Ark you glad to see me?

I think it will be a monument to the least believable story in the whole bible. Hopefully some will learn from it, but I'm guessing few will. If they had a fucking ounce of critical thinking they'd realize it was bullshit before they paid the admission price. Like Jacob said, they'll just invoke "Goddidit."
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
If the idea actually floats it should flood the market.
I don't think the one in Kentucky will float. IIRC they're just making a huge building to look like an ark, along with a theme park around it.

How funny would it be if a LGBT group snuck in and painted a huge rainbow on it and added a mural of animals performing homosexual acts?
I'll answer it: fucking hilarious...literally. Them goombahs are all about taking things literally, too.  RE: Ark you glad to see me?

Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method. 
What I am trying to say is that if they build the ark replica, and some people have to resort to magic/miracles in order to make it work, some of them will realize that it doesn't make any more sense that way. If it is all just magically supported, then why a boat at all? Why not just do the same thing for the animals that he did for the plants and aquatic organisms? Why that size of a boat if it was just a test for Noah? Why not one 20x larger? Or smaller if God were just going to shrink (or whatever) the animals onto it?

Personally I think it's funny to watch Christians waste money on these kinds of projects. Like I said, they are monuments to stupidity and they're showing the world the crazy things they believe. Like how the Creation Museum showing humans and dinosaurs living together when we know there are millions of years separating them.

Like how the Creation Museum showing humans and dinosaurs living together when we know there are millions of years separating them. Precisely. On the one hand, it infuriates me that they manipulate the hard work of scientists to tell a BS lie of a fable, but some people clearly see it for what it is (my wife and sister-in-law were drug there by their YEC dad, and it didn't convince them of anything other than it was fucking crazy). And that makes it useful, as long as it remains affiliated with religion. The ark would be even better for this though. Because it will require stretches of the imagination and distortions of reality and questions about god, that will be far more relevant and easier to comprehend to people. Not everyone knows how a fossil forms or the amounts of time we are talking about and how to envision that much time. But the ark deals with water, a boat, and animals. People will clearly get that on a more basal level.
