There may be better ways in town to spend your $30.. I equate it on about the same level as the Orlando Science Center, WonderWorks, and some of the other smaller attractions in town. More of a niche morning or afternoon stop than an all day event.
Sometimes, however, there are some high profile guest speakers- so you may want to check the specific schedule for when you are in town.
My wife and I are both Pastors and have been to Israel before. I had the opportunity to study there for a month while in seminary.
Even for us, its a half day thing, and we like it that way. We go once every few years and very much enjoy it as do the kids - now 10, 9, and 8. We usually follow it up with dinner at a Mid-East Cuisine place! Last time we were there, it was Holy Week, and we caught several of the plays live. They were all excellent!
I went before TBN took it over and found it a very interesting place if you are into Christian/Jewish history.
Some of the highlights I remember:
They had an exhibition called scriptorium that had bibles from the beginning of the printing press and some even had the blood of the martyrs on them.
A show that re-enacted the Tabernacle and how the priests would enter the Holy of Holies. I found that very fascinating.
A little play at the garden tomb of the crucifixion of Christ and his resurrection.
They also had many shows with singers and actors.
They also have a nice cafe serving middle eastern food overlooking a lake.
I think since TBN took over they have added stuff for kids like a petting zoo and a playground.
I also remember a small scale model of the Holy Land like the one in Israel.
I've only been to the real Israel once and obviously it doesn't compare to that but I would go back and spend a relaxing day there. It's not a park that you have to do commando style. You can do a leisure day there and not feel beat at the end of the day.
OK I had to look at the link because in my mind's eye I thought how cool if they had a 3D thing where "you" parted the Red Sea. A ride where all the participants could walk on water and my all time favorite the turning water into wine exhibit.
Of course that isn't the case Sorry if I offended the more religious of the TS4Ms family with my off color remarks but the made me do it.
I find it just a little disturbing that Jesus has a theme park in Orlando.

There are many wonderful places in the world, but one of my favourite places is on the back of my horse.

I find it more funny that Tim Allen used it in a sales pitch in the movie "For Richer or Poorer", with Christie Alley (sp?). It went up in smoke. Cute movie.
I have been there twice and loved it - it is a nice change from the typical theme park.
Shows are paced nicley so you are not rushed.
I would definitely go back

You are not offensive. I'm all for turning water into wine.
I think God would love your suggestions for the theme park.
He obviously is okay with the wine thing too..
