That's COOL! I can't wait to see the BIG way photos that will come outta that tunnel!~
-
I wouldn't handle it like that at all...nor would I expect it to happen like that very often unless this fictional tunnel is ON a dropzone. I would happily put tourists, whuffos and tunnelrats in the mix to even the balance, we're only talking about a few miles an hour difference between groups. I really don't see it being that big of a deal... when the speed is slower you wear bigger suits, when it's faster, smaller etc or wait for a slower time.. like we do now when flying in mixed groups. The gain is money made while doubling your capacity for tourists for sure.. that's where the good money is at. If there is a group that can't fly at whatever speed is currently going, then they wait.. no worse off than the current situation with limited availability.

THAT WOULD BE SO AWESOME!

With the advent of new larger tunnels I'm curious what the largest # of flyers you've flown with, at the same time, in a VWT. I've been with up to 13 in AAC before and 7 in SVO

I wouldn't actually. Think... load organizing.. I could fly 15-20 feet above you or 15-20 feet below you now in almost any tunnel (except those whose air columns are too short)... It wouldn't much matter with the right amount of distance especially if the bottom column was contained within wall to wall air, since the air will have nowhere to go but up it won't detract from the upper column. we need to do something about that avatar of yours! I think I have a photo of you I could use, too bad I can't change your avatar for you -layla

New AAC Commercial - Feeback Please
Bodyflight.Net replied to Bodyflight.Net's topic in Wind Tunnels
You can find many threads about AAC here in dz.com, not really new, but not highly publicized since it's not fully operational yet... it's mostly a word of mouth thing at this point... sometime in Spring/Summer maybe it will be open full time, etc. Skydivers, 4 way teams, military guys & tunnelrat types all use it right now with the occasional beginners or locals mixed in. (ON TOPIC) The commercial is targeted at beginners and families etc, not skydivers so much. -
BUT YOU'LL SHOOT YOUR EYE OUT!!!!

I wish for... WORLD PEACE

Tdog, first.. THANKS! Real Opinions are what I'm after of course! I think everything you said sounds like 'good tips' and are worth considering during revision! You also offerd some great solutions to a couple of already know problem areas! I don't feel like you 'tore' it up.. so no harm done! Thanks for taking the time! -
New AAC Commercial - Feeback Please
Bodyflight.Net replied to Bodyflight.Net's topic in Wind Tunnels
Hi Phree... The low size does have a glitch here and there.. the full size versions certainly won't. The play method would be home PC and DVD players primarily and obviously a web version too. Not for mainstream TV although visually it could be but it would have to have a different soundtrack to it as you mentioned. The audience being the general public, 20/30 somethings, families with pre-teen & teenage kids, etc. -
That's TOO funny!!!

Thanks Paige! I'm always glad to get people motivated to fly! I was thinking that the Titles (white text over the flying parts) could be a bit bolder or maybe chunkier so that they are easier to read, that's about the only thing I think I would change -
Thanks Paige! We love you too!

Greetings! I'm delighted to show you all the new commercial WindWorX did for Appalachian Amusement Center in North Carolina. As marketing director for the time being, I'd love your input. The objective was NOT to paralell skydiving, but to show how much fun it can be for anyone even the whole family. I'd love to know several things: How did you feel watching the commercial (excited, bored, jazzed, happy, laughing) Would this commercial motivate you to visit the website & check it out? Lastly, did you like it? Was it entertaining & fun? Any advice, ideas or tips? File Info: 4 mb .MP4 http://161.58.164.50/tv/Commercial01.mp4 Plays in Quicktime player on my PC -
I think it would be great to have a tunnel mixed up with NASA! The amount of visitors is great and so many people could try bodyflight that way! Since most of the under construction skyventures have received or are receiveing their final parts... perhaps ZeroG will be next!

The L1 in Houston (Adren-L-N 2) is on hold right now while some internal company "stuff" gets worked out. I thought the other tunnels got scratched some time ago, but I don't know for sure. There is so much talk about tunnels in TX.. they want one in Dallas, Austin, San Marcos, 2 in Houston, 1 near Corpus, etc... but I don't think even Texas is 'big' enough to host that many VWTs (wouldn't that be fun though!!) for a couple hundred grand you can buy the origninal Adren-L-N, outfit it with a new motor and your off and flying!

IT'S NOT JUST A HELMET, it's a custom cute, custom fit, & custom painted but most importantly....made especially for you! I dunno about anyone else.. but I would consider that pretty special!!! Can't wait to see it in action... don't mind if I giggle while we fly though do ya.. cuz whenever I see those type of setups on people I can't help but think of BORG!!! (star trek thing) I love it! Glad your all setup now!
