Uh-oh
According to several folks at the DZ today, there are plans to put in a new park in Cedar Park, apparently near Lakeline. The park will have a water park, a BMX/skateboarding park... AND A WIND TUNNEL! And this is an honest-to-god SkyVentures wind tunnel, not some POS tourist trap.

I might as well just start signing over paychecks now... because my ass is going to be living in that thing!

Rumor has it they're looking at opening in about 2 years; apparently they already have the land.

BTW, this means all you pussies that won't jump out of a plane with me will be in the tunnel when it opens. :>

Sounds great to me. They did a day in one of those things in a recent episode of Mythbusters and it looked like an illicit amount of fun.

You should see people who can actually fly... there's some pretty amazing shit you can do.

looks neat, might have to visit austin just to check it out ^_^

how long do they usually let you play, and how expensive is it?

Presumably you can play for as much as you're paying. In reality, you won't want to do more than 5 minutes at a time max, and that's for experienced jumpers who have built up all those muscles that don't normally get used.

I don't know how much it normally costs; ask [info]calledisrael below; she's actually been in the tunnel IIRC.

This is really good news!!!!!

How was the jumping today? If I can get myself out of bed in the morning, i'm going to SSM. I tried today, but couldn't get up. I think I need thyroid meds or something.

Good until the front came through. Wind changed 90 degrees and went up another 10MPH. No one on that load even landed on the airport, and a tandem PAX broke his leg/ankle. :/
