"You getting your numbers from the LDS PR department? Cincinnati has a population of 300K. Nowhere near 1 million, much less 2.1 million."
Do you understand the concept of "metro population"?
"The Cincinnati metropolitan area, informally known as Greater Cincinnati, is a metropolitan area that includes counties in the U.S. states of Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana around the Ohio city of Cincinnati. The United States Census Bureau's formal name for the area is the Cincinnati Metropolitan Statistical Area. As of the 2010 U.S. Census, this MSA had a population of 2,114,580, the largest metropolitan area involving Ohio and 27th largest in the United States."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cincinnati_metropolitan_areaAnd that's just the Cincinnati metro area. As I wrote earlier, the attraction will probably bring in busloads of church groups from hundreds of miles around.
"The Ark Park will be in foreclosure in less than 3 years. And rightly so."
Maybe so, but I think you're severely underestimating the number of Evangelical Christians in the USA, and particularly within a half-day or a day's drive of the attraction, who will visit it.
