BikerBabe 0 #2 May 12, 2003 hmm, there's no dots in AZ, even though I heard from the source that the contract was finally signed on the land and with investors? Well, the one in Perris is coming, at least!Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder where. They look kinda close to Houston (YAY!!) and Dallas (YAY Again if Houston doesnt get one) Makes me wonder what DZ's in Texas that are looking into a wind tunnel..

I'm assuming the dots in Texas mean that there are people who want to put one in these location, but are still in the contract & investor gathering stage.

Michele 1 #9 May 12, 2003 QuoteI don't understand the dots in tx.. i migh tnot have spent much time on the site, but there aren't windtunnels there are there?? Morning, Kev. The way I read it, it means that there are locations/franchises for "sale", perhaps meaning demo studies have been done and SkyVenture believes there will be a profitable market there for them, but that there have been no takers yet.

wmw999 2,589 #10 May 12, 2003 With them saying "available" it sounds like Skyventure is saying they think those would be good locations, and are anxiously awaiting investors to come knocking down their doors.

Zenister 0 #14 May 12, 2003 oh i've been re-organizing my life around skydiving for the last year or so..i've got one more before i could conceivably "cutaway" to pursue whatever i wish and be set up to enjoy the quest a bit. owning a windtunnel would be perfect...i just need to find the means...____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

Assuming they actually build it, I will also have one right across the street from where I play hockey (15 minute drive from where I live). Of course I doubt that it'll be powerful enough for me to use to help my freeflying skills. But I guess I could always use a little more belly practice.

Ok here is a rumor I heard from a lady who works over by the theater..... Jefco, is throwing a hissy fit about it being in their pattern, which is why ground hasn't broke on it yet.

Raefordite 0 #19 May 13, 2003 Skyventure talked about their expansion a bit while at the PIA Symposium last January. Growing, growing, growing! And those few thousand jump tickets to build you a wind tunnel would need to be closer to a million jump tickets........ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
