Cable park business plan

Like everyone´s imagination is slightly different than others, so is the approach to a cable park building. A successful first step into your own cable park journey is to visit as many cable parks as possible and especially those near you. By visiting the existing sites, you can see how a cable system works, it´s capacity and how a cable park will look like once it´s up and  choosing the perfect location where you are going to transform your imagination into reality, keep in mind to position your cable wakepark where the crowd is. Also, it is important that your wake park location is settled in the warm climate with more than 70 sunny days during the entire location is suitable for a cable park? Is possible to build a cable park on different surfaces: lake, sea coast, river, lagoon, and a dam or the artificial lake. When it comes to choosing the right location for a perfect cable water park, you need to look for a landscape with a good climate. The more warm, sunny and non-rainy days you have in a year, the more people will be attracted to your cable wakepark. Citizens or visitors in a circle of 15-30 km and a solid purchasing salty water suitable for my cable park? Of the first public cableways ever built was on the coast of benidorm in spain and the list goes longer as you explore worldwide wakeboarding scene.

If you want to build your cable park on the coast, you have to make sure that the wake park settled in the salty waters must not be exposed to the waves. It is possible to build a waves protector, but that increases the cost of the overall i search for existing lake or try to dig a lake for my cableway? You are planning on digging a lake of your own, there are special permits that need to be acquired before. While it can save you some additional investment, existing lakes may also be difficult to find in a shape or size which lends itself to an effective layout and planned cableway should the shape of the lake and the cable system be? First, most lakes and cable systems were rectangular and designed to accommodate only water skiing. Nowadays when cable wakeboarding is trending on the list of extreme sports, there are many different and more attractive designs arising. For example, building a pentagonal (5-side) shaped cable park system on a lake with an island in the middle, is more appealing to visitors and experienced riders. Island in the middle comes on handy in minimizing the backwash on bigger lakes where the climate is often digging your own or looking for an existing lake where you will implement your design of the cableway, you need to look for at least 80 m wide and 140m long lake. The early days of cable wakeboarding, 4-tower cable park building was trending, but that kind of design is no longer up to date.

Nowadays, a lot of people are finding more suitable with buidling a 6 tower full size cable park on a lakes that is designed to host more challenging cable park projects. It is also possible to build a 5 tower cable park which suits both beginners and advanced is the ideal length of the towers positioned on a lake? Meters which places the running cable at about 6-8 meters above the many people can use a cable system? Total length of the running cable along with the size of the water surface determines how many carriers you can place on the cable park system. While developing a business plan for your cable wake park, this information can be helpful in calculating the overall business flow. For example on a system with 8 carriers, approximately 200 people can use the cable system during the 8-10 hour day. While during the summer and warm sunny weekends, your business will be more is the price of the full size cable? Building a full size cable, there are many factors involved in the overall investment, but as a rough guideline you will need 250. That investment will acquire you to buy a cable system and have an engineer available to help with the installation.

However, there are many other costs involved before you begin with the implementation of the cable system, such as drilling anchors and building the stating dock. Many times, cable wake board parks have additional services such as a restaurants, night clubs or bars to make it more attractive for visitors of all will you need to deal with to get it done? Planning to build your own cablewake park, you need to find suitable location where your design and idea can come to life. There you can start asking questions about the area where you are planning to settle your project. You may also have to deal with local planning agencies, civil engineers, architects, neighbors, as well as federal environmental and engineering you are serious about your investment and project, you are most likely going to have to hire some or all off the following types of organizations listed below:- real estate agent - insurance agent - (business/property/liability) - surveyor - planning/zoning consultant - civil engineer - architect - environmentalist - general contractor - dock builder - utilities contractor – electric, water, and sewer - site prep contractor - earthwork/excavation contractor - land clearing contractor - landscape architect - accountant - real estate and/or land - development attorney - stormwater management in mind there are usually design/build or land development companies that cover several of the above you looking for information on building a cable park, cable park design, or wakeboard cable systems for sale? Whether you are developing a smaller 2-tower park for your own personal use, or have a grand vision for the ultimate destination with every activity and amenity under the sun…or under a roof, we hope to save you time, money, and energy as you follow your passion. There isn’t a lot of free or verifiable information in the cable park industry, so we’ve assembled some basic information here, to help you to sell or trade in your cable system? Like any business, we learned through making our own mistakes, relying on poor advice, breaking things (breaking a lot of things), talking to other cable park owners, studying, and figuring things out on our own. Our primary goal as cable park consultants is to help cable park entrepreneurs and investors avoid some of the common pitfalls most wakeboard parks encounter.

While some die hard riders may be willing to drive up to an hour to go to a cable park, most of your customers will want to stay within about 30 minutes (or less) of home. In fact, in 2010, mhw was one of, if not the very first cable parks to do a public-private partnership with a government agency. The down side is that you can rarely build a fence around a public park and this will effect your operations and security. You’ll also have payments forever, which means you’ll never truly own your park. We can tell you when to cut and run, or when to stick it out and fight for what makes years of operating our own cable park and being forced to repair, improve, and re-engineer our cable systems purchased from another vendor, we are obviously a little biased to our own cable systems (not available for purchase yet – we’re still “safety testing”). We built our systems for our own use, but at some point, when we are happy with the finished product, we’ll sell them to the above said, there are several cable manufacturer options out there and all have their pros and cons. No matter what cable provider you use, we are happy to help you with consulting to ensure you get the best start possible. We have been involved in several “fixes” behind the scenes so we can pick apart any of the cable systems and help you make your own “upgrades”. We also trade-in and resell many of the common cable systems so check with us if we have anything available.

