Habitrail is the
nickname given to the wire
tunnels and
ramps gracing the
playfield of a
pinball game. The nickname was given due to the
resemblance between the wire tunnels sized perfectly for a pinball, and the plastic tunnels that some
gerbil/
hampster habitats have for the
animals to scurry through.
It is also sometimes applied to plastic ramps also, as they are serving the same purpose on the playfield.
This term is used almost very frequently when reading descriptions of the features of a table, and rulesheets, that are found on the internet.
