I'm Wondering if anyone else has any issue hitting the upper ramp the one going around the Bigfoot. It seems if I hit early on the inside of the ramp it will make it easily. Now if I hit late on the outside of the ramp, it just bricks and comes back down. Anyone had to dial theirs in?

Mine is same way. I even bought a new ramp to see if it changed anything.

This is a common issue with WH2O. From the upper flipper, shots to the right ramp entrance become airborne as the ball goes around the ramp. It then strikes the roll under switch at the top of that ramp, and is "rejected".

You need one of these: http://www.pinbits.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13_72&products_id=635&zenid=c29dd86a2c9110344a3929157ab63663

It's essentially a "lid" that prevents the ball from hitting the roll under switch.

Yep! You can make one out of a coil stop too as someone did on my game. I left mine alone as it works quite well.

Mine came with a home made one as well. Works great.

It seems before I restored it that it was less noticeable. Maybe 5 months was enough time for me to forget

New ramps are faster.
If you really want them to fly, wax them.

I haven't waxed them since the restoration, but I've seen a vast improvement on games by waxing them.
