Ideas should catch the true meaning of Mormonism, and remember money is no object for this project. Let me go first.

First they need even more great and spacious buildings, and much more artwork. To start, they should have a hall celebrating all the important women of the Relief Society. This will be a simple grand hall lined with the statues of these women's priesthood bearing husbands, with a plaque bearing that man's name, and noting that he had a notable wife.

Second, the seagull statue is just not big enough. They need a giant seagull that could carry away a small car, carved in black stone, wings spread. It should look like something that belongs on the Reichstag.

There needs to be a giant monument celebrating Utah's neutrality during the civil war.

There should be a ceremonial guard, in front of the church office building, of young men dressed in those stripling warrior customs, and carrying those big sticks, all the time. The Mormon church should petition, and the Utah School board should relent to the demand, that young boys be given time off from school in order to fulfill their guard post duties. There should not just be one or two of these, but fifty to sixty at any one time.

That artificial creek running through the mall, should be extended so that it runs past the church office building. The water should be dyed to that it appears like a small river of blood.

Any other ideas.

Bulldoze the entire square and donate the property to
the State of Utah...

Along with funds to build a free clinic, battered women's
shelter, soup kitchen, and job re-training center.

Sounds reasonable to me.

UD

Have a display of "Famous Peepstones from Around the World"

Have a display of chewed gum, licked cupcakes, and boards with nail holes in them.

Have a booth that sells Pascal's Wager lottery tickets for 10% of whatever is in your wallet. That includes 10% of your credit card limit, Bucko!!

Forbiddencokedrinker, I would go there to see that Reich-type seagull statue, and the stripling warriors!

Temple square could be more like the Polynesian Cultural Center, which was so heavily promoted at the Days of 47 parade today, along with its advertising blitz on KSL.

The Mormons need an excuse to bulldoze away ugly visitors centers, and the Joseph Smith and golden plates displays, with the old church history, and replace it with the new improved Mormon history. Some of that could be moved to the Hotel Utah/JS building--use the same statues, but have JS looking into his hat. Have a "take-your-pick" automated lazy suzan display of the different versions of the "first vision." The Christus statue from Temple square could be returned to storage in the basement of the Tabernacle, where it spent the first 30 years of its existance.

Back to Temple Square. It could be a Mormon Culture Center, featuring the Nephites and Lamanites, in their native habitats, with their steel weapons, cureloms, tapirs, etc. A life-size replica of an ancient submarine would be an interesting attraction, with life-size animals, and details on how they were fed and "mucked." They could make a ride out of it, by having the entire submarine flip upside down!

There could be a "Martin Handcart Camp", sort of like the tourist attraction at Pompeii, depicting all the horror. There could be a "Mountain Meadows" outdoor display, which could be transformed to "Winter Quarters" in the winter.

Visitors would not be allowed to roam around freely, and there would be a shakedown at the gates. A hefty entrance fee, plus mandatory name, address, phone number, would be demanded of anyone who enters therin-- plus personal information on at least one "contact" for the missionaries. These names would be verified by a computer at the gate, utilizing the software the Mormons bought from the CIA.

No food allowed. The snack bars at the Martin Handcart Camp and Winter Quarters would sell fresh water, beef jerky, green jello, Diet Coke, at exorbitant prices.

Or, perhaps an EXIT FEE -- the longer you stay, the lower
it gets. Sign up for missionary visits, and they'll let
you back out into the real world for a mere $10, plus
your cellphone number and e-mail address.

Sounds like a winner to me.

they could create a amusement park based on the CK where men can go with their one earthly wife and live for a day or two. the man gets to "perform" with as many park provided CK wives as he can while his earthly wife does crossword puzzles and knits.

Done in the round with an angel wielding a flaming sword in the shape of a penis in the center.

Every Thursday should be throw your daughter to the mob day...

Even if they don't have enough money they could have it sponsored by Anheuser Busch just like Sea World. There could be "Joseph Smith Beer Gardens" to accent the other gardens.

Then to make it more appealing to children they could paint the temple to look like Cinderella's Castle in Disneyland. They gotta add the lights to it too. Then they could make a roller coaster go in and around the temple. You would be able to take your endowments out that way if you choose.

There could be gun battle re-inactments of JS death scene, the seagull thing, and other big Mormon events.

Of course bride and groom Micky Mouse and Minnie would be available for pictures.

This is a fun game!
