Thrasher Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 A billion dollars is a lot of money. Id probably buy a house and some nice cars, start my own production company, donate a bit to some charities, and put the rest in a foreign bank to avoid pesky taxes. One thing ive promised myself if I ever get a lot of money is to buy a tank and build a course for it so I can blow stuff up. Then when im done, donate the tank to charity!

Kroger8 Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 I would make sure my whole family was financially secure, well at least the ones I like, and donate some money to cancer research, buy a house with a waterslide coming out of my bedroom like on Blank Check, and just buy stuff I thought looked cool and have a blast, and oh yea, buy a BBJ and fly all over the world!

smells_like_team_disney Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Wow, this is what I would do if I had a billion dollars: -pay off my college debt -buy parents their dream house -pay for bro's and brat!'s college tuition -built a house in Big Bear, one in Chicago, and one (or more) in Mexico -find a knee specialist so I can run again -finally donate to all the charities I've been wanting to (too many to list ) -go to WDW so I can say that I've been to both coasts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BelizeIt Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Well a Billion Dollars is a bit out of reach for most people....Unless you founded Google! But, If you live in California or one of the other states that have the Mega Millions Lotto, you have a chance this Tuesday at 310 Million!!! All you have todo is buy One Ticket for your chance at Financial Freedom! Good Luck!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoshiFan Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Buy a huge house and put in an indoor waterpark and a giant arcade with every DDR machine, and 100+ other arcade games. Then I would call B&M and have an invert and floorless installed in my backyard. I would also take a few hundered million and put it towards diabeates research to try to find a cure.

tngdiablo Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 ^ Ding ding ding ding! I'd build a giant house with a giant garage. In that garage would be: Enzo Ferrari (I'd have to buy it off of some willing bloke) Mercedes McLaren SLR Aston Martin DB9 (Vanquish sucks) Ford GT Koenigsegg CCR Ferrari F430 Ferrari F40 Ferrari Testarossa (See a trend here?) Ariel Atom 2 (Civic Si in a bare-naked chassis, :drool:) Morgan Aero 8 Bugatti Veyron Nissan Skyline GTR-33 (Right hand drive) Mini Cooper S (For the twisties) Subaru Impreza WRX STi (For the twisties as well) Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution (The one with all the crazy letters and numbers at the end) And then after all the newer cars are bought, time to build up the muscle car collection. 1967 Shelby Mustang GT500 (A la Eleanor from Gone in 60) 1968 Dodge Charger (Hemi) 1969 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 1971 Plymouth Barracuda (Hemi, Manual = One of the rarest cars ever) That's pretty much all the msucle cars I'm DYING to get, but I could gather up some more. Shoot, with all that muscle, I'd probably have to get my own gas station. Don't even get me started on the house itself... Let's just say your ears will be ringing for days after you leave...

USRoadTripper Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 I'd buy an old Navy submarine and plop it down on a very large plot of land. I'd have the interior remodeled to be a house with all kinds of everything I could possibly imagine in it. Then I'd paint it yellow, and build up fake coral looking structures around it so it looks like a sunken submarine on the bottom of the ocean. Then I'd move in! What...that's not the craziest answer in this thread so far! -Julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaneymon Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 I would buy all the properties on my block and then turn the place into a huge mansion with A coaster and water slide and a state of the art fitness center And buy Julie a truck load of Pickles and a Love slave And buy Mike (Mr.Six)and Eric (Stitch) a Love slave each.

jarmor Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 First I would... -continue working, but not for wachovia -finish school -invest basically all of my money -organize non-profit help centers for kids who dont have a great family life at home -dont need a car right now have a good one already -build the house I want to have (its a pretty neat looking house, nothing spectacular) focus more on what I want to do in life because I wouldnt have to worry about money -not buy useless things -still live like I was still making 30 thou a year -not go around like im some billionaire because I am not trying to be robbed or taking hostage -design and build a theme park and water park (where my money will still work for me) and WILL NOT SELL OUT like the others Im a simple kinda guy so not much will change Jarvis "money doesnt change people, it just magnifies who the person really is 8) " Morant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Oh yea, howd I forget to mention that I would contract my own rides to be built using NoLimits as the guide and having a nice plot of land to set them on? Silly me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarmor Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 why use nolimits when you have a billion dollars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Because I can accuratly portray exactly what I want the ride to be like and they can do all the calculations. Why get a cookie cutter when you can personalize it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterguy618 Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Buy my dad a BMW, my mom a LEXUS SUV, a bigger house....not that we need one.....an Apple laptop, an Intamin Woodie in my backyard, a Saleen for when i'm 16, get my sis her own car, and a villa in Italy.

I also dont wish to learn it. I can make basic things in CAD but they use programs far more complex that crunch hundreds of thousands of calculations. And besides. TGG and GCI already use NL to show their customers what the ride should look like so if they feel its accurate enough to use in the end, then they can take what I had and extract data from it. Plus why spend some of that money on classes to learn CAD?!! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pagemaster_b Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 One thing ive promised myself if I ever get a lot of money is to buy a tank and build a course for it so I can blow stuff up. You should sign up for the Army, they've got plenty of tank course to wreak havoc on. I use to drive an Armored Personnel Carrier. No mounted gun, but it was still fun to drive. I earned the nickname "Airborne" from my unit's commander because I jumped that 12-14 ton beast straight up into the air. I had about a four or five foot clearance between the ground and treads. Not an easy thing to do. Anyways, if I have a billion dollars, the first thing I do is dump it in a Swiss Bank Account and just live off the interest. Quiting my job is a given, but why hurry? You know how much fun work becomes when you don't care about getting fired? (Watch "Office Space") An extended vacation would also be a good thing, especailly when morons who "know" me start begging for money. Not that I wouldn't mind seeing some people begging. I'd be discreet about who I would help, mainly those who have had difficult times. Of course, my own amusement park would be nice, taylored to my style and likes, but diverse enough that others would enjoy it as well. Great coasters, great food, and great times! (And hopefully at a cheap price so even the lower income people can enjoy it as well.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DATman Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I'd build an Intamin Rocket w/o OSTRs in and around my house!!!!! I'd also build a park, but it would'nt be that big, because it's SO FREAKIN EXPENSIVE (DCA was like 5 billion, right?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 If it was, thats ridiculous. Cedar Fair bought SFWoA for about 145million in cash. Yes, in cash. Look it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
