Creationist theme park

From the creators of the creationist museum...

Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear and Answers in Genesis, builders of the Creation Museum in Petersburg, will unveil plans for a new Northern Kentucky attraction Wednesday in Frankfort.

The theme park, to be called Ark Encounter, will be in Grant County, Ky., near the Veteran’s Cemetery.

The attraction is envisioned as a full-scale wooden ark that would include associated museums, theaters, amenities, event venues and outdoor parking.

Preliminary indications are that the attraction could draw as many as 1.6 million guests per year and would cost at least $24.5 million to complete.

Answers in Genesis is an Apologetics Ministry that focuses on the absolute truth and authority of the Bible.

The Creation Museum, opened in May 2007, was estimated to draw about 250,000 visitors per year, but surpassed one million visitors in less than three years.

Its exhibits represent the views of the ministry, including the belief that the earth is only about 7,000 years old and that dinosaurs were among the creatures on Noah’s ark.

An independent consulting firm hired by Answers in Genesis estimates the Creation Museum is directly or indirectly responsible for bringing 2,100 jobs to the area and has an economic impact of $65 million per year.

Joining Beshear at Wednesday’s announcement in the State Capitol Building will be Mike Zovath, senior vice president of Answers in Genesis and head of the Creation Museum project and Grant County Judge/Executive Darrell Link.

Beshear’s participation in the announcement suggests state incentives for the project may be included.

Ark Encounter will be a partnership between Ark Encounter LLC, a for-profit company, and Answers in Genesis, which is a non-profit organization.

"The attraction is envisioned as a full-scale wooden ark"

10 Million dollars says they don't built it to size and fill it with 2 of each animal....

no, because then maybe the reality of the situation will kick in..

*Future plausible conversation*

-Well sir, we're putting all of the animals in the arc, 2-by-2 and a-z..
-Yeah, so whats the problem?
-well sir, the A's have just ate all the D's
and the C's are having an all out battle royale
and we're almost out of space and we're only upto E

-*looks in* OH GOD! THERES POOP EVERYWHERE!... any other issues?
-Some of these animals are gay...and we don't think this boat's structurally useful..

It was a miracle and so logically there were no poop or gay animals. And Noah talked to all of those animals because god made an exception as that time it was necessary. Easy.
