| i live 20 minutes away. it's getting there. you can see the actual tube ramp now. it's kinda odd looking, but cool.
i have a feeling it is mostly going to be a park setup. i bet it would be $100+ a day.
they'd definitely have a big shop there and new equipment will be expensive, but they will do fine business wise. i can see the shop selling new stuff as well as old gears, meaning let someone trade in old equip for a new equip and sell old equip to someone at a margin. there are many golfshops around here that do that and the shops that are in the golf-ranges are doing fine.
i just heard that a very well known local ski merchant ( princeton ski shop) is going out of business. i think experienced skiers research more and order it from the net. but, here in the metro NYC, there are always many many beginners and parents that rather pay some more and get professional advise in the shops.
iirc, the ones in dubai and japan are doing just fine.
