Holy Land park in Orlando attracts mixed impressions

Funny to note that driving down I-4, every single lightbulb in/around the place is...lily white. Oh, and this place seem to be expanding FAST under the new ownership...

"...others believe it's respectful to Christianity."

More importantly, is it respectful to The Beast? ;)

I think we should yank Invy across the pond and dump him off at Holy Land.

In some regards, meeting up with Invy @ BPPB is a trip to the Holy Land.... ;)

Also of note: It is ~15 mins. drive time from HLE to Universal, 20 to Sea World...and only about 10-15 more to reach the Mouse House (here I am preaching to the proverbial choir about how great Orlando is)....sacrilege! :)

When is Gay day? ;-)

^ boo you meet me to it haha.

I thought it was an Onion article originally when I saw the "twice-daily simulated crucifixions" line.

There really is nothing too insane for religious people I guess.

Anyone want to be my hand-holding, no strings attached boyfriend for a day during a visit to Holy Land? That seriously sounds like amazing fun.

Seems like the folks at Hard Rock/ Freestyle could have learned a few things from them. LK, they'll probably allow you and your NSABF at Holy Land the same time they allow tent revivals and group baptisms during Gay Pride parades.

I'll assume the duty...

Looks like Jerry will be your friend. ;)

Also known as Invy's AwesomeLand ;) Of course it's the company I keep at the park that makes it so special :)

Here is video link to Youtube of the crucifixion.

Pretty graphic. If you haven't seen the Bill Mayhers movie I highly recommend checking it out.

So I'm the only person that thought “Celebrate Jesus — Karaoke” is the scariest attraction ever? Of course, I think “<Insert anything here> — Karaoke”would be scary anyway.

This is the second time in a week or two I've seen this type of posting for a religious-based project. While I understand the urge to "stick-it" to those you percieve as your enemy. What do you think would happen? My guess is nothing. My guess is you would be treated like any other guest. My guess is you would not be the first to have done so much at this park.

On an aside, as someone raised as a conservative Muslim you cannot imagine what we are taught about homsexuality. The intolerance was a big part of me leaving (mostly) Islam. I wonder, if some of you that seem so gleeful to agitate Christians would be so bold as to do the same at Six Flag's Muslim day...for example? Or maybe try the same in front of your local Mosque...?

I just don't understand the mentality of agitating for agitations sake. I would say the same if Christian's/Muslim's showed up to a gay event with the intent purpose to agitate.

Because it's fun... I don't ask that you understand it... Nor seek approval...

If I wanted to make a "Serious political statement" we'd schedule a protest or a rally, or god forbid - write a letter.

Or start a petition! ;)

With flamboyant pink plexi-glass clipboards and pens with fuzzy heads on them.

I just don't understand the mentality of agitating for agitations sake.

I just fell out in the floor laughing so hard.

I wonder how he'd fair in a high stakes bingo game if I kept screaming a false bingo every other ball... Nervous breakdown?
