Default Re: U.S.'s largest wakeboard park to be built in Guthrie

I don't know about Jack Wonders other posts, but it certainly is not out there to question the viability of this buiness.

I've done a little poking around and I would certainly question whether they have the cash to do this right. I also think their other activities are almost soley based on the wakeboarding being a big enough success to bankroll the rest or attract a major investor.

Don't get me wrong, I love the idea and would be there to check it out.

But unless this is done really really well (code word for lots of money), this could end up being a muddy hole with some telephone polls, cables, dirt track and a paint ball field.

Throw in a some mobile homes and you have Bubba's Paradise. That's it! "Bubba World!" Sponsored by Coors.

Done right though, and it would make for an entire weekend getaway.

As I said in another thread, most lawyers laugh when they hear "liability waiver" as it does nothing to protect from negligence, which is at the heart of every injury lawsuit.

I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade. I hope it works, I just don't see a few of the key ingredients to equal a longterm success.
