Bible Theme Park?
[From Christian Post]
A major New York real estate and land developer has proposed plans to build a Bible-based theme park in Tennessee which would depict stories from the ancient text.
Officials from Rutherford County, the fastest growing county in the state, met with SafeHarbor Holding to speak about possible plans for âBible Park USAâ this past Friday.
The amusement park would be much like a âstory parkâ and would include traditional rides that are found in amusement parks.
Read about it here.
There is also one planned in the UK called Ark Alive.
[From me]
What are some rides that you think should be in the Theme Park?

It would be awesome to do something with the parting of the Red Sea! Like the little cars go through once the water parts or something… and they should definitely sell manna at the concessions stands.
Clearly children need to experience what it was like for Jonah to be swallowed by a fish. Maybe the name of the ride could be Jonah’s Big Disobedience Adventure?
Someone showed me a brochure for a Bible-themed park in Florida. It is more of the dramatic type/museum inspired places where you can see in a compact space the temple, the tomb, the tabernacle, and several other biblical scenes.
Why is it I can think of more stories that I wouldn’t want in the park?
-if they have the telescopes for a quarter view…would we see bathsheba in the tub?
-do you really want to be with your church group in an area to experience life “before the fall”?
-Fear Factor is not a show I ever want to be on so I’d skip the plague section please.
Now I guess they could do a cool water ride for Moses being in the Basket. I pretty queen can get you out.
Would the games area have you try to cut off a head like you were Peter? Would you get the prize for just getting the ear like he did?
The question theologians will want to ask:
How long would the Ascenion ride last till it came back down?
OH…would the foot washing include a pedicure and massage chat?
grrr…massage chair
Man,
I knew I could count on all of you for creativity.
They could have the “Loaves and Fishes Cafe”
The burning of Jepthah’s daughter should be a real crowd-pleaser.
Some how the ride name “Escape from Sodom” came to mind. The sulfur smell might be a bit strong for some ride goers though.
