Anyone know Eloy tunnel status?

Recommended Posts

Was looking for a status on the tunnel, but the www.skyventureaz.com website is down. Hope that's not a bad sign. I've heard there's been a bunch of delays and overbudget issues.

Was out at Eloy last month, and they were just putting the last exaust pipe on. Looked a long way from completion. Anyone have a good guess on when it's going to be running?

Just like in SoCal, water is really expensive so the landing areas get most of the water.



Ah, but the grass part of the packing area at Perris remains green all year long. ;)

Water out here is more expensive than electricity!
The water we do use is recycled from the ponds (irrigation ditches) to the landing areas. We re-seed the complex including the landing areas twice a year.
Our packing as you know is primarily indoors.

The tunnel is in a great location. The city electricity is more expensive than that of the county. By placing the tunnel where it is, it cut down on the projected electricity costs by 20% (County is 20% less than city)
Additionally, the plan in the future includes a dormitory and a third landing area inthe vacinity of the tunnel.
There will of course be a "no fly" zone 500 feet above the structures.
Just waiting for the first yahoo!!;)
We're getting closer:)

Its a surprise! shhhh:P

I thought it would have been fun to place the large soccer balloon uptop. The wind tunnel blowing it would look like and ice cream cone.
On another note Axel told me about a conversation had with a whuffo...went something like this:" Well what about those tube thingys...do the skydivers shoot out the top?" The reply was.."Well yes they do! They come out the top and it shoots them all the way to 13,000 feet!"
Classic!;)
