Come to Daddy

A group of evangelical Christians has announced plans to build a giant biblical theme park in Germany.

The Swiss organisation says its Genesis Park will feature attractions covering every aspect of Christianity, with rollercoasters based on the Great Flood and Heaven and Hell, a miniature Israel, a Tower of Babel restaurant and a ‘life-sized’ reconstruction of Noah’s Ark.

The Christians have not revealed how they came by Noah’s blueprints, or whether their Ark will really contain two each of the 1,250,000 animal species known to exist. Nor have they revealed how they are to raise the $185m cost of the project - although rumours they were trying to secure funding from German moneylenders in return for a camel-sized needle exhibit and a rewrite of Jesus’ actions in the temple were hotly denied.

Meanwhile, Germany’s hallucinogenic drug-using community is already enquiring about season tickets - although many felt they would probably take a raincheck on any Revelations-themed attraction as it would probably be a bit of a downer, even if it didn’t contain anything they hadn’t seen before.
