Australian millionaire funding Titanic 2

[StormShaun]

Well ... least I know what ship not to catch.
hopefully they fixed the whole "iceberg" thing.

I would really hate it if James Cameron directed another Titanic movie.

Other then that ... I really, REALLY, wish them luck.

Meh, at least it will look pretty cool. Seems like a colossal waste of money, but if I had that sort of disposable income I'd probably build one too. And then set it up as a sweet themed hotel.

 

[prowll]

Wow, some people really do have more money than brains...

 

[Froggy Slayer]

...why would you do that?

 

[R.Nevermore]

I think the opening voyage will be difficult to fully sell out. I can't imagine allot of people would want to tempt fate. Even if I had the money I wouldn't go. I'm not superstitious or anything, and chances are very good it'll be fine... But still... Unsettling.

Will Kickstarter be crowdfunding a replica iceberg?

We might be able to get a tax break on it, depending on where we build it too.
It's an "environmentally friendly" sea mine! Green tech!

 

[TilMorrow]

Oh this sounds interesting. A possible colossus waste of money but interesting all the same. Just hope we don't end up with a re-enactm-... wait a minute here...

"A full-size working replica of the Titanic is to be built in China following an historic agreement between an Australian entrepreneur and a Chinese shipyard who are poised to sign a deal.

*blinks and looks closer*

-_-

...built in china...

:C This is going to end well. I can already imagine a "Made in China" tag somewhere...

Captcha: Lo and Behold

Will it have enough life boats this time?

 

[BeeGeenie]

I want to see the "Titanic 2" movie where Leo rises from his watery grave to exact vengeance upon the living: "What the #&%!, woman, there was plenty of room on that door!"

Titanic 2: Electric Boogaloo


But seriously, I would ride on this, just for the shits and giggles.

 

[scorptatious]

I hope no one tries to draw me like one of their french girls while I'm on there.

Are you crazy? Of course not! What kind of working replica would it be without also including the wonton disregard for safety inherent to the time period?

 

[Flutterknight]

The first thing that popped into my head when I saw this: "Australian millionaire funds new man-made reef, location undecided." =P

 

[Avaholic03]

Well...at least thanks to global warming there are now fewer large icebergs in the north Atlantic.

How silly of me. In that case, I want to be the guy who hits the propeller when the ship sinks.

Spoiler: This is my calling.

 

[Zack Alklazaris]

Well at the very least she'll be required to have enough lifeboats so... the ship will be slightly safer.

Also it would help to fix that watertight compartment defect where the compartments were not exactly watertight, but if we are going for authenticity just throw all that out along with caution to the wind.

Will you look at that, it's the same exact story of the movie Titanic 2

Does anyone else get the impression that this guys just an eccentric millionaire who wants to build and populate a replica Titanic so he can purposely ram it into an iceberg and live out some sort of Titanic fantasy?
