Cable Parks in Chattanooga/ATlanta area?

[Vampyre]

I just am just finishing a visit from OWC in Orlando, and returning back to Chattanooga, TN. Is there anything like this near Chattanooga, say within 4 hours away?

[Phil]

No there is not. There are only 4 cable parks in the U.S..OWC, Texas ski ranch, Six rixen which is tampa I believe and theres one in Kansas now. Also where do you usually ride...I live in Chattanooga too.

[138jobe]

Im REALLY suprised you dont see more, are they expensive to build? or just not popular?
I think there is only one Canada in Montreal? correct if Im wrong.

[shagprodigy]

your joking about asking if they are expensive right? think about it man. most of them are man made lakes. all the cable, and poles,and all that. its tremendously expensive to build.

[Budman]

[138jobe]

Actually- Montreal is in Canada.[/quote]

I live in Canada, so I better know where Montreal is. I just forgot to put a "," between Canada and IN.

here lets try again. "I think there is only one in Canada, in Montreal." is that better?

[03Belmont]

Vampyre, nope theres not, where do you ride? Who do you ride with? I live in chattanooga to and ride prolly were you do Wolfteaver Creek

[03Belmont]

shagprodigy, 138jobe, My dad talked to the people that worked at OWC and they told him that they only had $1 million in there whole setup including the building and all that...

[Chad H]

I am sure insurance is VERY expenisve too

[LFADAM]

Phil, ski rixen is del ray beach area in FL.

[138jobe]

03Belmont, one million? thats not to bad, there is a ton of people in the Calgary that could afford that no problem.

We are suppose to have some sort of "resort" but no word has been mentioned at all since March last year. probably went down the drain.

[jamesriver-rider]

arnt there a bunch of cable parks in europe??? and if anybbody has pictures or the mechanics/contols of one id love to see um...

[03Belmont]

138jobe, yea one million, and no thats not bad for a cable lake, boat lake, building, 2 cables and sliders..

[KCW]

[03Belmont]

KCW, thats what they told us...

[Vampyre]

[tuneman13]

03Belmont, ok but they have an artificial lake, two cables, and lights...

The cable and the structure costs about 230 thousand dollars (I think, maybe less).

[Wakebrad]

[nashvillematt]

Sounds like 230 is a hard number to pull out of your ass....Where did you get these figures?tuneman13,

[KCW]

Okay, say it is 230K a cable....That is from Germany think of the dollar exchange rates now. That would be a little over 300K. Can you imagine how much insurance costs. Then permits, buildings, employess, utilities, building a lake, rental gear, computers, etc., etc, etc...

[03Belmont]

KCW, you can but im still gonna stick to my $1 million that I heard about odub... How much did KCW cost

[KCW]

$96.5 million dollars

[03Belmont]

riiiight

[Vampyre]

Hey guys, I know a potential investor for a local cable park. His family owns plenty of businesses in the Chattanooga area, and he is always looking to expand. Anyhow, I told him about OWC, and how there are only about 4 in the nation, and he was very interested. He wanted to see the website, and hear all about it.
What I am looking for is a real cost (not $96.5 mil). Also, does anyone know of any availble land?
Mind you, this is still in discussion, but this man has a knack for making things happen, and also a knack for turning a great profit.
Let me know... you can hit me up on Yahoo or AIM or email

[02Byerly132]

Vampyre..... you live in Ooltewah right? Well haven't you noticed all that land that is over there by the US Express building. I remember they were thinking about putting a water park somewhere over there but it did not get off the ground. BTW who is the potential investor? PM me the name I might know this person.

Peace

[Earl]

it's called consulting
pay for it ,or look the info up yourself
the cost is closer to 100 million
that's what the guys at texas told me

[03Belmont]

There is no way its 100 million shut the Bubb Rubb up...

[KCW]

..but that's what my dad said....

[03Belmont]

Ok here we go..

Lets say

$300,000 for the cable... (set up)

$40,000 for
Land (21 acres)

$200,000 for offices and bathrooms, docks etc. sliders..

$150,000 for Permits, insurance, surveying, perk tests etc.

$200,000 for excavation of lake... etc

$100,000 for employess, utilities etc

We are at just under 1 million where am I wrong on my figures guys? And, yes I did call a friend who does excavation work for the lake price.

[Earl]

your right
we're wrong
your really cool
we're really dumb
your very attractive
we're ugly
i didn't know you researched it
you got me

[03Belmont]

Earl, no dude were talking to someone whos thinking about building one here and I wanna know what it would cost... correct me on the figures

[Earl]

listen let me get realistic with you
there are alot of different types of costs involved in different regions of the country. some govermental (permits, land /water issues) and some enviromental (disturbing habitats/marshlands) and other factors you don't find out until you get involved. asking a person over the internet and saying no dude really, gets you know where. if you are serous you will find a more realistic way to get the information.
end of discussion

[03Belmont]

[KCW]

Hey, Dude I am just telling you what the guys at the park told my grandma.
