Obviously the correct decision here. The 'bible park people' were giving out insane numbers of expected income...there's just no way possible it would have lived up to what it was billed to do, not to mention the use of government funds for what would be a strictly Christian-based park.

That just set the Rapture Ready clock back about 11 minutes.

Oh come on!

Tower of Babel Free Fall
The Red Sea Crossing Water Ride
Noah's Ark Petting Zoo and Water Park
Jonah In The Whale Submarine Adventure
The Walls of Jericho Trumpet Parade
Delilah's Hair Salon
Armageddon Roller Coaster

You guys just aren't thinking!

There's already one. In Orlando, of course. But without the rides:

Don't know if all you folks are from Knoxville, but I am a Rutherford County resident. The mayor is ram rodding this down our throats. There has been no investigation as to the financial backgrounds of the developers, attendance and other figures being put out by the developer are in no way right, and other suspicious things regarding the developers personal and business backgrounds. Notorized petitions were filed yesterday with signatures of adjacent property owners that are opposed. This would have forced a 2/3 vote of the commission. The names were verified by the County Attorney and the Planning Department. However, as it stands right now, our mayor, has nit picked the names of property owners to death and has said 2 of the petitions were not properly signed. The people have 2 back-up petitions which they are delivering today, but we believe they will not be accepted as being not in a timely fashion. Now do you see what we are up against here in Rutherford County?
