Titanic Belfast

 Hi there. So on Friday I went to the Titanic Experience in Belfast. Being a history nerd I found it very interesting and I highly recommend it to all.
 When we first got there we got our tickets and then went for some lunch as we had some time to kill before it was time for us to start the tour. The food was alright but I've had better. After lunch we went to the shop to buy some memorabilia, I got a pencil sharpener because I badly needed one but there was so much stuff to choose from. There were replicas of the blue, heart necklaces from the 1997 Titanic movie, mugs, book marks, badges and loads more.
 The time came for us to start the tour so we got in the queue and got out our tickets. We went up the stairs to the first floor where it had pictures and facts on the wall about people involved in the building of the Titanic, so we walked around and looked at all of that. Then, we were ready to go to the next part of the tour which was my favourite part. We had to wait in another queue, but this line lead us to lifts which brought us up to a balcony kind of level which, apparently, stood at 70 ft. Next for the exciting part, this part of the tour consisted of a 6 minute ride which lifted you up and down to show you how the Titanic was made. They had videos projected on the walls and a voice over explaining everything you were seeing. When the ride was over there was another area with facts and pictures on the wall. My second favourite part of the tour was when we were seated in a room to watch a short movie which was an exploration of the Titanic, itself. It went over the whole ship and explained everything you could see. When the movie was over we walked down the stairs where there were screens all around the room and a glass floor. As you step on the glass floor and look down there's screens underneath giving a birds eye view of the Titanic which was amazing but it felt so weird. The screens around the room were touch screens that had pictures of items found around the boat so you can see where it was found and it said what the items were. The last part of the tour was a room that had information on the sinking of the ship. It had facts on people who died and it had voice overs of people who had survived and what it was like while it was sinking. Then, when we were finished we exchanged our tickets for ones that look like the ones people in first class would have used to board the Titanic back in 1912.
 Overall, I enjoyed the Titanic Experience and it think it's something everyone should check out whether they're a history nerd or not. Thanks for reading :)
