[PAR] [TLE] Ark Encounter [SEP] Ark Encounter is a Christian evangelical and fundamentalist theme park that opened in Grant County, Kentucky on July 7, 2016.  The centerpiece of the park is a full-scale model of Noah's Ark as described in the Genesis flood narrative of the Bible.  It is 510 ft long, 85 ft wide, and 51 ft high.  It is one of only three full-size Noah's Ark replicas and derivatives in the world, and the largest of the three. [PAR] [TLE] Noah's Ark replicas and derivatives [SEP] Numerous interpretations of Noah's Ark have been built and proposed.  Some were intended to be replicas, as close as possible to the Biblical Ark, the builders assuming such a boat did exist and is not a mythological vessel.  Others are looser derivatives inspired by the idea.  The Biblical description of the Ark is brief beyond the basic measures of length, height and width, and the exact design of any "replica" must largely be a matter of conjecture.  Some interpret the Ark as simply a chest-like structure with rectangular sides; other reconstructions (like Ark Encounter) give it a rounded bow and stern.
