Ken Ham's Creation museum is FAILING!!!!!

[SteelCurtain]

I think they're pushing chose to a million tickets at $30-45 apiece. I think they are good for $700k.

I think they're inflating their sales figures to try and convince people they aren't failing miserably while they frantically figure out a way not to have completely fucked up this already-doomed shit show. That they aren't fully disclosing actual attendance numbers is not a good sign on their part. How many of those tickets are from atheists going to see it ironically and make fun of it? Plus all the expenses of food, maintenance, employees, utilities, and all that, on a park that appears empty a great deal of the time, have to be eating up what they have earned pretty quickly. Good thing it's so poorly designed, there's probably very little maintenance needed, and they can just turn off the lights in the empty displays. Ham's already personally blaming atheists for 'problems' so they've tacitly admitted things could be 'better'. Just what is the extent of this trouble? Surely a man who ranted and raved enough to get people to donate so he could upgrade a plane ticket on short notice could spin a few niggling little woes the park is having in a way that would get people to show up more or just mail in cash. I mean, it's not like they're still in a position to 'show no weakness' so why not play on the sympathies of the deluded masses who actually think they're being persecuted?

Well the $700k number comes from .50 cents per ticket sale. So that puts them at 1.4 million tickets. Their projection was 2.2 million. That's 36% short of their projections.

And ironic atheists were probably not a significant portion of their ticket sales, but they still paid money.
