The same could be said for Sandusky Ohio. Further away from Chicago but would also pull in more from OH/PA/NY/Canada.

Hey, how about a Chicago tunnel in Philly? It could pull in people from all over the east coast. Or one in Brussels could attract the west Europeans too.
Just think of the business you could attract putting the Chicago tunnel in Shanghai!

Really.
heh, for the love of god, someone needs to build a tunnel in this area. There are like a bajillion people in the chicago market. We have 5 turbine DZs (including one of the largest in the country) which pull the Northern IL / Southern Wisconsin market and a handful of cessna dropzones on top of it.
The market is here, I am actually shocked it has taken this long.

That's awesome! I live about 5 minutes from there, so that's perfect for me. Its also right off the I294, which means easy access from the Chicago highway system for everyone in Indiana / Wisconsin.

South Seattle has a 14' tunnel. Business is so good they're planning a second 14' tunnel on the North end of town. I kid you not.Quote

Crazy, I read this news yesterday as well about the chicago market - hoping it works out and I hope it's 14' round.

We're hoping for one in the Mall of America (Minneapolis) area. The damn place has indoor rollercoasters, underground aquariums, Water parks and Lego Land. You'd think a 16' wind tunnel would be a no brainer?

The CFO for iFlySeattle is a good friend of mine. He said that the majority of their business is from non jumpers that live in a 15 mile radius. That's why they think the tunnel 40 miles North will steal little, if any, business from the South location. Wild, ain't it?QuoteI would hope they plan for two of them,,its crazy around here with socermoms and tourists,,it'll be swamped and regular jumpers will be waiting,,,
