[http://www.partyusa.com/titanic.htm](http://www.partyusa.com/titanic.htm) All the fun of plunging into the icy North Atlantic! They actually had one of these in a park here in my neighborhood. It was truly bizarre to watch kids sliding down into the waves. ---

As long as it doesn’t blare Celine Dion during your water adventure, I’m okay with it. ---

Next up: the Hindenburg skydiving party! All the fun of bursting into flames in mid-air and plummeting from dizzying heights, without the inconvenience of sudden death! ---

Incredibly bad taste, even though the disaster was almost a century ago. In a few years will we have the Donner Party Snack Bar ride? The 9-11 Twin Towers o’ Doom slide? The Murrah Federal Building Blow-Up bouncy dome? Ugh. ---

How do those kids not get nightmares from their entertainment?! Or is that the point? That Titanic one is bad enough, but that doggy one is really disturbing. ---

[QUOTE=Gangster Octopus] [sarcasm]What’s the big deal? It is commemorating the movie, not the disaster. Sheesh, you people.[/sarcasm] [/QUOTE] See, THAT’S the part I think is the wrongest thing ever (okay, not ever). Somehow I find it worse that it “commemorates” a movie instead of the obvious historical event. Really? It’s like a children’s game commomorating Schindler’s List instead of the Holocaust. (That doesn’t count as Godwinizing, see, 'cause I was posting about a movie, not the historical deaths of millions of people.) :rolleyes: ---
