i wonder if any of you professionals out there can gestimate the price of one beach like this? i am trying to put 6 of them end to end.

i don't understand...
why would you want to ski inside?
or be at the beach inside?

ski project is in Libya,
beach is for Kazakhstan.
oil money.

are those places affordable to go to?

i mean, the people going to these places, from lybia or kazakhstan, are they just everyday people, or are they more upper class? not a critique, just a question.

they are sun tan loving adventurers who will go to these places to keep their sanity and get sense of the community around them.

okay, i buy that.

i will admit to being a snob about manufactured snow and hills though.

I went to the indoor beach at the Edmonton Mall (waaaaay up north in Canada). ther are no beaches up there, so they built one indoors.
no idea how much it cost to build... but it helped put the mall on the map.

I think it was 20-30$ a person (US$) to get in for a day. Not that much more than a comparable one outdoors in the states. The key is that it is packed often, since there are no alternative places to be outside much of the year. The one up there has several slides plus a wave pool....

psychotropism - since when do real outdoor beaches charge people $20-30 for daily admission???

i went on those slides on my 12th birthday, i didn't ever think about how they were there because there aren't beaches around canada....
are there no amusement parks or ice skating rinks up north either?
that mall is on the map because it is the largest mall in the world and has as many fantastical features to make it so. not because people needed it's amenities.

wasn't miami supposed to get a ski dome like this at one point?

unbelievable, they are going to knock that huge ski dome building down? it's only been there 11 years!

ski dome has been closed for some time now.

i visited in 2001 and it had already at that point lost its popularity - i remember only a few people there skiing...

lower budgets could be satisfied with few alterations. could bring the ticket prices down a bit.top could be transparent material. 2 of them side by side would be a nice beach in kazakhstan.my coisin says he can get partial EU money for something like this. don't forget there is a lot of cheap natural gas to keep this place warm in almaty.and we are not talking about saving the planet here, just helping some kazakhs to gain some beach etiquette.

does anyone know by heart how much one of these loaded structures cost? (about the same size of football field)
thanks in advance.
