Title: So I had chance to stand on Titanic's grand staircase
Post by: fishlikelong on September 14, 2009, 20:26:06
Went to the Titanic Experience in Florida and I managed to stand on the Grand Staircase. Was the best experience ever.

Yeah, I've been away from this site for ages!

It's called the Titanic Experience on International Drive in Florida.

It had the wireless room, cabin B52's living room, an actual deckchair with some other artifacts. They also had the Grand Staircase, the Verandah Cafe, a boiler, the cargo hold, a section of the promenade deck, the bridge and a huge model of the wreck of the bow.

If you ever go to Orlando deffo go! It's amazing

Haha. Wasn't expecting this many replies haha. I have more pictures of the staircase and the other areas that I will upload later.

The museum was on International Drive in Orlando Florida. If anyone has a chance to go there then go. It only costs $20 too.

I went there. You were not allowed on the staircase. In addition, the museum took a LOT of creative license, and I mean WAY too much.

I wonder if they made the Staircase from the same stuff that they made the Original from.....Though, I suppose they'd have to, in case they got picky people!

They say they did, but after claiming the cherub partially contained, I became doubtful. They use way too much creative license, especially for a museum!

Lol, I know I waswnt allowed on the Stairs but I desperately wanted to take a pic of me on it, so I jumped over the rope took a photo and came back before I got caught lol.
They did change some areas to make them smaller but it wasn't too bad.

They claimed that there were 4 actual fireplaces on the ship, they discombobulated the ship's layout, they mixed up where the doors in B-52 went, etc.

They will never know I stood on there! Unless someone who works there came on this forum and saw this post haha.

I wanted to go up to the top but I decided not to chance it haha. Falling was not an option because I had to get the photo quick before I got caught.

When I managed to stay awake one time they were showing a programme from the wreck site of Titan... :sleepy: Titani.. :sleepy:

THAT ship, they showed how many wooden artifacts had been preserved (one suspects they were mahogany)..

IF the grand staircase was pure mahogany it might well be partially intact if it survived the sinking.
