If you had lots of money, like plenty, almost limitless, and you had to use it to create a business, what would you do with it?

I've had a couple of crazy ideas in my time, so I thought I'd share them with you.

A Milk and Cookie Bar:

In a town, a nice building, with seating, and a counter. At the counter would be the most dedicated staff around, in lovely turquoise and bergandy uniforms, and little hats. They would serve you the most delicious cookies, all of the flavours you can imagine. A bit like 'Millies Cookies' only you can sit down. BUT..also, we do milk based drinks. You want a glass of milk? Come on in! Milkshake? With varying levels of thinkness? And amazing flavours? Come to my milk and cookie stop them. Man, this place would rule.

Adults Playground:

When we take ot kids to the park, we want to play, but not look stupid. But in my adult playground we can dive in the ball pool, swing on the ropes, and climb the walls. Better still, there are no kids there to wipe their snotty noses on your trousers. Also at my adult playground would be adult sized pogo-sticks, space hoppers, and other such things that were so much fun when we were kids. Again, this place would rule.

The Movie Maze:

A movie themed maze. Every now and then it opens up into areas based 0on specific movies. Imagine coming round the corner, and hearing the sound of banjo's. Then you see them, rednecks dancing around, the dueling banjos thing going on. Yep, you're in 'Deliverance'. Once the music stops you hear the line "You sure do got a purdy mouth" and you know it's time to move on. How about having a man dressed as the killers from the 'Scream' movies running around the maze too, scaring the visitors. Then later you find yourself in site of water, and a huge shark bursts out of the water. That would be fun. Just keep changing the movies, and people would keep coming back. Yet again, this would rule.

So, um, anyone want to lend me several million so I can get these things up and running?

No?

Okay, any ideas of your own?

Meka was asking for something a LITTLE more imaginative...



How about a treehouse village.

Sure, we see them all the time in films like Starwars (the little Ewoks had one) and Robin Hood, but what about a real one.
There could be a holiday resort in really high trees, all tree houses connected by rope-bridges or swinging on a rope.

No visible ground (it would be above a canopey or something...) and a barely visible sky, just the quiet, relaxed humid atmosphere...



... until people start paintballing in it! :-)

I'd set up a videogame version of Madam Tusades(spelling?) featuring every famous videogame character from the past 25 or so years.

You'd have to be very careful how you advertised your 'adult playground' :)

An interesting question to be sure.

Firstly i think i would make a womens lingerie shop that was exclusively for men. Instead of red faces when you go to buy some tat for your missus, you would be in amongst other men, so it wouldnt be so bad. I could see a money making opportunity here, as it would appeal to the boyfriends and sick underwear sniffer demographic.
