Melbourne Indoor Snowboard Park with Real Snow

Avatar

Bloody hell, I cant fathom paying that much for 30m/7secs of riding, completely unstrap, walk back up, strap back in, wait your turn and repeat for one hour.  Elwood skate bowl would be much more entertaining.

my idea for a indoor snow complex is to get a skyscrapper and gut the inside making a spiral ramp from the top down

then each floor you would have terrain parks and features all over the place

get to the bottom unstrap walk to the express elevators and head back to the top

anyone got a spare Billion $$$$$ or so ..........

I like your thinking, perhaps think bigger, buy an entire city block that is chock full of skyscrapers and interconnect them all in the same way described above, I think it might achieve a minus 500 stars NABERS rating due to the astronomical running costs mwhahahaha!

I went to check it out on the weekend. Wanted $5 just to have a look; gay. From what I could see through the window, the features were A1, but the run was way too short i.e. bearly enough time to set up for, do feature, then land. Half the run width but twice as long would be awesome, but of course they would need to find another location.

Not worth it IMO.
