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.
