LoveDoc.. I bet you could write a novel on "marketing sense" as could I.

Oh the stories I could write.
My viewpoint is that overtime, if you weed out many of the New France icons and then sort of meld into something else, most people wouldn't even notice it. Many folks (not like us here who love the park to a much greater extent) would almost forget what was even there. Then in one winter break - do a major renovation push and boom - ta da... the plan is revealed!! Most people would walk around and say about a change of New France: .... "boy this looks nice... but wasn't there something there before... I can't remember... oh well.." Sad, but true.
Case in point: Ask someone for directions and walk away. Have someone else go right up to the test subject and ask them to describe the person who they just spoke to. The majority of folks wouldn't even be able to remember even the most basic descriptions like the color of your shirt and hair.
It takes a great deal of work and strategic planning to switch a whole country into something else. (Hastings to Ireland for example) Or to build something new (Italy took four years I believe to build; don't quote me on that). But the planning, the budgeting, the organization of construction... ugh.. not easy or cheap. Although... you should hear my idea for a new ride.... AWESOME... you would love it.
I had no idea you were getting pegged by IM's! No wonder you posted what you did.

Now it all makes sense.
