Bauton Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 (edited) Just saw this announcement here in the Cincinnati area. The Creation Museum located in Northern Kentucky is announcing today a new Noah's Ark themed theme park also to be located in Northern Kentucky.

KDcoasterMAN Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 It'll never happen. I am a man of faith that has no faith in this park. Though its a cool idea though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal1br3tto Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Site's up now. I...don't even know what to think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLund Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 This makes no sense. Donate $100 for a peg? $5000 for a beam?! The wood must be made out of Jesus turds or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 from the website - "The Ark Encounter will include a full-scale Ark, built according to the biblical dimensions and constructed with materials and methods as close as possible to those of Noah’s time." Now to prove all the fundamentals wrong, I'd like to see them try to fit a pair of every animal species into that space. Maybe they can use the wood from the Big Dipper to build the ark.

Bonemachine Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 As a very agnostic person from Cincinnati, I find this hilarious. I've been to the Creation Museum and it was just ... a whole level of idiocy. I hope they go through with this so I can go laugh at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hercules Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 (edited) The really scary thing is that I think they will reach their goal. Just think of all of the fanatic people that will give all of their money to see this happen. There are people that give their last dime to the 700 Club and TBN. They already have over $100,000 for this. This is nutty. Edited December 1, 2010 by Hercules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Band-Aid Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Those donation prices are insane. As a Christian, I would rather donate my money to a good Christian cause, such as a missionary or other church-operated charities, not to a theme park which may or may not be successful.

chadster Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 (edited) Well, at least they have a facebook, twitter, RSSfeed, youtube channel, .com, a FAQ section, media section,$112,500 of 24.5 million raised so far, and concept art. So it would seem as if they already have a leg up on the competition... **Edit, this is off the wall, but wonder who will insure an all wood structure?

Agreed, though I am not a Christian. Send your money where it'll actually do some good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 They think they can pull in 1.6 million guests per year. Reaching this figure will definitely require divine intervention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilsam1993 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 This park seem... LAME! I'm sorry, but the park needs rides and major attractions to get business. I would rather go to beech bend then this place. This park is about 45 miles from Kings Island, and is less about 60 or 70 miles away from Kentucky Kingdom. I just can't see this park making a lot of business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Of Spades Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 ^Doubtful. Man, a couple years ago, I was such a devout Catholic that I would've devoted allowance money to going to this place...now...not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Are these the same people that thought that the Dinosaurs only lived like 50,000 years ago!? Perhaps they can bring them on the ark too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KI Kidd Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 I certainly agree that they are kidding themselves is they think that they can get 1.6 million people a year through the gate but a park like this could certainly find the right kind of niche (and financial backing) to be moderately successful as destination for youth groups, church retreats, etc. If something like the creation museum (which, as a christian, I found to be literally laughable) can be viable, then this endeavor probably can too. I would expect that conservative/religious group attendance and donations will keep this place running for at least a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
