I don’t remember exactly how the game plays, but just looking at the table I don’t see anything that looks impossible. There is that subway/tunnel that iirc works in both directions which would require some trickery but totally doable at least in one direction.
I vaguely remember the middle of the table turn into a black hole, pulling the ball in. That might be tough to implement in a real thing.
Dont most tables with something like that either have a rotating plate or an electromagnet that only magnetizes the ball when it is powered? Probably could so something like that.
The new DUNE table has a similar feature for the sandworm. It’s a magnet on an elevator and will grab the ball and bring it below the playfield to a subway that feeds to a VUK. So it’s possible. The only issue would be the pop bumpers on the upper playfield for the launch, pop bumper assemblies drop down a good 4-5 Inches from the playfield, so they would need to be changed.
