The park is slowly going broke and has been plagued by high-profile lawsuits regarding a ghost family. One involves a teenage male who regrettably falls in love with 16-year-old girl ghost only to discover to his horror that she is supernatural and not human. His heart broken, he launches into a severe depression. Then the lawyers take hold of it. I wonder if a woman found herself pregnant with the Son of God at Bible Park USA if she would try to sue the theme park for unlawful impregnation rather than rejoicing that she was the new Virgin Mary.

So, I hope that they don't put all their chickens in that basket! Well, our little Jesus theme park area in our town is just losing money.
