Too good to pass up:

The Telegraph reports of a Napoleon-themed amusement park, touted to rival Disneyland, being planned on the site of Napoleon’s final victory just south of Paris (opening in 2017). Reported attractions may include a participatory reenactment of the 1815 Battle of Waterloo, where the Duke of Wellington ended Napoleon’s rule; a ski run through a battlefield “surrounding by the frozen bodies of soldiers and horses”; and a recreation of Louis XVI being guillotined during the revolution. “It’s going to be fun for the family,” the developer Yves Jégo stated. I’ll certainly buys some advance tickets for my family to take part in that last attraction. It’s never too early to indoctrinate your children of the evils of monarchic rule.
