Holy Land Experience ending stage shows, re-evaluating use of its land – By Dewayne Bevil (Orlando Sentinel) / Jan 8 2020
Holy Land Experience, Orlando’s Bible-based attraction, will close its stage shows while re-evaluating the use of its property near the intersection of Interstate 4 and Conroy Road.
“The change will refocus the park on its original plan and function,” Mike Everett, general manager said in a news release. “The Scriptorium, which holds rare and unique biblical artifacts, and a scale model of ancient Jerusalem and the city of David, will continue to serve as the park’s main educational attractions.”
There will also be an evaluation of “the best and most efficient use of the property, assessing other economic opportunities, including redevelopment,” Everett said.
The shift from entertainment to education will kick in April 19, one week after Easter.
Holy Land Experience has been owned by California-based Trinity Broadcasting Networks since 2007.
Sale of the property is among the options that will be considered, Nate Daniels, Trinity’s marketing director, said Wednesday.
“There’s been a lot of development in the area,” he said. “We own a significant part of land around the park, not just the park itself. There’s the possibility of selling a part of it and maintaining the actual park area.”
