Water balls - funny business idea

**EricNHorton** · 05-21-2009 05:04 PM

Here is a good idea to start a small business. Water balls that you can use as an entertainment. You put a man inside such a ball, blow it and place it into some water surface: lake, river, swimming pool… etc

See here for the details:

The water ball is for walking on water, floating on water, also as a float tank, and show business

You can buy such balls and the equipment on the internet. One ball costs around $1000

It's kinda funny and I don't consider as a serious business.. But I think it might be a good opportunity for selling advertising or promotion of something because it will attract a lot of people.

I might be interested in trying this funny thing and maybe even investing some money into it if I find people who is interested in this as well in Chicagoland area.

What do you think?

How would you keep this from fogging up with the hot air and to keep people from suffocating? Seems pretty cool but I dont know that I could spend $1000 on it.

Good point Keven. There's an on land version called 'zorbing' i think or something along those lines. Pretty popular past time just might be a big dangerous on water!

Apparently you have to get out at a certain time as you only have the air in the ball to use.

This ball contains air enough to breath during 30 minutes. But it’s advised to use it only for 20 minutes. It’s has already been used in many places, so it definitely works. $1000 is not cheap but there are some Chinese versions which must be cheaper.
