Question

What do you know of the financial impact of a Bible based theme park in your community?

Answer 1

No idea but I did see it on the Simpsons once.

Answer 2

If you're referring to the Holy Land, I think it's fairly ridiculous, if you ask me. It would NOT be welcomed where I live and I wouldn't go. Besides, wouldn't god be annoyed if people were making money off him??

Answer 3

They reenact the Passion of Christ,It's called  the Holy Land.

I have never been there but, it's a humongous place.Seems

rather strange.

Answer 4

We don't have one so it has no impact at this time in my community.  However this is a tourist oriented economy with a lot of emphasis on Oktoberfest type things so a more family oriented park might be a good thing for the local economy here.  Probably a lot smaller than  the huge thing in Orlando.   Essentially in our area tourist dollars direct and indirect make up more than 1/2 the local economy anthing that increases those dollars and especially anything not dependent on water (lake or river) would be a plus financially and anything that helped a year round flow of tourist money especially in off season would definately help..

Whether commercialization of the Bible or Bible themes is advisable or appropriate is a completely different question.   So is whether or not God would bless people who try to make money from His word.   The Bible has some notable examples of His not being in favor of that so the apparent positive economic benefits could be over ridden by that probably depending a lot on how some things were handles and portrayed.
