Re: Dinosaur Adventure Land Inc.
Hovind is a lot dumber than Ham (and at least as greedy and dishonest).
That's an understatement. He was actually convicted of tax fraud among other offenses. He only recently got out of prison. You can read the details on his wikipedia page:
Kent Hovind - Wikipedia
Seems he is just back to his charlatan ways again. Ironically, his prison time just made him a martyr in the eyes of his batshit followers.

Re: Dinosaur Adventure Land Inc.
Bottom line? They have nothing!
Not only do they have nothing, they still vainly attempt to refute scientific evidence that undermine their credibility and views.
My personal favorite example of that was the Lenski Affair, which is documented in detail on Rational Wiki:
Lenski affair - RationalWiki
This was in reference to the experiment that Dr. Lenski performed regarding evolution in bacteria. Naturally, this flew in the face of Creationism so another famous Creationist nimrod, Andrew Schlafly, the creator of 'Conservapedia', tried to counter his claims. The most laughable aspect was his insistence on getting the 'raw data' to try to confirm Lenski's findings. Lenski continued to indicate that all their data was in the research paper. But Schlafly continued to persist whereby it became apparent he was actually asking for the bacteria itself. Lenski finally replied that they are happy to share the actual 'raw data', i.e. the bacteria, but that this needs to be handled properly and in a lab environment. Which obviously Schlafly didn't have.
Definitely a humorous exchange and was even mentioned in Richard Dawkin's book 'The Greatest Show on Earth'. But ultimately, once again, Creationism failed miserably and made a mockery of itself.
