Pretty amazing that something like this can’t even get off the ground in Kentucky.

Calling what they’re proposing municipal bonds is an insult to even Kentucky investors. It’s junk bonds, and not even good ones at that. There’s no market for them, which means that the bondholders would be screwed and they wouldn’t bite on the offering.

Religious themed amusement parks haven’t done well in the US. Those that have run in the past have closed with declining visitors, like Holy Land USA (in CT).

Heritage USA likewise is shuttered (in SC).

What does this say about Americans? Perhaps it’s that they like their religion, but it can’t hold a candle to Mickey Mouse or Six Flags. Or that religious-themed amusement parks are a misnomer since they don’t offer a reason to come back year-after-year (stuck firmly in Biblical times).

It’s not like they’re going to install water rides like The Deluge, or Escape from Sodom (a roller coaster).
