Be interested to hear from those who work in these, participate or have visited. We dont have many over here, so if we work on one, we want to know the ins and outs.

You need to know your school curriculum.
You need to be able to mix and match periods but not mix and match experimental archaeology with a theme park!
Don't compromise on authenticity but make sure you can bring it alive. You also need to make sure it will pass health and safety standards or you'll never get a public license.
Most of all, it is for fun and for the customers

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!

I work in Archeon (the Netherlands) as a Roman Re-enactor, but also at the office on projects, museum administration etc.
What is it specifically you want to know?

Mostly what makes it successful and allow it to continue. Why people come and what they expect.
