Vevay's potential for a mini golf complex - concept #1

When going on vacation we always search for places where Pa can show off in front of his 2 boys. So, mini golf is a staple in our household. We've been to some pretty elaborate set ups throughout the country; some have fire spewing volcanoes, whack your ball over rapids, pick a tube and hope it comes out. We’ve also been to some not so elaborate set ups; like those with 2x4 edges, paper mache zoo animals and some where you never get your ball back. No matter the setup, the game is the same and almost always provides an hours worth of entertainment.

We’ll get into the business numbers in a few days, but if someone in Vevay were to build a mini golf complex, here's one possibility that could help it get started.

How about using the currently unoccupied, town-owned, tract of land on the east end of Vevay to build a modern attraction. The east end is clearly a gateway from Belterra, Kentucky and Cincinnati, so it makes it ideal for setting an attraction for visitors. But Vevay being as small as it is, this location is also ideal for residents because it is still walk-able for most.

Taking cues from a place called Great Times in Indianapolis, I've combined a 36-hole mini golf course and go-kart track into one complex, with the possibility of modern architecture, water features, parking, arcade games and possibly even a small restaurant all built into one tract.

These drawings are obviously just conceptual in nature and there are no plans in the works, but the possibility of creating a great spot for locals and visitors alike is just at the east end.  Let me know what you think.
