mackay is getting a cable park soon!!

and its pretty big!!

and the only reason we are getting it is that there is nothing else we can put in the flood plains haha

another great thing to do in Mackay .you guys are spoilt, what a great place.Loved our visit to the area this winter just passed

As a stand alone business are cable parks very profitable? Has anyone been involved in the business side of one?

anyone know if it was ever looked at for champion lakes out near armadale? would seem suitable if you could do a cost and time share arrangement with the rowing stuff...
i know they did consider a few other leisure functions like rafting etc for it
been tempted to do a guerilla session out there when driving past on a hammering easterly...looked like butter, but wasn't sure if it'd be trespassing [}:)]

Also has anyonee spoken to the owners of Bonneys ski lake. Surely if they got enough interest they would consider some kind of setup?

Yeah sweet where you going to ride the winch? We got one up here in broome tho it doesnt get out much, not many crew that keen up here

Question: how far would people travel for a cable wake park?

Cable parks can be inexpensive to set up if you know what your doing. They can be set up with two towers (13M power poles can be used), one at each end, and a good motor (you can find rebuilt ones that are very strong and ideal).

And then the cable, which is a bit more pricey, concrete anchore points etc.

You can set these ones up in a 100M strip dam, some people already have a few acres and a machine....

I can't see that costing more then $5000. It'd be the insurance and liability that would cost more i think. Of coarse you could just build one and not open it to public but just use it with friends....

If perth wants a cable park, maybe start small like that and see if it all clicks then go bigger?
