Singapore/IFly Wind Tunnel

[rehmwa 2]

So the Parachutist from a couple months back had a neat Skyventure back cover with pictures of the sites in operation and sticky note with those underconstruction on it.

Who knows if those "under construction" are REALLY under construction or just more of those that are "under consideration"?

Because one of the was Singapore, and I'm in this week and would like to go to the site just for the fun of it - even if it's just a hole in the ground right now.

Sounds like completion is expected to be Q1-2K9, if any place can do it on time, my money is on Singapore

does anyone know what the specs are on this windtunnel?

[Chrisky 0]

AFAIK (dont remember where I read it) it will be same specs as Airkix (14 ft/1200hp IIRC). When I was last there in August they were training the Singapore instructors.

The mind is like a parachute - it only works once it's open.
From the edge you just see more.
... Not every Swooper hooks & not every Hooker swoops ...

Has Airkix grown ??? When they built it, it was only 12 ft...

and 1000hp

I spent a few days in that specific area and so to on Santosa Island, great place for a visit and cheap
And only a $25 cab ride from downtown Singapore.

Better never to have met you in my dream than to wake and reach for hands that are not there.

Sorry, had the german tunnel specs in my head... partly... That'll be 2000 hp...

Saw a couple of the instructors getting training at Airkix a couple of months ago - from there they were moving on to iFLY sf bay I believe.

According to them, the tunnel would be opening in August 2009?

I just heard from a very good source that they are looking at Dec 2009.

Hey Tim, I am moving to Singapore from NZ in a month or so. Do you go up to Malaysia for any jumping or is it a bit of a mission? Do you have your rig with you and if so do you have any problems storing it with the humidity? Cheers.

Construction is underway, or at least site excavation. Info is on their FB page

They're slated to open end of 2010, and they still don't have pricing available. Someone mentioned the FB account or you could try their website as well. Not much info, though.

Why don't you just go to the police station in a red clown suit and let everybody know what we're doing here?

I have a phobia for moobs. Thanks, youknowwhoyouare.

So what's the go, any completion date firmed up yet or prices?
