A farm in the UK has been ripped as “distasteful” by parents after rolling out a children’s ride modeled after the Titanic. The unsettling attraction is located at the Graveley Fruit Farm in Hitchin, which opened in 1981 and features berry picking, a playground and other family-friendly pursuits. For just under $3 a pop, children can hop aboard a replica of the ill-fated oceanliner, where tickets are handed out as boarding passes on the cruise, and the ship’s name is clearly visible on the side. The attraction is even referred to as a “wreck.” Much like its real-life counterpart, the faux Titanic then lifts into the air and sends the riders hurtling down one of four slides, before depositing them onto a crash mat like a historical luge-scape.
