Creation Museum reaches 100-thousand visitors
PETERSBURG, Ky. - Less than two months after opening, a northern Kentucky
museum dedicated to promoting creationism has drawn 100,000 visitors,
causing some growing pains, museum officials said.
The milestone visit - the honor went to a Buffalo, N.Y., family - means the
$27 million museum is on pace to easily shatter the first-year attendance
projection of 250,000 visits, officials said.
"We're pretty pleased with the response," said Mike Zovath, vice president
of museum operations.
The 60,000-square foot museum's first weeks have been highlighted by packed
parking lots, long lines to get in and - from critics - skepticism about the
museum's claims about science, faith and the origins of the earth.
Evolution is debunked at the museum, which is packed with high-tech exhibits
designed by an acclaimed theme-park artist, animatronic dinosaurs and a huge
wooden ark. In this Old Testament version of history, dinosaurs appeared on
the same day God created other land animals.
The museum also contains fossils, hung in large glass cases in a room
visitors spill into after taking a tour of Old Testament history. Museum
officials said most fossils were created by the massive flood detailed in
the book of Genesis.
The museum is petitioning to add 650 spaces to the parking lot, which
currently has about 500 spaces available. The museum would also like to add
a canopy over the entrance to protect people waiting in line from the
weather.

Well, they've both based their business models on 'escapist fantasy'...
