Also “It would require paving over woods for parking spaces and construction of housing for hundreds, maybe thousands of workers - potentially transforming this oasis into a sprawl of souvenir shops, fast-food restaurants and malls.”

I think I can see their grievance.

Kind of reminds me of the old observation tower at Gettysburg. On one hand it was a blight on the landscape and overwhelmed the skyline. OTOH, it truly did give a fantastic bird's eye view of the terrain and provided an opportunity to see how the battle unfolded as it did.

If I had the capital to start it up, I'd do tethered hot air balloon tours of the battlefield and recreate the experience in a period-appropriate balloon experience with knowledgeable tour guides...
