Trampoline Park Opening in Jax (Jacksonville, Longwood: insurance, home, high school)

[Shannon4426]

Now I do have kids, but that is just going to be my excuse to go to this place. It's called Rebounderz and it looks like SO much fun! An indoor park covered with trampolines and foam pits... count me in

I think it's opening in September off of Old St. Augustine...

I have never heard of such a place. Seems like fun.

FWIW ... There used to be an outdoor place that had the same setup (ground level foam filled trampoline pits)
years ago (1960's) on Jacksonville's westside near US17 and San Jaun Ave. They also had an outdoor go-kart track there.

No kidding, I thought these things were a new idea. They're going to have an "Air Dodge Ball" league, that will be worth it just to go watch

Back in 1969 between my junior and senior years in High School, my uncle who owned a custom canvas shop, that made and installed boat tops and side curtains got into making/selling trampolines and hired myself and friend to install them during the summer and on weekends after classes started. Whenever the trampoline/go cart place needed a new mat installed we went there and put it in. If I remember correctly they had a total of 15-10'x6' trampolines and 1 huge one that was 20'X12' (?) that they used to give lessons. They had an A-frame device installed over the big one that they attached the trainee via ropes through a pully and a safety belt to. With at least 6 spotters and a "pully" guy to ensure the trainee never got hurt. Plus I believe that you had to demonstrate to the safety guy that worked there that you could use the trampolines safely, before they would let you use/rent the facillity.

Not sure what "Air Dodge Ball" is unless it shoots the ball at you via air cannon!

Of course there's a waiver! Trampolines are generally excluded from home insurance policies, so I'd expect that to be the case here, as well.

I plan on taking the kids there but it will be expensive. The rates in the Longwood location are 11.99 for the first hour and 9.99 an additional hour.
