Discussing the Ark Park with my mother (advertising exec) and her friend (banker), what they pointed out was that the park was a niche destination where people wouldn’t peel off to do other things…precisely because of the religious component…and furthermore, the park has its own amenities (specifically, food) that compete with local businesses. Theme parks are designed to capture consumers; they’re enclosed so that they pull as much money as possible, and it’s not in their interests to let cash slip to outside businesses.

I’m really on the fence about how much pity I feel, though.
