Special thanks go to destruk for scripting help and his suggestions, jpsalas for various script snippets, and to all of those who provided resources and play testing.

This table marks a few firsts for me. Mainly, the ramp technique used. My main goal in this table, and probably all others in the future, will be to create realistic lighting effects for the full pinball experience. -Noah
