It is 2017. The creationist theme park "Ark Encounter" is no more. It may have not met the millions of people expect to attend, and thus bankrupt Answers in Genesis. Maybe a good debater had convinced the company's top heads that a young earth is ridiculous, and evolution is a fact. Or maybe they were looking at Albireo at the Creation Museum observatory when the aliens around there decided to pay a visit. Whatever it was, Ark Encounter was no more.
But all was not lost for Williamstown, as a secular theme park company (I'm not really going to specify, but let's say it's Disney because we're a Disney fan site) bought the former Ark park shortly after its bankruptcy. Not only do they have plans to secularize the current park, they plan to release the secularized future phases as well. They even went above and beyond, and added more areas and rides!
The new backstory for the park and the Ark was revealed in a press release for the buyout;
"Millions of light-years away from Earth, there is a planet known as Prifla. On the surface, Prifla is a near-lifeless rock constantly flooded and dried from the constant collapse and reformation of the pillars in the hydroplate layer. Inside, however, is a different story. Thanks to the inner sun-moon core, and the Pacha circle gates, The planet is filled with various Earth life, both existent and extinct, and civilizations rivaling that of Egypt and Rome.
One man who lived in such civilizations was Noah. A Jewish farmer and carpenter, he and his family got lost heading to Babylonia during the Babylonian Exile. Stumbling upon a Pacha gate, they found themselves in the Valley of Nod.
There ruled King Tubal, who commanded his subjects a boat that could survive the floods on the planet's surface. Noah presented a boat designed by him, named the Ark, meant to weather the worst of storms, but Tubal rejected it due to a lack of direction control. Another man warned him that no known wooden boat of such a large size he wanted would be able to sail the seas. That man was never heard from again. Yet another man warned that the island the valley was on would collapse upon itself within a month due to a surface flood. This time the king heeded the warning.
Tubal commanded that all should board his finest boat, push it down toward the surface, and row toward the main continent. Noah and his family decided to escape instead through a Pacha gate, taking two of each unclean creature in the valley and seven of the clean. No one else followed him, as the other side of the gate was smaller, making anyone who goes through there tiny. But they did so anyway, and the people who followed Tubal found their boat bashed apart in almost an instance on the surface.
The smaller size worked to the Ark's advantage. Thanks to it being reduced to the size of an average Greek warship, the boat rarely leaked from strain. After a year on the seas, Noah and his family were discovered by shipwrights from the village Astri, who dragged the Ark onto a wooden disk and pulled it up through another size-dislocated gate. There, Noah revealed who he was where he came from, what happened to the place, and why he left a different way. His tale was passed on throughout the land, then back to Earth, where it eventually became the story we know today.
Soon, you and your family can visit Prifla, Astri, and Noah and discover a world of science and legend! You can embark on Port Encounter this summer! Don't miss the boat!"

I would caution you though that we like to keep things civil here, so beware of stirring up controversial topics.
