A THEME park in Sichuan, China will build a life-sized replica of the Titanic and open it in 2016.
Funded by the Seven Star Energy Investment Group, the project will comprise a museum and shipwreck simulation that will recreate the experience of being on board the sinking Titanic, according to Reuters.
The project will cost Seven Star some one billion yuan (US$165.5 million).
Construction will start early this year with the aid of a US company, and the ship will be modelled on the design of the Titanic’s sister ship, RMS Olympic, said Reuters.
