Last month we wrote about Ken Ham’s abysmal Ark Encounter launch and how the economic boom he prophesied was not coming to fruition for many Kentuckians.
Without validated attendance numbers it is difficult to truly tell how well the “park” is actually doing. But if drone video footage of the parking lot before the park opens on a Sunday is any indication, then we can assume that the ark is well on its way to sinking.
In a three minute video posted on YouTube, we see the absurdly vast parking lot of the Ark Encounter with what amounts to a cleaning crew’s worth of cars.
The time stamp on the video is August 28 and from an article on Patheos, the footage was taken just before the park opened on that Sunday.
It is possible that many of the Ark Encounter’s target clientele were still sitting in pews when this drone visited the airspace over the park, but for what is surely a weekend attraction, this particular Sunday’s traffic – or lack thereof – is a harbinger for the park’s impending failure.
Given the misinformation the Ark Encounter brands as real history and science, its sinking can’t occur soon enough.
