I have been thinking the same thing. Have a pulse generator fooling the cruise control into thinking you are going at a steady speed. There could also be a switch that would control the inputs, one setting would feed the steady pulse, the other would feed the speed sensor output. This way it would work as either a cruise control, or a throttle lock.
One thing that I would be concerned about the steady pulse feed, would be if you hit the cruise button to bumb up the speed. It would try to go faster, but since the pulse would never increase, it might keep adding throttle until the pedal was floored.
