Would love to see it, but we are slaves to our dog. Figures.
Too many unchurched families today for that kind of business on a large scale, unless they somehow diversify. Many parents of today also grew up in an unchurched home. Plus the public schools usually do their best to smother, minimize or destroy any positive activity that can remotely be called Christian Based. This is unfortunate, but in American, the trend has been going in this direction for quite a long time.
They’ve been building another Ark in Frostburg, MD, just off I68 for the longest time.
If an Ark was built here in MA or in CA, they'd admit 58 humans. Or, to be more exact, 2 humans and 56 freaks.
My wife and would like to visit this attraction, but we sure aren’t going out of our way to visit....
I think there are a lot of folks like ourselves..
I have to wonder who did the financial projections on this project....must have been pie in the sky....
Put it near one of the main theme parks such as in Orlando it would do much better...
They need a rain-maker.
The Estes Ark has a better model - one of every type of stuffed animal, attracts tourists from all over, could be used to proselytize in addition to that.
Dont forget to visit the Atheist display and attraction (empty field down the road)
This could be fake news...the ark website has addressed some of these “slower than expected” newspieces...of course you never know who is tellin the real story unless you go for yourself and look for new construction
....hotel booking rates..or count the visitors at the site.or other signs of increases tourist traffic...some in the town are bitter cause they thought the state gave money to the project...where the project received tax credits that other businesses get if increased tax revenues will come thru that particular enterprise...a common practice i believe...
Heading there today.
My neighbors visited the Ark after going to the Ky. Derby.
They really enjoyed it.
I think it has more to do with charging $7 for a hot dog.
It started as a trickle, then a downpour, then a flood!
But, aside from that, I'm a well known in MA as "that weird guy who likes mayo on his hot dogs" -- plus chili, onions, and cheddar cheese...

Alas, gout and diabetes have since forced me to forego my "two daily dogs"... :-(
Let’s be honest. The words vacation and Charleston W.Va. don’t exactly go together. Should have thought the business plan through.
