DisneyQuest-type of towering arcade center, with tons of different kinds of arcade games—Arctic Thunder, House of the Dead, Time Crisis, Mario Kart linkable racers, etc.
Clothing store called ‘Critiques’, where you show up wearing your ‘normal everyday’ attire, and on-hand consultants critique it and try to find something that fits your physique and personality perfectly — to help find ‘your style’.
Gymnastic-styled city rooftops, above foam pits, where we stage a zombie apocalypse. (If we build it, they will come.) They get a tutorial and walk-around as if we just rescued them off the streets; show them the armory and medic ward and radio room and etcetera, then circle back to the bunk rooms (where we started) and that's when we unleash the horde! And you have to traverse the rooftops via gymnastic feats (swinging between bars, or ropes, or walking a balance beam, with these features thematically tied-in to the environment) in order to truly outrun the zombies, who either fall off the side (into the foam pit) or stay trapped on that one rooftop.
Prison or jail with massive bulletproof glass windows, so that the public can watch the convicts like it’s a human zoo—as much a shame tactic as it is a deterrent for mistreatment by guards. (Were this to be actually made, the majority of inmates would be undeserving of such ridicule, so you’d have to fill this particular prison with assuredly-guilty lowlifes, like serial abusers and murderers.)
The Goo-Goo, stand-up and improv comedy theatre that I have no other information about. I just want it to be called “The Goo-Goo”.
Hotel with indoor waterpark and a burger-specialized restaurant.
Invest in the Al Ringling Theater in Baraboo; maintain the film projection and the stage; hype its projector as a retro quirk and reshape the brand around that; then annex a few adjacent buildings to convert into individual screen theaters, to supplement the main theater. Duplicate the movie house in select locales in the USA as a chain of Ringling Theaters, eventually developing a “Ringling Theater Complex” (a ‘mall’ of moviegoing) with a central food court (third-party restaurants) with the spokes sprouting off of this hub being wings of screening theaters, and you can pay for a ‘Day-Long’ entry, meaning not just a single ticket stub (although this remains an option) but a wristband allowing you to see any film while there, up until the establishment closes for the day, which means movie buffs can hang-out here all day to watch new releases and old classics—all for one lump sum.
Bar that is an exact recreation of Rick's Café Américain, from Casablanca—size, aesthetics, features, attire, alcohol, gambling, live music, and the owner perpetually wears a white suit and refuses to drink with customers (an ode to Humphrey Bogart).
Circus with an open bar.
Eatertainment venue with private rooms for groups of guests, like private Tokyo karaoke rooms, except instead of karaoke the offering is Virtual Reality: the patrons take turns at various games, while others watch and comment and drink and eat, paying for services with swipe cards a la Dave & Busters; and using these cards can save your game data, so you can continue from where you left off next time you visit.
