Noah's Ark is a type of amusement park walk-through attraction built between 1919 and 1936. It features a fun house in the shape of the biblical vessel found in the Genesis flood narrative . As such, most Noah's Arks featured scenes depicting animals and the biblical prophet Noah alongside traditional fun house gags.
The structure of the Ark (and the chronology of the flood) is homologous with the Jewish Temple and with Temple worship. [9] Accordingly, Noah's instructions are given to him by God (Genesis 6:14–16): the ark is to be 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high (approximately 134×22×13 m or 440×72×43 ft). [10]
Fans have until 11:59 p.m. ET Sunday, June 16 to request two tickets per person, according to Higher Ground, which is presenting the concert.
