Bible Park USA coming to Nashville?

Will Bible Park USA come to Music City USA? A spokesperson for developers of the proposed Bible-story theme park in the Blackman community said that efforts to make the project a reality will continue in 2008, beginning with renewed public outreach.

The park is planned as a non-evangelical, non-denominational family-friendly theme park depicting Bible stories, according to the developers. The "edutainment" experience, combining education and entertainment, will offer visualizations of the history of the Bible, as well as the history and archaeology of the period.
The proposal calls for locating the $150 million to $300 million park on 200 acres west of Interstate 24 in the Blackman community. The park would hire 200 to 300 full-time employees and 500 to 1,200 seasonal workers.

(I was sad to see Opryland demolished for a shopping center. However, this does not appeal to me much. Although I am all for more entertainment venues here, this just feels wrong. A religious theme park charging us 30 to 50 bucks per person for admission serving overpriced burgers and drinks? They should build a country-music theme park and a non-profit Bible museum right next to it, imo.)
