I'll be shocked if the Ark Park survives far past his term.  I'm not sure how true reports of light attendance are, but it's an attraction with a limited target audience and a somewhat remote location.  Once the sheen of being new wears off, I think they'll have problems.  It can't be cheap to maintain something like that.

Subsidies will keep it going for a few years after. And then they can (probably) float for a few more years off federal tax breaks as they lose money.
