When we used to take a family vacation, all we got to do was visit the Hill Commuorah, or the second biggest ball of twine. I'm so excited because now I have a place to wear my Salvation Army dress and "Billy Bob" teeth! I just pray they'll have a demon-filled talking snake.

It's in Kentucky. That thar is driving distance for me now.

Three disturbing things about this:

That it gets massive tax breaks.
That stupid people will go and think they are seeing something of a replica that happened.
That there are enough people who might visit it to make it economically feasible.

Stupid people? Wait a minute...you mean it didn't happen? Religion pays in so many ways besides the tax deduction.

I've found quite a few videos where secular or atheist groups go to the Creation Museum. I'll bet the same thing will happen at that f'd up park.

Didn't the Duggars go there?

We'll have to wait a couple of years for them to build this ark place. The Duggars will probably get their hord in for free. The advertising value alone is probably worth a few mil.

Pass on the Noah's Ark and go for the Cutty Sark.

Actually there is a Holy Land theme park near Orlando, LOL.

If they fill that ark up with farting elephants, buffalos, lemers, panda bears, etc, then not only will the stench be unbearable, the air will quickly become unbreathable and highly flammable due to the massive amounts of methane herbivorous animals emit. Unlike the mythical Noah, filling this thing with animals will kill both the animals and the tourists.

And they had best get the bunnies and the hamsters neutered or they will be overrun. Noah (and this theme park) will also have a food problem. First they need tons and tons and tons of hay every single day -- the quantity needed would fill the entire ark. They you need to handle all the specialty diets -- bamboo for the pandas, fresh eucalyptus leaves for the koalas, etc. Not sure how they (or the mythical Noah) plan to feed the lions, tigers, bears, parasitic wasps, blind freshwater cave fish, etc, etc.

Are they planning on having a cage full of horny bonobos getting busy all day for the little children to watch the wonders of of nearest primate relatives?
