The park is only in its planning stages and won't see the light of day unless planners can generate enough buzz to raise the some €220 million needed to build it. Battle re-enactments would be a major staple of the park's offerings, but so far it's unclear whether there are plans for Napoleon-themed rides, shows or other common amusement park attractions, nor whether the creators will be targeting a primarily French audience or try to draw international tourists en masse. The Telegraph claims that former French minister Yves Jégo came up with the idea in part to compete with Disneyland Paris, which attracts millions of visitors per year. The Paris region also boasts an Asterix theme park based on the beloved comic strip Gaul character, but it's primarily frequented by French tourists. What do you think? Is Napoleonland a new draw card for the region, or a money pit?
