Noah's Ark, Kentucky

[Teebin]

I just saw a piece on this mess on the news. Some of the creatures on board are dinosaurs. Literally dinosaurs. Give me a friggin break!

It's the Ken Ham pet project. The creationist scientist made famous by the Bill Nye debate a few years ago...They got Patrick Marsh, designer of the 'Jaws' and 'King Kong' attractions on board to design attractions for the company in a goal to make Christian theme parks across the world.

Oh, this is the same guy that has a christian museum somewhere that also features dinosaurs. Freedom of religion snaps science over its knees like kindling.

Scopes Monkey Trial people still exist in many areas of this country.

This thing looks pretty impressive. I wouldn't make any special trips to see it or anything but if I were in the area I might want to check it out.

This nonsense isn't worthy of a thread on these fine forums.

It's a themed attraction. I think it's interesting to watch things like this that are outside the box of what we usually see as theme park attractions. There are many applications I could see of something similar to this, especially with Universal expanding so much.

It's an attraction based around a replica of a full scale large ship. There hasn't been much done like that. The closest thing that comes to mind to me is the Star Trek attraction that was planned and never built in Las Vegas.

I used to attend university in southern Ohio, between Dayton and Cincinnati (yes I spelled that right the first time) was 'touchdown Jesus', a large statue in front of a church with his hands in the air. Unfortunately the statue was struck by lighting and burned to the ground (IRONY) and replaced with a lamer statue.

tl;dr souther Ohio and northern Kentucky are weird

The closer you get to West Virginia the weirder it gets.

And once you leave those Ohio flat lands and get to land where the taller are the mountains and the deeper the valleys.
