Not sure where you saw Whitewater Center is losing money (granted this article is from Feb.. but I couldn't find anything that said it was losing money.. not saying it doesnt exist just please provide source)
Charlotte Bizjournls source. Can't link on phone. Will later. 12 million is government subsidies and writing off 26 million in bad loans. That must be the new math

It is referencing 2010. That was 5 years ago... when if i remember correctly nothing was doing very well nationwide. Much of it had to do with projections made in 2007. Not sure if you remember what happened the following year. The article I posted is from this year and shows record profitability. NASCAR HOF is a problem no doubt.. but this has nothing to do with Charlotte and has everything to do with NASCAR becoming more and more unpopular.

For the purposes of this conversation 3 years ago. The article has stats are 2012-13. Record profit you say?? If any business was being carried by the taxpayers. 12 million in subsides. Along with the banks writing off 26 million. That 38 million in 7 years of bailouts. That's 5.28 million a year. That doesn't sound like a profitable business to me. Or a successful one either. Sounds like the taxpayers got taken for a ride again.
It's kinda ironic that these 3 attractions that have been mentioned over and over on this thread. 2 are basicly failures if not for bailouts. The last is struggling quite a bit. There is serious talk about a whitewater center at Falls Lake. If this is what it looks like no thank you.
c'mon man don't get petty, both cities are pretty damn safe honestly, people need to stop living in fear, and travel a little bit.
@Tarheelhombre yeah you can adjust the amount of resistance, I hit up Cary parks and recreation about adding this to bond park, along with climbing boulders, I also wanted them to add some outdoor ellipticals along lake crabtree, a representative told me she liked my idea and would pass it along, but I'm not holding my breath. (even though upon research it isn't that expensive to implement, a point I made sure to make)
