Then we agree. If the place doesn't have anything compelling about it people won't go, and if they do they won't bother returning no matter what the name is - just look at poor Hong Kong Disneyland. Word of mouth for DCA isn't good because the park was half baked when it opened; not because of the theme or the name of the place.
