Terrible idea to begin with. It's kind of a haul to get there from any real population center. It's not far enough to stop someone who really wants to see it, but it's too far for someone who may do it on a whim or spontaneously on a random afternoon.
I've disliked the idea from the start, but even an objective assessment of the concept would have been cautious at best. Others have tried Ark parks and they have failed miserably. This one may be bigger and better funded, but at the end of the day it's still what it is, i.e. a glorified petting zoo with a zipline and some indoctrination tossed in for good measure. There are cooler animals at any number of zoos in the region. There are better rides at Kings Island.
I still say wait for it to tank and re-aprropriate it as Kentucky's first recreational pot dispensary-casino-distillery-***** house. Hell, have a gun range out back, too. Guarantee people would drive long distances to support the local economy if Williamstown had that kind of setup.
