Kind of slow-moving, but at least there’s a lot of float.
I was thinking the exact same thing.
Only if they can find sufficient liquidity.
Just saw an ad for this on TBS before the Sox/Yankees game. It had a father and son building a boat in the garage, and the son says “this is a lot of work!”, and the dad says “imagine building a whole ship without modern tools!” and fade to them bonding in the ark.
Never would have imagined they would spend that kind of money on ads…
I never imagined they would have enough money that it was an option.
This would mean more if they built the whole thing with ancient technology.
I just want to say that I am stunned it’s doing as well as it is. The vast majority of science museums would be thrilled with 850,000 visitors a year. Only the top 20-30 in North America get a million or more, and they’re all located in major cities that get millions of tourists, not 40 miles outside the 28th largest metropolitan area in the U.S.
And an attendance drop in the second year of operation is to be expected for any similar attraction. How they’re doing financially, or in comparison to projections, is another matter, but 850K visitors is nothing to sneeze at.
You say that, but…
Hmmm…
Interesting, there’s a steel frame of an uncompleted Ark that’s been rusting outside of Cumberland, Maryland for decades now (I used to live there)
You lived in an uncompleted ark? That’s wild!!!
;
Not much more wild than just living in Cumberland 
(God I could not WAIT to get out of there).
Did Cumberland have a mall? Did it have a Gap?
I’m curious as to how many of the current visitors are from foreign countries.
Not even a pair of Vice-Grips? Dang, this information has seriously scrambled my world view.
The commercials have been around for more than a year. I saw one “in the wild” once on MeTV. (It may have been an additional one to the four that I linked.)
So you’re saying you had the Cumberland Blues.
Apparently they hired the Amish to build it, and planned to peg the timbers, but local code wouldn’t allow it (thank you, local code). So kind of.
Have they ever taken a pair of elephants on board to show how sturdy it was?
"And have You ever looked in the bottom of that ark? Who’s going to clean up that mess down there? Not me, I’m tellin’ ya’. "
That’s probably why they took dung beetles and other scavengers aboard. :dubious:
