See the Titanic in true 3-D in Tunica

Information provided by Hollywood Casino Tunica

The RMS Titanic, the world largest ship, sank April 15, 1912, after colliding with an iceberg in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean. The accident claimed the lives of over 1,500 passengers. April 2012 marks the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the famed Titanic.  The 1997 Titanic movie, which won 11 Academy Awards and starred Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, has been rereleased in 3-D in time for this centennial.

But, if you really want to see the Titanic in true 3-D, then get to Hollywood Casino Tunica, just south of Memphis, to view their extensive, major memorabilia collection of props from the 1997 James Cameron Titanic movie.
