Ontario place Abandoned! We so need to play airsoft! I know it'd be super hard to get hold of, Insurance up and stuff, but someone needs to host a game there! That would be totally awesome! Loads of builds! The big Movie place there too!

Ah, took me a while. You meant "Ontario *P*lace abandoned". I thought it was some sort of generic place in Ontario. Yeah, that would be some game if the grounds were open. Heck, I'd do a slice of Centre Island :)

The likely easiest way to have something like this happen would be for an established businesses (airsoft or paintball) that alrdy has insurance and such in place would have to work out a "special event type thing with maybe a few games at regular hours, 12am- 10 pm, or whatever is regular for indoor on the weekends. Then perhaps closing off with a "milsim" in the warmer months utilising some of the outdoor area ad well as the buildings. Otherwise it wouldn't be very profitable for anyone. Would be best if more time was available before teardown, generate buzz and get some big games going with some American airsoft er traveling up.
One can dream lol

I would like to see this done. I would be in for sure if it ran!

AnthonyG January 13th, 2016 21:57

Pretty sure the government owns it, which means it would be the hardest thing ever to get permission. All the bylaws we'd be breaking...

Bruh... Do it

Or maybe message LT, he might be interested in a major event like this since he also hosts the school games

its only impossible if you dont try. and we already break the by laws. fuck it. You get the papers and stuff for exceptions. This is a pipe dream but its probably the greatest pipe dream of them all.

Agreed

What are they planning to do with the place? It's abandoned so I assume no one wants to buy out the place right? So long as the place isn't condemned or deemed unsafe (i really don't want to fall into the lake from that long-ass walk way collapsing) this would be an awesome place to play at.

Who is currently in-charge of these arrangements? We need to appoint a spokesperson on behalf of ASC who can write up a proposal indicating how many people are willing to attend as well as the budget per person in order to achieve any kind of clout with the property owners. Just going in there without a plan is a waste of time. People are saying "CONTACT" but there needs to be a strategy if we're serious about this.

Sounds good, go for it!

You did a little bit of research, before posting?

Stryker January 15th, 2016 19:38

hahaha, Yes I did, unfortunately! As good as it may sound to have a game there...

RainyEyes January 15th, 2016 22:14

Oh well, it was a nice thought.

When i was working there years ago it had already been converted into a terrible weather themed education station / employee break room. No more mega maze :( One of my friends is still working maintenance there. They do still have a skeleton crew in case anyone escapes from the Amphitheater and wanders around.

If someone hits me with a near-professional proposal, I can make sure the right people see it.

The only proposal you could offer would be 100% profit. You could probally charge 150 to 200 for a milsim easily. And if that AO could hold 1000 players 500 a side. (not sure on that number) . You do the math, If you found someone who is in insurance lets say its 10000 or 20000 for that. Say 8000 for gate security and game control that would leave $ 142,000 profit. The right big wig would jump all over that. Nice to dream :P

A professional proposal, as in with an executive summary, and sales projections, a strategy for liability, etc. and regulatory compliance controls, etc.

And yes, bearing in mind this would be for like, a season. Two tops.

Duffman, with those kinds of contacts, I wonder if such contacts could turn Kingston Penitentiary into a part-time museum, part-time airsoft, and part time other events location. I mean, sure, it's a historical structure, but it's a prison; BB's won't damage anything in a stone and steel structure like that. I suggest this mainly because right now it's sitting idly doing absolutely nothing; if it was turned into something that could turn a profit, while maintaining its historical appeal, it could make it something truly memorable, not to mention being able to pay for its own bills to keep it in tip-top shape, like it deserves.

Of course, paintball is off limits to my idea, but we're not paintballers, right? :P
