Maybe 20, 25, 35, would be my estimate. I had some speed issues on the third, hitting it switch was basically impossible.

Update for LMP:
After the jumps currently in place
huge-ass butter box, about 5 or 6 feet up, followed by wallride with toejam rails on each side
long down bar, super smooth, followed by down c-rail, higher up than it was before, perfect for 4s out.
on the far right after those pairs of features, there's a tube set up as a stall with a mini wallride at the tail end of it. Weird but fun.
I can see the DFD donkey dick tube already set up right after that, although it's not open. get hyped!

i wish this had been accurate, but last two jumps were 35 to 50, measured.  tom changed the lips on several occasions but overall lengths were constant.

you pay 25 bucks for four hrs and its sort of lame. the jump is aerialist style and its not really worth it.

How crowded is the airbag? How are the lines on the lift that serves it? Is it lapable?
Thanks!!

rate this up so we can get to round 2! we filmed this all in 1 day last weekend but the bottom jump line was closed for the shop showdown. so we had to work with the medium jump line. Thanks!
