel entrance behind the stand ups (again no big deal).
It’s a much different perspective while playing the game too. They don’t obstruct anything, and they have to be where they are to get the optimal lighting effect bouncing off the blades.
Ironically, the Lightning rails are also plastic L brackets mounted on existing posts with hex extenders.
