Eric,

I once lobbied Experience Music Project for a rooftop mini-golf / music
park when I worked there, but no go. Of course that was in the pre-Gehry
architecture days.  Look forward to seeing yours.

It is low throughput, we have to institute timed tickets, reserved time
slots, etc.  But there is a classic way to reduce demand...all you
economists here?...

Raise prices.

That is not our first choice, but it is a possibility...

One of the interesting things about mini golf is that it is a well
understood and practiced business on the for profit side, so there is
lots of precedent and information on management, pricing, operations,
costs, etc
