Construction continues on a scale model of Noah's Ark at the Ark Encounter attraction in Williamstown, Kentucky. The Ark Encounter is currently working toward raising $24.5 million to fund the project and expects to attract more than 1 million guests per year. Regular admission tickets are planned to cost $40 each.
