New Paintball Field review "Gold Dragon PB" in Upstate South Carolina

[Arturus]

Nice place...

I really.... really, really... really want to try that Hill Challange Field.

I wonder why we can't have fields like that over in Southern California.

*looks under seat covers for change*

How much is a flight to S. Carolina?

Looks cool. Never seen a field like the hill challenge before and it sounds like it would be fun to play on!

[SPOOKI]

Hill Challenge indeed...

Hey Fellow AO members! As Uncle Phil said, This new field is awesome. And for those of you who want to partake of the hill??? You just give us a week. By Saturday (8-10-02) it should be all finished. Ever read about the beaches of Normandy? Welcome to the war baby. This thing is gonna BLOW YOUR MIND!!! You oughta come give it a shot...

Oh my god...
Begging sequence activates in 5 seconds.
I WILL SO BE THERE EVEN IF I GET HOARSE FROM BEGGING!

[cphilip]

well there is a local guy who can some up anytime. Atlanta is real close this is not far off 85 and just after you leave Georgia and enter SC.

Up for the day! Caleb and I are now leaving out for IAO!!!

By the way I asked my mom and told her where it was and how long it would take to get there and she said it doesnt sound too bad but she isnt promising anything :/
Hehe thanks IRB for the barrel, It kind of gave my mom a nicer eye on AO she noticed that I gave a pf plug to dansim and irbodden gave me the barrel and she said wow it seems like there are some nice people on that site (or something like that lol) oh well, I'll keep asking..
Is that player area big enough?
Hopefully by the time the AO Day is I'll have a diffrent tank and a new mask (if you guys would just offer stuff )

[cphilip]

Well maybe she will bring you up for the AO day!!!

Getting interesting for the AO day. Even Army is thinking about coming all the way over from California and bringing Sarah along too!!!! Would that be cool or what!!!!

Well these guys expect to expand things Sam but only after they start drawing a crowd. Since they are new this will take some time. But the early crowds are very impressed and bringing their buddies back. Thats the effect it has and that is good business.

But your right. And I have to think the general feeling that players will trash it up has something to do with that. But with proper police action this can be avoided. And I surely think going into it with a negative attitude that "why do it if they are going to trash it" is wrong. I think that is the attitude prevalent here that I am hearing. I do not think it has to be that way at all and your only inviting that if its trashy to begin with. So your right it's a image thing. This field has an initial image of neatness. I think that pshycologicaly will promote neatness. And if it doesn't...ask them to leave! Simple.

Oh and these guys prices are actualy quite reasonable. Field fee is $10. All day air is $10 and paint is good quality for $60 a case I think. Those are south east prices and very competitive. Its not cheap paint either. Their field paint is good quality.

I think it has to do with capital expenditure. Many fields are cheaply thrown up by people not willing or capable of backing it up. This one seems to have people running it who know how to back it up and can. For that reason they will succeed.

[shartley]

That is GREAT to hear Phil... and the more fields like these that get built and maintained, the better image the public will have of the sport as well.

*UPDATE*

To all those hill challenge lovers out there, have I got some news for you!!! After careful deliberation, the refs, owners, and players of Gold Dragon Paintball have come up with an awesome idea for the hill. Interest peaked??? Well, I can't ruin the surprise, you'll just have to come check it out for yourself. With any luck it will be finished within a couple of weeks. Sorry about the wait, but BELIEVE ME it's gonna be well worth the wait. ;-) In anycase, come out and see our other fields, I guarantee you won't be dissappointed.
