Hey , I'm gonna be a post whore tonight. I was just wondering how a cable park operates. Is there a line to go next , and is there a dude in a tower runnin the cables? What happens when you fall? Do you pay by the run or by the day or what? Sorry so many questions , I'm just curious. peace.

fixed speed. there is a line that you wait in for the cable to come by and pick up your rope to pull you around. charged by the hour. laps depend on the place you are at and how crowded. swim to the shore and walk back around to the line when you fall.

at TSR the prices are $21- 2hours $28-4hours $38-all day pass and $25-night session(8:30-midnite) the speed varies at each place KC runs at like 18.4mph and TSR runs about 19.4mph

yea me too , it'd be a nice break from being behind a boat every time. Not that that's bad of course!! Just a change in pace.

how long do you have to swim out of the way before the next guy? if you take a wicked fall and cant move out of the way fast enough wouldnt you be screwed?

The other day I found a video tape from a comp at Princes in London last summer (might have been the UK Nationals). This is Jack Wayne nailing a cablescrew (air double S bend) and then a vulcan:
