"...The plan is to build the unlikely amusement park on the site of
the brilliant but doomed French leader’s final victory against the
Austrians in the Battle of Montereau in 1814 just south of
Paris. ...Other curious potential attractions include a ski run
through a battlefield "surrounded by the frozen bodies of soldiers and
horses" and a recreation of Louis XVI being guillotined during the
revolution – the precursor to Napoleon’s rise to power."
