ASHWAUBENON, WI (WTAQ) – The tubing hill in the new Titletown District park has opened.
A Thursday ribbon-cutting was held for Ariens Hill.
The 46-foot high hill stretches 300 feet from start to finish, with an automated system returning tubes to the top.
Packers President Mark Murphy took the inaugural ride down the hill.
“We’re looking forward to seeing Ariens Hill become another destination here in Titletown for families, community members to come together and celebrate every winter. A lot of folks really wanted a tubing hill. They wanted something to bring people together outside in the winter. This is really fun to see all of this coming together.”
Ariens President Dan Ariens is using the hill to find a bright spot in what’s been a gloomy week for many football fans.
“We’re going to bring a lot of people into the community, especially in Titletown, for all winter long. If we can’t have, and I’m sorry Mark (Murphy), but if we can’t have a playoff (appearance), let’s go tubing.”
Ashwaubenon Village President Mary Kardoskee took one of the inaugural rides, noting her experience with the daunting hill.
“I have issues with heights, and I did do a practice run. I encourage everybody to come down the hill.”
‘Grand opening holiday pricing’ will be in effect for an undisclosed amount of time, with a single ride ticket costing $3.
No unlimited ride tickets are being offered at this time.
