I'd design a whole park! Being a history buff, it'd be along the lines of Disney's American Adventrue failed effort in Virgina.
The 1600's themed area main attaction would be a simulator of the Mayflower's maiden voyage to the New World. Of course, you would have to pay homage to America's original inhabitants as well.
The 1700's would have to go above and beyond MK's Liberty Square. Perhaps a recreation of Ft. Ticonderoga from New York State and an updated "1776" with live characters signing the declaration
The 1800's would be tough with the "Late Unpleastentness" and all. Probably would have a ride paying tribute to the old Mike Fink Keel boats cruising a great river during the American Expansion, or better yet, an exploration by
John Wesley Powell of the Grand Caynon.
For the 1900's, an area themed to the roaring '20's then a dark ride themed to the 50's and a lot of Nostalgia from the "Happy Days". Somewhere, I'd have to have a tribute to the "Greatest Generation" and their accomplishment.
Last of all for the 2000's....how about a roller coaster ride to mimic the stock market?
