Signature Coaster: Intamin Power Launched Mega Coaster
I want at least one power launched coaster as a signature coaster. One thing to watch is with Rita, Stealth and Space Mountain already established a lot of options have already been used. Luckily Intamin, one of the best companies for launched coasters has also done a lot of good out and back steel coasters such as Goliath at Walibi, Holland and Expedition G-Force at Holiday Park. That would make an out and back steel coaster, ideally a mega coaster over 200 foot tall, with a launched start would be a great choice.

Major Ride: Major Interactive Dark Ride
This part of the park is probably the part that's the most blatant copy of an area from another park. Europa Park has a Greek area with a big water coaster with an Interactive Dark Ride under it. Given Macks did an excellent job of designing and theming Europa Park they would be my first choice for a company to theme and design this park.
For this ride I'd want a large scale interactive dark ride, with good theming and targets linked to models to make them move. I'd also want to include some hidden targets (hidden behind doors and in boxes) and have two colours of target, with one being a lot rarer, but scoring bonus points.

Major Water Ride: Mack Splash Boat
This would have a similar layout to Poseidon at Europa Park, as it ranks as one of my all time favourite family coasters and water rides. The fact it's a water coaster is useful as it ensures there are two good coasters in this area to go with the major dark ride.

Major Support Ride: Huss Delirium
This is another ride I haven't tried, but looks like a very good thrill ride with a large capacity. I also think it's a good fit for the area as it incorporates fountains in the design, so would go well with the large lake for the Mack water coaster.

Major Support Ride: Intamin Spinning Star
In terms of ride hierarchy this is a support ride, but it's located in such a way that it's the main ride for one section of this area. I think this is probably a good thing, as there are a lot of crowd drawing rides around the lake, so something is needed to spread out the crowds a little.

Support Rides:
I've included two support rides around the lake to support the major attractions there. One is a Zierer Inverted Flying Carpet. A good family thrill ride, plus the use of the fountains on this ride would compliment the theming of the Delirium. The other is a Zamperla Mega Disco.

Walk Through Attraction: Garden of the Gods
The Whole area above the lake would be this area, that includes the Spinning Star, kids coaster and family rides. I'd also have some statues and murals based around Ancient Greek myths and legends.

Kids Attractions:
The kids rides in this area consist of a Zierer small Tivoli coaster, a Carousel, an Intamin drunken barrels, an Intamin children's parachute tower, a Zamperla barnstormer and a Zamperla aeromax. These rides mainly concentrate on the older end of the kids market. I think this should compliment the nearby kids area in the Pirate area, which should be aimed more at younger kids.
