Florida: Biblical parks may get tax deal
TALLAHASSEE - A biblical theme park in Orlando where guests pay $30 admission to munch on 'Goliath' burgers and explore reproductions of 2000-year-old tombs and temples could get a property tax exemption written into state law.
A Senate committee easily passed a bill that would grant theme parks 'used to exhibit, illustrate, and interpret biblical manuscripts ... ' an exemption from local property taxes, like churches, even though the parks charge money.
