New Tunnel in Roosendaal, Netherlands	Can't Post

http://www.indoorskydive.com/

Should open end of Summer 2005 according to the site.
Roosendaal is in the bottom part of Holland (near Belgium)

Might be a cool thing for germans, belgians, luxemburgers and dutchmen (and women:)

End of Summer 2005 is WAY to optimistic. Even an "off the shelf" tunnel (SV, which I think it's not) couldn't be built and commissioned until then.
I'M GONNA EAT SOME TUBE STOES IF THEY OPEN THIS YEAR!!!
Just a lot of hot air, IMHO.

Still hope they prove me wrong, though. Wink

I can't read most of the site, and we've not heard anything before, but with projecting completion in the next couple of months one would hope they've been building it for a while now...

but HEY, IF I HAD A DIME FOR EVERY WIND TUNNEL WHOS OWNERS/MANUFACTURER PREDICTED IT WOULD BE OPEN MONTHS BEFORE IT ACTUALLY DID....I'D BE A RICH RICH RICH WOMAN TODAY! Laugh

ok.. maybe a dollar!

Oh btw.. nice to see you around here~! Smile

YOU may not have heard anything before, but this tunnel has been talked about for a looong time already (albeit in Dutch).

Not saying they are or are not going to make it, just that this is not a recent thing.
