Biblical theme park planned in Germany
BERLIN (AFP) - If you ever fancied lunch in the Tower of Babel,
visiting an "original size" Noah's Ark or a multimedia depiction of the
final battle between Good and Evil, you may not have long to wait.
Under
plans announced by a group of Swiss evangelical Christians and reported
by the German press on Wednesday, Genesis Park, a theme park based on
the Bible, will open at a yet to be chosen site in Germany by 2012.
Other
attractions will include two roller coasters -- one giving an idea of
the Great Flood and another on the theme of heaven and hell -- a
miniature version of Biblical-era Israel and a Roman amphitheatre.
Visitors
will be served food at the City of Enoch, a Tower of Babel panorama
restaurant, an Old Testament-era desert tent, and a mock-up of
Jerusalem at the time of Jesus -- also the location for the main
shopping mall.
