    It'd be cool if they added one of these to Kidzopolis next year! They don't even have to change the name much, just change the C's to K's. ;)

    Actually, it would be really cool if they add Skyline Attraction's two other products in Rockville next year. Spin-U-Win and Strike-U-Up would be great compliments to Fireball.

    Ya that would be a great little investment. Only about 500,000 dollars which they probably make in 2 weeks

    Is that really half a million bucks? Seems like it should be a lot less. The quality looks good and all but I doubt it costs that much to make it.

    Most Smaller kiddie family ride will run 2-3 hundred K. I doubt this would be more then 350K

    Well I was just giving an estimate of what I thought it was with that and the 2 other games. So probably more like 250,000 dollars

    It's not but he makes a good point that it's a small investment that can easily be paid off unlike many of their latest investment which they will be paying off for years.
    It's an great find and yes your estimate is a bit high. but it's a good conversation piece.

    no to get off topic but I worked a beer kiosk at Xfinity Theater in Hartford this summer- for most concerts I grossed between $3400 and $5100. Thats only open for 3.5 hrs

    I have been working a beer kiosk at UCONN football and during that same time period, I am grossing between $4500 and $5000.

    I also know what the food shacks at both venues make between 10-20k each event and that's only in about 6 hours.
    I worked a beer booth at the Saratoga Ny Ampitheater and we made 21k during the Dave Matthews concert in 4 hours.
    Jones Beach Ampitheater we did 7k on a booth that sold water, soda and pretzels during a Justin Beiber show... So I am betting that SF makes most of their revenue on concessions and season pass sale and retention. After operating costs they could probably still clear a couple hundred thousand on a good week, the big new attractions drive up season pass sales which brings more guests into the park for concessions profits
