Quoted from sacd:

LOL
You're not going because the place has a somewhat questionable rating on yelp?
It's about the pin, not about the place ...
I'm going, 90 mins flight, so why not

I think he's joking.

From Pinballnews.com exclusive video of display animations from the game, including the backgrounds for each ball, the bonus count, the game over animation, and the music played during each ball.

Quoted from EJ:

I was wondering that as well. I figured that it might lead to the upper playfield, but that's just a guess. Anyone with more concrete knowledge know where it leads to?

Just guessing here... The right ramp leads to the upper pf. The Jesus lane leads to the pops/lower D & E lanes area. The shot between Jesus and the right ramp is the orbit shot.

Edit: Never mind my Jesus idea. I see the ramp flap after typing that.

Quoted from Star_Gazer:

Hmmm..mind the gap mr. Lebowski.

If that gap is actually a problem because it can fall off the upper pf and damage things below, they could just make a new kind of flipper for up there that has fat hammerhead end. I'm probably not explaining it well. When you press the flipper and it goes up, the flipper end acts as a wall and just directs the ball down the wire ramp.

Quoted from Honch:

It looks like all they would have to do is extend the wire form from the ramp to run behind the flipper.

Then you get stuck balls like in Monopoly.

Quoted from Honch:

I'm not familiar with that problem, but I don't see how it would get stuck. Unless you mean the flipper holding the ball when it comes back to it's resting position.

Yes. Weird stuff happens. Ball would go behind flipper while it's up and get stuck. Remove glass to unstick. I assume that is why the wire does not go up further as you suggest, unless there is some other reason, like the ball drops off the upper pf to somewhere they want it to drop that we just don't see yet.

Monopoly has a small spinning flipper where the ball can get stuck. Removing the flipper rubber takes care of the problem, as the rubber isn't really needed.
