so, now that the $1 billion "wizarding world of harry potter" ride is a go, i think it would be much more appropriately placed in that northern kentucky town now home to the world's first creation museum. they could then rename the town fantasy, ky.
here's a word about patrick marsh, the museum artist:
"The museum features hi-tech exhibits designed by former theme-park artist Patrick Marsh, including animatronic dinosaurs and a wooden ark at least two stories tall, plus a special effects theatre and planetarium.
Some exhibits show dinosaurs aboard Noah's ark and assert that all animals were vegetarians until Adam committed the first sin in the garden of Eden.
When Mr. Marsh was asked to explain the existence of fossilised remains of man's ancestors, he replied: 'There are no such things.
'Humans are basically as you see them today. Those skeletons they've found, what's the word? They could have been deformed, diseased or something.
'I've seen people like that running round the streets of New York.'"
more museum highlights:
"Elsewhere, the 176-seat special effects theater will simulate wind and rain for a 'visual thrill ride' through Bible history; Noah's Cafe will offer a Before the Fall salad with 'ice-age' iceberg lettuce; and animatronics Bible characters will hammer on a reproduction of Noah's ark."
"The Answers in Genesis group believes the story of the ark to be literally true. After the ark ran aground in Central Asia, the museum explains, the surviving animals repopulated the other continents by floating across the oceans on the 'billions of trees' uprooted by the great deluge."
"Critics say the $27m (£14m) centre, whose motto is 'Prepare to believe!', will be the first museum in the world whose exhibits are almost entirely fake."
