Relatives of Titanic victims criticise theme park ride with ‘shake and tumble’ simulator that recreates disaster
Titanic theme park in China offers a simulator which allows visitors to feel like they are on a sinking ship. A Titanic theme park with a “shake and tumble” simulator recreating the liner sinking was condemned as deplorable by victims’ relatives yesterday.
Douglas Piper, 80, whose grandad John Barnes was a fireman on board the famous ship , said: “This is exploitation. No one should make money or jokes out of a disaster.”
Rudi Newman, of the British Titanic Society, said: “This is in incredibly poor taste and frankly deplorable. Whatever next, the Pompeii experience?”
The park in Sichuan, China, is due to open in 2016 and light and sound effects will make visitors fear they are drowning. Su Shaojun, head of the group behind the project, said the aim was to “spread the spirit of the Titanic”.
More than 1,500 people died when the liner hit an iceberg in 1912.
