Pay $608 to experience the sinking of the resurrected Titanic in China

Work has begun on resurrecting the Titanic - the world's first full-size replica of the Titanic is being recreated in China, one of the countries that fell in love with the 1997 blockbuster movie about the doomed ocean liner.
Once completed, visitors can experience, firsthand, a simulated collision with an iceberg and subsequent sinking - the charge would be $608 per person.
This has been reported in nzherald.co.nz dated 6 December 2016.

Visitors to the city of Daying in south-west China will get a chance to climb aboard the NZ$203 million, 300-metre luxury cruise ship in a reservoir on the Qijiang River to experience the simulated collision with an iceberg and subsequent sinking.
Other attractions under construction would include a dining hall, theatre, first-class cabins, economy cabins and swimming pool - this has been informed by Wuchang Shipbuilding Industry Company executives while interacting with the Chinese media.
The date for opening the new ship has not been disclosed but tickets for a one-night, economy-class berth start at about $608. The 3-D re-release of the film is believed to have grossed a record-breaking $94m in six days in China.
