Bible Theme Parks In Nashville - A Second Coming!

If the Jesus theme park in Florida, The Holy Lands, wasn't enough, now Nashville may be host to two of the bible-themed attractions. Bible Land USA, is the latest religious family experience.

The proposed park will include an IMAX theater with a flyover of ancient Jerusalem, the Exodus Experience, a water based attraction (of course), and of course Noah's Ark. The last attraction is really an old standard for amusement parks of the 1920's. The last surviving Noah's Ark fun house still operates at Kennywood Park in Pennsylvania.

Trinity Broadcasting has also announced plans to build a Bible themed park in the city that once hosted Opryland. Trinity already purchased the Florida "Holy Lands" attraction.

It is my hope that this park will not include the daily "crucifixion" that is enacted in the Florida park. There, families can share in the torture and death of Jesus every afternoon. Sounds like a great family experience, for the Addams Family at least.
