With an installed base of millions?
Pokemon may no longer be in the forefront of the public eye but it still pulls in more minds than Asterix, or dare I say it, Disney does on a regular basis to support a theme park.
Since it would only run for the summer, whether it be in Europe or America, they'd still be servicing the same amount of people, the vast majority of them kids who watch the anime coming with their parents for a cheap alternative to Disneyland, as most non-brand based parks would daily without much bother at all.

I could hazard the possibility that with both America and Europe the park could travel to two or three locations over it's summer tenure. It'd make logical audience sense, especially considering the size of America and the vast majority of countries covered in Europe.
Either that or we could possibly see the Park in, say, New York next year; Germany the next; Los Angeles after that then Spain the year after.
And parents never needed to be 'too hot' on Pokemon to make the 1st Movie a blockbuster at the cinemas or make any item with 'Pokémon' on it a guaranteed success in the period from 1998-2000.
Like I said, the fact that the kids would love it and it would arguably be cheaper than a day out at Disneyland etc doesn't really require parents to be massive Pokemon fans themselves. And even at that, any parent with a Pokemon fan child would still find themselves pointing across the sea of people at a Pokemon they recognise and find themselves acting all smug. I could see my own mother spotting a Jigglypuff cut-out from afar and making an expressed point of noticing it. Lol.
