What's a 33° slope, percentage wise?

I'm guessing it's 36.67%

Approximately.

What sort of height for the summit are you planning?

It doesn't matter. Even if there is some old country lane that is 50%. This is about something huge that can accomodate thousands of customers a day. Look at ski resorts, you ski down then get pulled back up. A simple concept but very profitable.

One difference with a ski slope is it would not be safe to have people cycling back down after reaching the summit. An elevator which goes down the core of the mound linking to an exit tunnel would be needed.

29,029 feet.

To accomodate a reasonable length at 40% it's going to need to be around 400ft.

29,029 feet.

Probably be easier to bring Everest over...

You know how expensive stuff is, don't you? Good, 'coz £20 to £30 per tonne delivered, multiplied by the tens of thousands of tons you'd need, and the hundreds of hours of digger-time (at £220/ day if you're lucky), plus of course the cost of the land, the agents fees for the Planning Permission, and so on, could make a mess of your profit pretty quickly if you hadn't taken it all into account. Which you have, of course.

A: I think you have given this far too much thought
B: You have not read many posts from Messer Blazed.

Ski slopes make fark all profit.

However, a dry slope near me closed last year so I've just phoned them up and bought it so i can ride up and down without fear of having to interact with the hoi polloi.

No no no, you charge people for taking their stuff to turn into your very own VAMberg... https://rouleur.cc/editorial/vamberg-rubbish-climb/
