Me and a friend are finishing our degrees and we have been thinking about what kind of small town business would make alot of money but also bring alot of excitement to our town.. We live in a 50,000 population town and the only thing kids have to do here is either a Small small water park or the movies.. We have been thinking about opening one of these businesses.

Indoor Laser Tag ( i think this would be the best cause kids of all ages could come and play, and we could have like a kitchen to.
Indoor Paintball Gun ( we are big paintball fans, but i don't think parets would let kids come and play.. not sure tho)
Drive Up Theater ( we 1 move screen that has been down since the 70's, i think this would take alot of money to fix up, but might be worth it?)

Those are some of the best choices we have been deciding.. If anyone has any other idea.. lets us know please! Thanks!

Don't have enough information to give you a specific business idea.

Here's what I DO know:
.
1) Forget about the drive up theater. Theaters in good standing are losing business due to the internet, video rentals, cable and cineplexes.
.
2) Forget about the Laser Tag. There is not enough repeat business to sustain a predictable income stream.
.
3) Paintball? You will get repeat business. Question is, how many? Don't forget the liabilities associated with projectiles intentionally flying into your customers @ 200 mph. Sure, they'll sign waivers but all it takes is for one kid to lose an eye. You will get sued anyway. And the killer word of mouth? Kiss your business buh-bye.
