Driving the New Jersey Turnpike up to New York City you may have wondered what the giant dome in the distance could possibly be. The real question is, what isn’t the dome. A raceway, a skydiving simulator, a baseball stadium and an indoor ski resort will only be a part of the 4.8 million square foot entertainment, office, hotel and retail complex. Check out some of the highlights of the Meadowlands Xanadu facility that will prove to be a hit for the entire family.
Indoor Skiing- The 250,000 square foot ski area will feature a 140 foot tall run inside a climate controlled dome. The ski area will be open year-round, making it the perfect place to introduce beginners to the sport.
Baseball Stadium- The proposed baseball stadium will be the home to the Bergen Cliff Hawks, a minor league team from New Jersey. The stadium is set to hold 8,000 people and will only be used for baseball purposes.
SkyVenture- A vertical wind tunnel will provide a simulated sky diving experience. This tunnel will allow anyone to fly through the air without fearing for their life.
It’s Sugar!- Straight from “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” this candy store will include a 36,000 square-foot city built from candy, a 30-foot chocolate waterfall and a candy museum.
Can’t wait for your adrenaline filled, sugar-coated adventure? This 2 billion dollar complex is set to open in late 2008.
