TITANIC UNDERTAKINGS

A murky new Titanic exhibition is coming to San Antonio’s Shops at Rivercenter, promising a virtual reality peek inside the doomed luxury liner. According to state records, construction on a 17,671 square foot exhibit space at 849 E Commerce St. #623 will begin in late May and quickly wrap up on June 19.

The project was revealed by public project details filed at the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation under tenant name Mad Hatter Experience LLC. A rep for booking platform and experiential entertainment production company Fever Labs confirmed they were involved with the installation, but kept mum on further information, saying the company is still finalizing some details.

The rapid buildout, however, suggests that the experience may open as soon as this summer. Still, there should be plenty of time to source the appropriate bustle.

Fever Labs is involved in at least four virtual reality experiences chronicling history’s most famous shipwreck: "Titanic: An Immersive Voyage," "Titanic: A Voyage Through Time," "Titanic: The Exhibition", and "The Legend of the Titanic." All similarly offer simulated walkthroughs inside the luxurious quarters alongside more tangible installations.

While some of the immersive experiences appear to mainly focus on virtual reality, "Titanic: The Exhibition" takes a more museum-worthy approach with relics from the shipwreck, objects from sibling ships in the fleet, and props and costumes from James Cameron’s 1997 Oscar-winning epic.

Those who already have strains of Celine Dion's “My Heart Will Go On” stuck in their head can hightail it to Dallas, where "Titanic: The Exhibition" will be running until September 1.

The interactive show coming to the River Walk is not Fever Labs’ first foray into San Antonio. In June, the company is selling tickets to its Dining in the Dark dinner series — a blindfolded tasting event at Southtown’s Pharm Table on July 17 and 22.

CultureMap will update this article as more information on the exact dates of the San Antonio Titanic residency. The various exhibitions have a wide range of ticket prices, but are typically well under $50.
