  1. Simpson you took business studies I run businesses for a living. Your CW was 10 A4 pages long the contract for the land is 10,000 pages long and the legal team has been on it for 6 months now. To make a business viable takes a lot of planning and a lot of hard work especially when its being done from Scratch. As for a hard nosed business man to invest thats not needed as The funds are already in place and the plans are not far off completion for submission to the counsel. a 15 acre site costs approx £1.6 mil. The building costs for buildings car parks and tracks and trails approx £3m thats an investment before I start of £4.6 million which in any hard nosed businessmans eyes is a risk. If it fails its not due to the lack on investment or ideas. Transport to the Park has now been rethought we will have a fleet of 4 Buses specially adapted to take bikes on board ye users will have to pay for the service this is a business afterall. Lack of post is due to lack of progress but pretty soon there will be a website, joining line and marketing campaign. No technical basis I do beg to differ but the proof of the pudding will be in the eating. Finally I do apologise for all the posts here, I tied to do them as word documents and upload them but it will not work so I would have them to a high standard but to no avail. I am new to this forum so things will improve as I learn its features
  2. Update on Park Land deal has been delayed as the seller has difficulties. The Park in Wrexham is dependant on this parcel of Land. I am currently looking for alternatives but I do not want to scale down the size of the Park which on Completion will be the largest in Europe wit the scope of it being largest in world in the future. Wrexham was chosen ot for financial reasons but for the locality to the Management team I will be putting in the Park, I am a businessman and this is a specialist market so I have recruited the best team I can find who Live in Owestry so W. the ony example I can gve frexham was chose. I have contacts with American Skateparks and the plans fom the Skating points of view was to organise UK/USA competitions with a team from the new park being sponsered by my group of companies to take part this meant no cost for travel or accomodation for the team. I am not willing to give the location away in case of rival bidders but once its secured you will hear about it my marketing team will make sure, the name will be provided by way of a top energy drink and my marketing team are already working on the campaign. As some posts say I am not working on a build it and they will come but on the basis of people through the door because for the venture to survive I need customers. Most of my enquirys at the moment are tentative but once we have the land we will ave a open day to show everyone what is oming. Its a long process and timescales at te moment have not been finalised but once I have the land and permissions the pak will open within 12 months. Insurances yes as mentioned they are extortionate for this type of business as the liabilities are high. I for see 2 types of insurance the standard insurance for the park will be covered from the admission prices but if you were to purchase your own which will be on sale at the park the admission to the park would be lowered the only example I can give is I envisage half the price of admission would be for insurance premiums. Finally like I have said before this is a private venture. the purchase of the land lowers our operating costs as we will not have to pay rents so kep the costs to you the customer down. The reason I joined this forum was to start raising awareness of the park which you discusiions are doing for me thank you
  3. Can I say somthing on this issue This is gonna be an entirely private venture. The deal for the land has nearly been done. Only involvement with council will be change of use and planning permission. Features and tracks is what i want input in we are planning a beginner course with supervision and advice. A resident Pro BMXer I cant say who yet but hopefully getting commitment in next few months. The BMx and Skateparks will bein same complex and maybe in some areas bmx and skteparls will merge but be separate by bridges and tunnels. There will be 3 courses are plans are Beginner intermediate and pro one snag will be you will have to show what level your at to get on the higher courses. But there will be advice and tuition to progress you. As for the pro course we have great plans but at the moment we aint saying nothin as we dont want other parks nickin the ideas. 15 acres is not a lot of land. I have taken on board some of the comments on Pricing. Also we plan to have skate and bike repair shops and also maintenance workshops for people to learn how to do it themselves. There will be free parking and we are looking into gettin a bus laid on from Liverpool to the park and from Srewsbury. Cost of transport will include admission to the new park and return to pick up points.
  4. These will be on a 15 acre site Bike will be on multi terrain but would like input from possible users what you want to see there. there will be a hangout area and repair and custom shop at advanced stage of talks with all suppliers. Memberships will be reuired £10 but this will give you 5 free hours after you have used up the 5 free hours entrance will be £2.50 none members £1.50 members this giving you 1 hourtrack time. both skate and bike areas will be indoor and outdoor and regular comps will e held. I want input we plan to devote 10 acres to bike park and 5 acres to skatepark. Also looking for anyone wih details of old skatepark owners daredevils.
