'Theme Park Titanic'

[Poguemahone]

Plans to build a full-scale Titanic replica with an iceberg simulation in a Chinese theme park are in bad taste, a Northern Ireland politician has said.

The attraction in Sichuan province, about 930 miles from the sea, will let ***dreds of people at a time experience the shipwreck.

The Titanic was built in East Belfast, Ireland.

The vessel, the largest luxury ship in its time, struck an iceberg on its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York. It went down on 15 April 1912, leaving more than 1,500 people dead.

Su Shaojun, chief executive of the Seven Star Energy Investment Group that funded the project, said "the universal love and sense of responsibility shown during the Titanic shipwreck represent the spiritual richness of human civilisation".

"When the ship hits the iceberg, it will shake, it will tumble," he said.

"We will let people experience water coming in by using sound and light effects ... They will think, 'The water will drown me, I must escape with my life'."

Did you complain about the big bad Rangers fans singing The Famine Song?

Genuine question.

When I saw the thread title I naturally assumed this was about the Rangers.

Ye wee rascal Pouge

The chorus of that wee song is quite funny so no I didn't complain...strange question!

Everybody who was on it died years ago so I really don't see the problem.

The famine killed people a couple of ***dred years ago. I don't see why anyone would be offended by a song about it now. The Tims need to 'chill out' a bit.

See?

I think that's a weird idea for a theme park.

They should do one where you can get in Sirus' octopus tank & see how long you can last with the various tidal waves & giant octopus arms flailing about as if independent from his heid

[gersforme]

pogue uses the term "planters" to mask his sectarianism

[Poguemahone]

Ach Gers stop being a wee drama queen its just a wee derogatory term for some of the people in Ireland...Unlike you I've not got a sectarian bone in ma body!!!!
