This forum is a good medium for brainstorming. The concept of brainstorming is that people can say whatever they want without being lambasted for the improbability of their ideas. The idea is that minds will start moving and ideas may need to be tempered and amended later, but at least no great ideas will be squelched before they reach the light of day.

With that in mind, I'd like to propose an idea for the "old Ogden City Mall Site" -- which desperately needs a new name (I like Ron Atencio's idea of calling it the "Downtown Marketplace", in fact, I think I'll use that from now on.)

Anyway, my wife and I were driving by the current rubble started pondering what would make people really come out to the Downtown Marketplace when it's done. After a few more rational ideas, we came up with the idea of a roller coaster.

Why not put a roller coaster down there amongst the shops and businesses, etc.? That would certainly be exciting! We would get people coming to Ogden to shop from places like Layton and Riverdale -- even Bountiful. That would be quite a switcheroo. We could include a little boardwalk area where people sold cotton candy and hot dogs and stuff and give the place a little bit of a theme park feeling.
What do you think?

I'm really just proposing this in order to get some thoughts going. We really need some thoughts if this thing is going to work! And now is the time!!! Please post your thoughts here and we'll get a good brainstorming session going. No thought is too dumb.
