Cousins Coram, NY ******* less expensive
Review:
I was at High Velocity once with a private group. This place is too expensive. I paid around $140 total that day. As you enter they check your pods for paint contraband. $100 for a box of 2000 rds is too much. Fields are filled with attractive bunkers/decorations but small in sizes for people who really enjoy woodsball. IMO this place is OK for someone who likes speedball with woodsball spice in it and willing to pay big bucks for it. I have more fun going to Cousins which is literally around the corner (cheaper and fields are bigger). Safety level is low compared to Cousins. Parking lot is kind of small I guess they don’t expect big number of people because of their prices.
Conclusion: IMO prices at High Velocity are too high to go there for a weekly fun.

I wish I could argue with you but I have to agree. HiVi is very expensive. Not the kind of place most could afford to play at weekly.
As for the fields though I DO disagree with you. Though they are smaller they are FAR better and more creative then Cousin's. But the thing to remember is that they are two different kind of paintball fields. Cousins is straight Woodsball while HiVi is primarily all Scenario fields.
Dispute: Yo What Are You Talking About. First Of all Hi Vi Has Triple the safety compared to cuzins, Unlike cuzins hivi actually has nets around all their fields....instead of magical caution tape that blocks balls. Also We have between 3 and about 10 refs on the field at all times....cuzins has like 1 or 2. Second of all HI VI Gets Way more people on a normal weekend then cuzins does. Also Are Outdoor prices are high, but we still get like 20 regulars that come in at least once a week... soo obviously The fields good enough to make up for the prices. (this winter hi vi will have 90$ a case and free admission). Im not saying cuzins sucks...but dont say stuff about high velocity unless you know its true...(plus you only played their once)
