An immersive attraction in Sandy highlights the Titanic's doomed history from construction to its tragic sinking, featuring reconstructed sets, artifacts and stories of the people aboard.
Driving the news: I got a sneak peek of the experience a day ahead of its public debut —and you're sure to learn something new about the ocean liner, whether you're a history buff or just a fan of the James Cameron film.
The intrigue: An exhibit highlights the ship's ties to the Beehive State, featuring the story of a Utah woman who boarded the vessel to travel home to her family in Payson after studying overseas.
- A group of Latter-day Saints missionaries avoided disaster after one arrived late, causing them all to miss the boat, according to another featured story.
The exhibition is set to remain through the holidays, with the chance of an extension.
