Notable Features: Flippers (2), Pop bumpers (4), Kick-out holes (3), Drop target (1). Entrance to center ramp is blocked by the drop target. Once drop target is lowered, the ball reaches the center ramp by looping upwards along a track to a simple redirect mechanism that routes the ball alternately to the center-left or center-right ramp outlets. Upper ramp lowers to allow ball to access it and reach a kick-out hole. When ball is locked in kick-out hole, this ramp elevates to allow ball to roll underneath it to reach the first switch in the mega-score switch series.

Plays very well TAB, a smooth and polished transition to VP9. Seems quicker and spunky now. Thanks for the update to a cool classic. Love the Williams sound board during this era.
