Read the nice article on the new KC cable park, people in Kansas are lucky, and this is not a knock on Kansas by any means, but how in the world does Kansas have a cable park (which is frozen over half the year) and a place like Arizona doesn't? I know we used to have one (Ski Springs) years ago that shut down, but I couldn't imagine a cabel park out her in AZ being anything but extremly successfull year round. Who do you talk to to get the ball rollin' on something like that?

What happened to Ski Springs? I remember living in Tempe in 92 and driving by it often.

I believe it's Crystal Point Estates. Elliot and McQueen.

why isn't there a cable park in Southern California?

Oh yeah....we need a lake...that we can actually get in.

Ski springs is Playa Del Ray estates. Crystal point was built just south east of the cable park. There has already been multiple people trying to build another cable in Arizona Myself included. When I was working on it we ended up with all the funding needed to build an exact replica of the OWC but were turned down by multiple people regarding the water rights issue. Arizona has put a stop on all proposals that involve building a lake. The only resource we didn't look to much into was reclaimed water. If anyone in Arizona is looking to reopen this issue and try to open a cable. give me an email. I have alot of info and prices on the different cables and where to get them and I would love to be involved.

Kansas is just so much cooler than Arizona. The cable that used to be in Arizona was taken down and is now OWC. Also the lake isn't frozen half of the year; I rode yesterday. I love to invest 5 bucks for a cable in Arizona.

I don't want to sound like an idiot, but what is a cable park?

Hopefully you guys can get around the water issues in Arizona. I'd much rater travel to AZ than FL and FL is closer for me. There is just so much more to do in AZ I feel. Much more fun for an outdoorsman.

I really wish that they could make a cable park from Tempe town lake. It would do so good with everybody driving by it and a college right next to it, but that will never happen.

There are actually some people that are trying to work out a plan for one to be built in Indiana right now. I think within the not to distant future you are going to start seeing alot more cable parks pop up around the entire country.

I like the guy who says that OWC is the destination in Orlando. Maybe for wakeboarders...helllooooo Disneyworld! I know a lot of people who worked as contractors in the area who had seen OWC on their way to the airport, but didn't know what it was until I went and reported back.

Fairland Ski area for a mil is a bargain, I hope someone gets in on this.
