Hello again.<br>
<br>
Just a few more thoughts for you.<br>
<br>
I would suggest a lighting tour of Europe and the parks which have been built already such as Archeon, Archeo Parc de Malagne, Puy du Foy etc ... I think that I have completely mispelt the last one.<br>
<br>
Go armed with a digital camera, camcorder and recording gear and capture everything, you might see things you like or would do differently.<br>
<br>
I would also suggest offering people grades of authenticity in their accomodation otherwise you will limit your clientelle, basically a park like this has to consider 'bums on seats' no matter how much it offends our historic sensibilities (IMHO) or it will struggle generating revenue nd eventually go under, unless you have some mysterious (read Bruce Wayne) type of benefactor.<br>
<br>
I don't think that these compromises need effect all areas of the park, but some people would love to walk through a few Roman streets and take in the sites and the sounds, but they will probably want to take pictures, wear a tunic (toga) and live like Disneyland kings when they are back in their accomodation.<br>
<br>
Justa few thoughts, hope it helps. <p>Graham Ashford
