Years ago (1990?) we looked at the link system....besides the capital
cost (high) the financial models I worked on showed 2 problems, besides
the very high capital costs:  first, thru-put would create a real
bottle-neck for a small simulator (12 seat), since most centers have
peak attendance times....the other was the high capture rate required to
make any money (to offset operational costs).

Doesn't the great lakes museum in cleveland have one? Or had one?
