Kentucky's $100M "Ark Encounter" is Failing
- Thread starter Biggersmaller
- Start date
Humans are fighting dinosaurs because EVOLUTION ISN'T REAL AND WE EXISTED AT THE SAME TIME AS DINOSAURS YOU FUCKING HEATHEN
I'm a Kentucky resident and I go to about 9 different houses a day for work. So I talk to a lot of different people and have never heard the first of this. I'm glad because I would hate to pretend to be interested in it.
We went to the Creationist Museum in KY back in August, and it was expensive to get in ($40 or so), they wanted an ADDITIONAL $40 to go to the ark which was 45 minutes away. We did not go.
The musuem is fucking bonkers, though. they went ALL-IN with the dinosaurs plot line, too.

is this the one who relies on the lord? then let the lord save him! if the lord loves him so much, let the lord rescue him!
it's weird because i've seen billboards for it more in Ohio and I think Tennessee than I have when I go back home (Ashland, KY).
When it was first built, I remember everyone collectively wondering, "why here". I don't know anyone that's actually been, but I guess I'm not hanging with those groups that would be interested.
Can't have those animals having *whispers* sex. There were only two of each animal and they were abstinence just like god intended!
this is the past that conservatives want
Well, there's a scantily clad woman at the lower left in sort of a doggie position, and the person behind her appears to be reaching for her crotch.
A Mountain of Ararat of colon blockage thanks to our pizza and wings.
I live in Ashland and so I work over in Ironton too.
Yeah there is definitely nothing here about it. Thank goodness.
also notice the subservient pose of said woman
truly conservative wish fulfilment
Here is another great pic from the article:
Lmao that shirt is hilarious
I live in SW Ohio and have always wanted to go to this and the creationist museum ( https://creationmuseum.org/ ) but can't justify giving these people any money
Weird, I live in NJ and I saw commercials for this thing all the time last year.
Here's a bunch of photos from our trip to the museum (but not the ark)
The place is absolutely insane.. The production values are frighteningly good, too, but yeah.. it's definitely an experience.

a dioramatic metaphor of toxic patriarchy? who knew Ham was so woke
this is logically incoherent
they should have called up an apologist to write these, atleast they have an understanding of logic structure

That should tell you everything you need to know about who goes and sees this.Here is another great pic from the article:
Nothing says "America" to me like an old white guy, sitting in a 100 Million $ Noah's ark theme park with a "taxing income is stealing" shirt.
They hit why this isn't that successful immediately when they point out admission is $60. I can go to an actual amusement park with coasters I can ride as much as I want all day for that price. There's just not enough religious fundamentalists with that much cash to ever make this work, even with how heavily subsidized it was.
The only shame here is that Ken Ham is going to emerge largely unscathed through the subsidies he suckered out of the people, versus going down with the ship when this fails.

the park is the same distance from Ashland as King's Island-- probably costs about the same to get in.
even if you are deeply religious, which is a better familial experience here? watching your kid pet some fake animals or riding some sick-ass rides.
You'd think at the least they'd have an aquarium or some bible trivia games. Anything entertaining, really, for $61. You can't even learn anything interesting about the animals without using too much evolutionary biology terminology.
My uber driver this past weekend in Nashville said he actually made the hour+ drive from Kentucky every day just to find work.

Especially with the fact of the Ark being paid by tax dollars.
They aren't people just like to spout bullshit. It's bad enough on its own though.
You all laugh, but the guy who built it has OBVIOUSLY seen the movie Evan Almighty and is preparing.

Looks like a fucked up Frank Frazetta painting lol
don't you DARE mention the m word while we're talking about the singular, best, truest number one savior of humanity Jesus Desu Christ.
This place has only been opened for two years? I though it was around for longer than that.
ROFL. So fucking cheap.
