6 to 10 thousand pounds of ice per day to keep what we have now fresh. Our ice house can't do anymore than that and still have back up ice.
It takes a lot of maintaining and man made snow to keep it going so they don't make it very big
I had a blast with my 11 and 7 y.o. I don't think the purpose is a thrill ride. It is to mimic sledding with family and friends. Not something you get to do in Dallas that often. It is long and fast enough to be fun, without being scary for the younger kids. I feel it accomplishes that very well.
I was on it back in December, it was fun as well,I even fell out of it due to the lane having bad spot towards the bottom they had to re ice, me and my kids enjoyed it
