Ride and Fly High is a company designed to promote "Wakeboarding", wakeboards, boats, and apparel. We are a company in the making and are located out of central Minnesota. Currently the temp. outside is -10 deg. Riders in the norhtern states are limited to a short riding season. We would like to know if you think there would be a demand for an indoor cable park in Central MN.

That would be epic...I live in central Illinois and would make a trip up there to ride at least 2 or 3 times during the winter months. Go for it!

Heck yeah I would - I cannot ride much so an indoor cable park would be awesome.

Ya I would defiantly get a season pass and I know alot of my friends want to ride but dont have a boat. But I would make it closer to the Minneapolis, Blaine area. Go for it, it would be sick Very Happy

Unless it's really close to the Cities, you'll have a tough time attracting folks. Especially in this economy.

An outdoor park would likely be more cost effective if you could keep it open year round for Wakeboarders and Snowboarders.

Just my $.02

I have often thought about this myself, retrofiting an old warehouse some where in the cities to fit a small cable park inside, I would love if their was an indoor cable within a couple hours of the cites. count me in for a season pass!

Sounds sweet. Maybe not even a bad idea to have just about anywhere. Especially up North though. Good idea.

This would be a great idea. Having somewhere within driving distance would be a lot better than having to fly somewhere to ride cable.

The problem with the surf wave at the Mall of America is only one person can ride it at a time for a few mins. Long lines and lots of rules. I think the case is made with the MoA that the demand is there!

I heard that Wisconson Dells is opening an outdoor cable park maybe this summer? Would be the first up north.

But to be able to wake in the winter? Season pass me! Please make it close to the population though. I think Blaine is a good pick because it is already a sports/activity center in the Twin Cities.

Good luck and good job for your efforts!
