By then, everyone is ready to go back inside. usually everyone is very sweaty.

Marsupial, why not buy everyone those small individual trampolines? that way people can do it at their own leisure without requiring a lot of total floor space?
This is my recollection of tramps as well. My family had one. We'd also take a skateboard deck and try and bust out tricks on the tramp. After going unused for awhile and getting tired of taking it down every winter we sold it.

They're good fun, but that fun usually lasted just a few minutes. Sleeping on the trampoline during the summer was fun.
