Why just have ONE (type) attraction to bring people in?
More people in town for MORE reasons, year round = more people
spending more money.
Disaster Tourism.
Ever go to universal and go on the earthquake ride (think they
changed the name)
There's a hundred angles you can go with this. Start simple. Some
memorial and few notes about the mystery of the Morro and the
scandals that followed it.
Put it this way. If the Titanic sunk off the coast of AP, there
probably would of been no movie of it or no memorial.

In the mid-1980s, HBO television aired a dramatization of the fire
in their Catastrophe series, called "The Last Voyage of the Morro
Castle." In 2002, the A&E television network made a documentary
about the incident. .....

Despite the fascinating tragedy and mystery of the Morro Castle
Disaster, no film for theatrical distribution nor even a television
movie was made of the story. However there have been references to
it. In the 1938 film Boy Meets Girl, James Cagney (in dictating a
letter to Pat O'Brien regarding what a third person is supposed to be
saying to his missing wife) says, "I did not go down on the "Morro
Castle"!" And at the conclusion of the 1935 Spencer Tracy film
Dante's Inferno a gambling cruise ship (resembling the Morro Castle)
is completely ablaze. The 1944 movie Minstral Man also features the
fire and sinking of the Morro Castle.
