Do as the Romans did

As though Rome didn't have enough real things to see, here come plans for a Disney-style theme park, with the theme being -- Rome. This supposedly family-friendly park would have rides and attractions that are all about experiencing ancient Rome. Considering the subject, I can't help wondering exactly what those family rides and attractions would be?
"Family Gladiator Fights"?
"Lunch with the Lions"?
"Leader Assassination Pavilion"?
Other thoughts?

I don't know about attractions, but I definitely think the food court should offer a vomitorium in addition to Caesar salads. And a Messalina's Orgy ride could definitely give the place an anti-Disney feel, which would appeal to French tourists.
