ryoder 1,590 #76 June 2, 2005 Quote Is this tunnel going to be in the mall where 25 and 470 meet on the South side of town, or is it going to be over in Westminster off of 36? This photo was made prior to the Brunswick being built. The Brunswick would be dead-center in the photo: http://www.dimensional.com/~ryoder/tunnel.gif (Ignore the map pin) Edited to add: Westminster would not issue permits. It is going into Lone Tree."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davedlg 0 #77 August 31, 2005 It's True!!! There is a tunnel being built in Colorado. I was in the area for work this afternoon and I snapped these pictures. I even heard they were on schedule to be open by the end of the year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IMGR2 0 #78 September 1, 2005 Thats freaking awersome! I have only seen computer generated pictures of the recirculating wind tunnel. Can't wait to see this one finished and running. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SVCO 0 #79 September 1, 2005 Yes, it is true. We have laid the ground work for three years. Our foundation took 1 month, the return air towers took 6 days and the steel in the picture is two days. We are a year round, all weather recirculating tunnel. Flight chamber is viewable to The Entertainment District of Lone Tree, Colorado, next to Park Meadows Mall. Bowling, Theaters, Putt Putt and lots of dining. 1200 hp of Unlimited Freefall, Unlimited Fun. See you soon. Norm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freefalling2day 0 #80 September 1, 2005 The cooling is done by the louvers on the return air towers. No AC and no heat added. The movement of the airflow and the heat off of the motors will heat the air. The louvers are closed to keep the heat in and opened to cool the tunnel off. If you want to see one that is partially built go to www.airkix.com and check out "pix & flix" Colorado and New Hampshire will be the first of this type in the US but UK is going first. By the way,... I don't know how long a fart will smell in the tunnel but we are moving a million cfm. Blue Skies! Laurie Skyventure NH Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It will be located in Lone Tree, Colorado just south of Denver. So, a trip out this way to snowboard, play in the tunnel, and then make some skydives, is a great idea.
