popsjumper 2 #9 December 15, 2010 I have no clue where they are getting the idea that skydiving is cheaper than the tunnel excepting maybe Lodi. From the SkyVenture Orlando web site for skydivers: 5 Minute Block - $79.95 ($16/min) 10 Minute Block - $149.95 ($15/min) Now add on skydive training/equipment costs and ZOWEEE!

adagen 0 #11 December 15, 2010 Actually it was a throwaway comment in response to the earlier post on poverty, not a serious comparison. However, UK tunnel minutes are substantially dearer than US ones Anne Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
