Many people have claimed they are going to build a Titanic 2 but if a Titanic 2 is being built, they are trying to keep it a secret. :D

They're not going to make one. There was a lot of talk, but it has died for reasons on other threads on this subject - look around.

I have been trying to find out about this for 3-4 years...it looks like it will happen with the CADA DesignGroup so long as their Investors in South Africa don't balk!

From what I've learned so far, CADA was appointed consultants on the interiors of a [i:88f1c521ec]possible[/i:88f1c521ec] rebuild of the [i:88f1c521ec]Titanic[/i:88f1c521ec]. This was in [i:88f1c521ec]1998[/i:88f1c521ec] - six years ago. Please be aware, folks, this is not a shipbuilding corporation - this is an Interior Design firm (a good one too - they just finished the redesign of the [i:88f1c521ec]Christina[/i:88f1c521ec] for the Onassis family). But they are emphatically [i:88f1c521ec]not [/i:88f1c521ec]shipbuilders.

This looks like the South African millionaire listed in this article - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/783531.stm - please note this is four years old.

The best place I have found that actually contains [i:88f1c521ec]all[/i:88f1c521ec] these rumors is http://www.put.com/gigantic/ . It lists this one and a bunch of others.

It is the calculated belief of a good many [i:88f1c521ec]Titanic [/i:88f1c521ec] experts that the idea of a [i:88f1c521ec]Titanic II[/i:88f1c521ec] is not viable. I don't know if this is true or not, but I don't think this particular instance has much to it. Let's go back to the Bill Gates idea.

I think that right now there are going to be a lot of rumors about rebuilding of the Titanic 2. I guess the best we can do is just wait and see what will happen.

T4, there have been rumors now that I know of ever simce the ship was found. They seem to have peeked just after the movie came out, then nothing. There are a good many reasons why the idea is impractical - basically, it could not make enough money to pay for itself. When [i:880df1a302]Titanic[/i:880df1a302] was built, there were two strong reasons why she made the money then she can't now - airplanes didn't exist and there were a [i:880df1a302]lot[/i:880df1a302] of immigrants coming to America. Immigrants paid for the fancy stuff aboard these ships - the First-Class tickets didn't begin to pay for them.

Today, most of us see an ocean liner not as a way to get from there to here but as a cruise, and most of us want LOTS of extras with that. Swimming pools, night clubs, movie theaters, shop, bars, planned activities - the only one of these [i:880df1a302]Titanic[/i:880df1a302] had was the pool - tiny and [i:880df1a302]inside[/i:880df1a302] the ship. Not what the paying customers want nowadays. I think that's why the idea keeps falling down on itself.
