Dave,
You seem really passionate about seeing something great come out of the north river project.
However I'm not sure a Cedar Point-style sky ride is the best people mover. I spent two summers working at the Point and Sky Ride is super sensitive wind. And if you've ever ridden that ride on a cold October evening, you'd be probably be wishing you were in something enclosed.
Keep your ideas coming!
Thanks for the info Rachel. I really appreciate your perspective since you have first-hand knowledge.
Perhaps a closed cabin would be a better fit for our area. I assume Cedar Point's ride is decades old, even if well maintained. I'll bet someone has developed a more wind-resistant version in recent years.
I'm grateful that you took the time to post, if for no other reason than it will generate dialog during the planning stage when planning and decision-making are critical.
Dave
