I’m guessing the same strategy can be used on Whirlwind to build up tolls instead of miles? Is this a viable strategy for high scores as you don’t seem to get much for all the shots you make. Isn’t going to multiball jackpots a better play?
The goal with the ramp strategy is to get to 99 miles and reach end of the road. That’s where points can pile up. In a tournament, the ramp is a safe shot, and if you can hit it repeatedly, it’s worth considering that strategy. Multiball is bigger points quicker, but it’s also not as safe.
Cheers Mark, think I’ll practice this strategy on my Whirlwind once I’ve put it back together
Thanks demonstration of the different strategies.
When it says “get to the shelter” — where’s the shelter shot?
@Marty, the shelter shot is just to the right of the center ramp, in between zones 4 and 6. Its used to lock balls, collect EBs and restart multiball.
Thanks Jeff, yeah I should have seen the sign with the arrow pointing there, LOL.
