Are you guys making any new ramps? When pinball ramps sold the business they had promised a handful of games and said you guys would continue making new stuff. I have not seen anything new in a long time and seems some of the previously made stuff is now out of stock?

I sent these to James year and half ago for him to repo. Never followed up with him...Hopefully they still have them

These would be very welcome to most BSD owners. I have a friend that really wants a new ramp set.
so, I've answered this before but simply put: The thermoforming company over credit issues stopped making any ramps. They never contacted me and it took almost 2 months for me to figure that out. This has resulted in a huge backlog and far more out of stocks than I'm comfortable with. James at Pinball Inc. is still engineering all new ramps. We have been waiting for the thermoforming to catch up before producing new ramps. Obviously that's not gonna work either because only God knows when they will catch up. So James is going to go ahead and engineer the new ramps and we'll slip them in where we can. Bad Cats will be first, then Cyclone Ferris wheel, then World Cup Soccer and then Dracula. So I'm afraid Dracula might be a year out yet. That sucks. I know but it is what it is.

Thanks. I had not seen/heard all this info before.
I appreciate your honesty and look forward to you getting back to the place you want to be, more ramps in stock, and a regular basis of new ramps coming off the line.
I suggest the big ramp on JD after you get caught back up.
Thanks for the update. New ramps to replace 25 year old ones is just essential. No one wants to put beat up, cracked, scratched and yellowed ramps on a beautiful repro PF or a restored game. Please keep them coming.

There are quite a few WWF owners that would buy a new main ramp. Any interest in Starship making these ramps? I know James had the molds before for the ramp because he sent me a picture of it and i identified it for him.
Quoted from Frax:Hard to argue with setting a realistic expectation.
LOL, tell that to those waiting on JJP/PPS/Jpop/everything games. I'm guessing BSD ramps are longer off than that. I haven't heard a timeline yet in pinball that panned out. This is not a shot at the this company, just the reality of pinball stuff and timelines.
Glad to know things are moving along, James' ramp were a saving grace for so many machines, and I'm hoping the same level off production and product can eventually be turned out here, as I'll be a customer. I replace everyone ramp I can.
I screwed up. The ramp mold I was thinking that James had is Rollergames not Wwf. Sorry for my mistake. Since Wwf is DE I don't know if the original molds are available. Still lots of folks would like to get a replacement for WWF.

Thanks. Good to see new ramps will be made.
