Noah’s Ark Amusement Park Sues Its Theme Park Insurance Company For Rain Damage

Following the damage of a replica of Noah’s ark and other related attractions, a theme park insurance company is being sued. Ark Encounter is located in Northern Kentucky. It filed a lawsuit regarding coverage for damages to the property following substantial rain.

Ark Encounter filed a lawsuit against its theme park insurance company. It claims to want to recover what it states were $1 million in repairs, in addition to legal costs and fees, and an undisclosed amount of punitive damages.

The media across the country has picked up the story due to the nature of the lawsuit. The irony of an ark replica being damaged by rains has made the story an easy target.

The damage occurred back in 2017, when northern Kentucky experienced substantial rains from consecutive storms (though not nearly 40 days and 40 nights, of course). The National Weather Service data from the time indicated that the year brought the region 40 to 50 inches of rain. Interestingly, that was only slightly above the average for Williamstown, town in which the park is located.
