Put in a good 13+ hours into making Cyclone play a lot better.

1. Removed the Ferris Wheel, and put in a replacement rubber. Cleaned everything as I went through it. Main benefit is that now the ball always feeds into the ramp. Before, it would get caught 1/3 of the time.

2. Re-rubbered the lower PF. The result is the ball has more bounce in the outlanes, and now you can save the ball better. There’s more bounce on the top post of each sling, which also allows you to jam the ball out of the outlane area better.

3. Tuned the slings.

4. Cleaned out Boomerang Tunnel. Boy was it dirty.

5. Adjusted the Boomerang by 1/16″ to allow for more shots.

6. Magic Erasered and waxed the ball return area and outlanes.

7. Magic Erasered and waxed the 1-2-3 lanes.

8. Cleaned out under the apron. Here’s a before and after under the apron:
