SkyVentures Arizona - What happened?

Recommended Posts

I was doing some reading on DZ.com and found the SkyVentures press release that mentioned the construction of a tunnel financed and under way in Phoenix. The press release was Spring-ish 2002.

So I did some other searching on the site and the most recent post I can find regarding the Phoenix tunnel is from January 2003 where people are talking about trying to get tunnel jobs.

I've never seen any evidence of a tunnel here and a check at the SkyVentures website revealed that they don't even have a tunnel in Phoenix listed as "under-construction."

Does anyone know what happened to that project?

Thanks!

Lou

I believe it was a funding problem (it always is)

Last I heard, they actually had a signed agreement with the Native Americans to build on their land, near the big casino/Firebird speedway in Chandler.

Dunno if that changed or not.

That could make a tunnel trip even more fun.

I'm wondering if there will be stuff like Airspeed camps at all of the tunnels or if Airspeed would do camps at AZ and someone like Majik would do camps just in FL or something like that.

tunnelcamp.com (which contracts the members of airspeed) will conduct tunnel camps at the various skyventure tunnels. don't forget that while there may be an RW camp going on at one tunnel, there may be a freefly camp going on at another. ;)

Oh, can you imagine it....! If the tunnel camp doesn't make you "Alieve Needing" sore and wish you had a week to sleep it all off, just add the fun of drunken tom-foolery and spending ALL the rest of your money in the slots! Yeah, that's it! ;)
