Hey JJ. Isn't Tennessee's financial picture the same as most other states. Can it afford to be giving this type of money to a theme park?

Regards,

Isn't Tennessee one of the welfare states? As such they will fund this with my money rather than their own taxpayers.

I hope I at lest get a free admission ticket as a thank you.

Wonder if they'll erect statues of The Good Reverend Jim Jones and Marshall Applewhite riding a comets tail at the entrance?

How Big?????
I'm curious. Assuming that all the animals were young and as small as possible, and given that the only material available was wood, was there any way a boat big enough to carry all the animals plus food and strong enough to cope with waves without falling apart could have been built?

I'm no expert on the states financial picture but I am (and always have been) against states, counties, or cities funding or giving tax breaks to things like this. If an organization can't make it on it's own... so be it.

Missouri is. If you go to Branson, they'll give you fifty bucks.

And if that's too lowbrow for you, I think I can get you onto the artillery range at Lost in the Woods.

I would think that would be exciting for even the most jaded.