Are something that your core riders will want to hit (a small but important percentage of your total business) so be smart when planning these and don’t go too big, too soon. We know what works, have tested business models, and can point you in the right terms of the cable park itself, a common item that is overlooked is water-breaks or wave attenuation. If you don’t have an island or something to break up the “toilet bowl” effect, people will not like your park as much. Rough water is not cool and many parks overlook this simple r item most often forgotten is shade. Enough said on size & cable r common question we are asked is; “how big should the lake be? We also created a math cheat sheet (with various formulas you will use) that we can utilize to help you plan your site, and calculate 2-tower cable uses an area of approximately 100′ wide x up to 700′ long, or just shy of 1. Ideally, we like to have air and learning cables be in the 400′ to 550′ in length, and no closer than 50′ to any shoreline or the maximum reach of another cable footprint. Feature cables can be longer, up to 700′ long, and need a little more space on each side, or approximately a 75′ minimum. While some of the newer cable systems (like ours) can operate at longer distances, we don’t recommend going longer than 700′ or so.

It’s difficult for your drivers to see much further than that, and it can create a looser/sloppy feeling cable, especially on some of the popular systems, and with those that don’t have the “feel” of riding cable quite yet. Size cables and ’s vary in shape and size but we’ve really grown to like six (6) sided cables in the past few years. A typical footprint for this type of cable can vary radically based on the site, your wishes, and how creative you want to be. When someone comes out with a fsc system that can be longer, with 8 sides, and 2 starting towers, we can talk about larger cable system participant liability, to theft, to vandalism, to acts of nature, you want to be insured properly and prepared to handle whatever might come up. It is still shocking to us that we were one of the first cable parks, if not the very first, to require an actual safety orientation for all participants, on their first visit. Not just a “hello, here is your waiver, there are the rules” but a real explanation of what to expect on property, how things operate, and how to stay safe. As cable park expert witnesses, we hope to ensure you are on the right side of a situation if we are called in to give our opinion. We know what you need to be successful and as one of our services, we are happy to help you plan, select and prioritize the needs for your specific site(s) based on your budget and site are some common items to expect. Are too many specific topics to list here but a business (operational) plan doesn’t even touch on what the realities are of the day-to-day operations.

We know how to develop, build, and operate a cable park, and can teach you what to expect. Well, most of that information is going to be highly confidential but if nothing else you read or hear sticks in your brain, (from us or anyone else) remember this: do not trust information coming from anyone that is not a cable park owner, or hasn’t done what you are trying to do. Many cable parks have failed, or will fail because they didn’t plan income accordingly, were underfunded, or have inexperienced management. Don’t muck it up by being unrealistic or wishful in your ional methods of business financing are becoming easier, especially if you have good credit and/or existing company assets. That said, depending on your location and some other factors we deem important, we may be able to help you raise financing or even fund some or all of the project you have access to unlimited funds, building and operating a cable park is a full time job with zero/low pay for at least 2-3 years. Not one single owner has ever “retired rich” from the wakeboard industry, and many parks have been built with money that doesn’t need to be paid back in a short time, or at focused – don’t get ’s easy to get wrapped up in the 100’s of cool ideas or others opinions on what you should do, but don’t get distracted from “getting it done” by being a democracy or focusing on items you can do later, if you get that far. Many parks have failed before they got off the ground because the scope of the project grew too large. Disney world is one of the coolest places on the planet but it wasn’t built can mhw do for me? Our prices are not set in stone but should give you an idea of what to expect, depending on our time tation must have a solid presentation to quickly convey your message, and sell your cable park idea to others.

Once you’ve seen our presentations and understand the common discussion areas and topics, we can create a template for you and your area, to build parks have failed before they started, because a “wakeboard dreamer” (*hey, we’re wakeboarders too so don’t get in a ruffle just yet) wasn’t properly prepared to pitch a project or stand in front of 10 or 1000 people and articulate words to people. And if this is the one -do or die- presentation to make or break your project, you want to make sure you have the right people standing next to , be careful promoting yourself as an cable park expert if you are clearly not. And unless you are a wealthy vc living in the valley, flip flops and shorts are not acceptable for meeting ial plans are usually one of the major parts of the business plan and take the most time and research and complete. Most projections are just that, an educated (or non-educated) guess; but we can help you focus on what to really expect for p&l and help you plan accordingly based on real experience and knowledge. We are armed with an incredible amount of private data from various cable parks so our numbers are always safe and ss (operational) exact prices do you have? Will update this component as needed to include more detail, but below are some approximate and realistic numbers to have in mind for building out a small or large cable park. This will get you a 2-tower system ($35,000 to as high as $80,000 depending on the brand), the needed concrete or other anchors ($3000 to $10,000), and the electrical ($10,000 to $50,000) depending on what is needed for your estimated cost does not include permits, land, water, lake or site prep, features, docks, buildings, improvements, payroll, taxes, rental equipment, insurance, or anything else – just one two-tower cable system that 5 or 6-tower (full size) system will end up costing you approximately $400,000 or more. This cost will vary wildly depending on the brand of system used, the land and lake requirements, whether or not there is land or docks around the perimeter of the cable for the walk-back, whether or not you have an island or another water break in the middle and on exposed sides, and whether you need to place towers and anchors in the water or on either type of cable system, the two-tower cable system or the full size cable system, if you are “crazy” enough to slap a building over the whole thing and make it year-round, the price will be slightly higher…. A safe estimate is to plan up to 10k per regular sized item, and 20k to 30k for the really cool pools, gaps and other features that the big boys will want to jib on.
