This would be so awesome and would 100% guaranteed make $ and be successful
Im curious how they would control the amount of people that are riding?
Like make a appointment or something?
It would be so crowded all the time i feel like.

Back when Vans Skate park was around they would have time sessionsand you would pay ahead of time for the time session. each slot only allowed so many riders. IIRC it was 2 hr sessions. you would get a wrist band or a card or something and they would verify you were allowed to ride when you went in. this prevented it from being over crowded. at the end of each session they would empty the park and allow the next session in.

Unfortunately, we know how that turned out

Hopefully this venture fares better than the Vans park. I'm guessing there will be a lot of initial users, but that interest wanes after the initial wow factor wears off. Fingers crossed that it sticks around for a while though.

That's what I said about indoor skydiving in my town... 3 years later... he's still there!

So who knows.

i think Vans closed because of other reasons. I don't think the mall would renew the lease. I think it had something to do with liability and injuries and all the trouble and fights that it was bringing to the mall. They had plenty of business even at the end.
