MattM 0 #5 August 4, 2006 QuoteAnyone know what the startup costs are on a new tunnel? Depends on what size you want... as far as SkyVenture goes I think they start at 2mil for the smallest. Matt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That doesn't include land and assembly of the tunnel. Matt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squarecanopy 0 #8 August 8, 2006 A friend of mine and his Dad were trying to get investment info on the tunnel - My secondhand info is that Skyventure Colorado (the recicirculating one) is about a 7 million dollar deal - but if you go to any of the Skyventure websites, they have a tab for investors and I'm sure they would be willing to talk numbers to anyone serious about investing in a wind tunnel with them. Just burning a hole in the sky..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thelem 0 #11 August 15, 2006 Yeah, but that $350,000 tunnel is portable and only big enough for 2-way (and probably not even really that). Doesn't really compare to something like a skyventure or bodyflight bedford. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doesn't really compare to something like a skyventure or bodyflight bedford. The portable was very choppy but there was fast air, no sweet spot, and a built in turn from the prop. I LOVED flying the portable, it was super fun to be flying and having canopies landing right next to me! I've done 2 way freeflying in an 8 foot portable tunnel and it was great. Def. not the SkyVenture or Bedford (from what I hear) environment.Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
