Didn't know where else to put something like this so I stuck it here. Please move to appropriate forum if need be.

This is where we share concepts of what we would build, do, start if we had the money and the wherewithal. And then discuss said ideas.

I'll start.

1) A restaurant that hearkens back to a time when going out to eat was an event. It would have to be downtown in the CBD. Think along the lines of old fashioned places like the Stork Club in NYC in it's hey day. A nice affair. Well appointed ambiance. Great service. It would have a dress code - no shorts, probably no jeans, jacket preferred, collared shirt, etc. A place where you can dress nice. Have a live jazz band play music along the lines of Miles Davis and Charles MIngus. But it wouldn't be exclusive. It might have some expensive dishes if you want but it would also have a range of affordable dishes as well so that average Joes could eat there as well. And by affordable, I don't mean in the Chili's price range but maybe starting in the Charleston's price range and going up.

2) I think I've mentioned this one before in another thread. A water park like Great Wolf, but with an island, tiki theme instead of Great Wolf's mountain, woodsy theme. Have it be indoor/outdoor so that during the summer months the outdoor section would be open as well as the indoor and people could enjoy both of them. During the winter months, close down and winterize the outdoor section but keep the indoor open for business for year round fun. Give it a glass roof to let the sunshine indoors so as to make it feel like you're outside on an island instead of inside a dark, artificially lit building (some lighting would be required though). Also like Great Wolf, make it have a hotel in the facility as well.

White Water is old and dirty and since it has no competition it has no incentive to be any better than it is. This place could clean up financially by doing what WW falls short of and doing it year round. I would put this place out by Frontier City. There's open land on the east side of I-35 in that area that could potentially be used.

What do you guys think?
