Pardon me while I go puke in Odo's bucket.

I hope someday they have something just as cool as that place. I have to say it was one of my favorite places ever.  I wonder what they are going to do with all that stuff?  I know the props and stuff will go back to CBS... but??  I took the behind the scenes tour and there is a lot of stuff there.  The machinery was so amazing, and most of it was run on Windows 95.  :)

In the six or seven times that I have gone I never took the behind the scenes tour.. I need to get back there one more time to do that.

Kenny- it was a little spendy, but WELL worth the money.  I love behind the scenes stuff anyway, and it was like seeing the extras on the DVD live.  :)

I need to do this as well. Last time I went we got in free because my brother was friends with one of the big wigs running the attraction (he and his wife are in the theme park business). It was a long time ago, before the borg experience.

Aw man these are bad news. . .I haven't been there yet.  :(

The first time I went to The Experience was two hours before I married my wife.  It was great day!

Just found this:

Vegas Trek Attraction Closing

CBS and Cedar Fair announced that the Star Trek: The Experience themed attraction in the Las Vegas Hilton will close on Sept. 1, confirming news first reported on TrekMovie.com.

The decade-old attraction--which includes two Trek-themed motion simulator rides, Quark's bar and restaurant and a shopping arcade--has seen attendance and revenues fall for years, TrekMovie reported.

CBS held out the possibility that The Experience might find new life in some other form, telling TrekMovie, "We're extremely proud of the 10-year run Star Trek: The Experience had in Las Vegas. We're currently exploring several options to continue The Experience for the public to enjoy for years to come."

Robert Picardo, who plays his Star Trek: Voyager character of the Doctor in the "Borg Invasion 4D" portion of the attraction, expressed sadness at the news. "I'm very disappointed about it," Picardo told reporters in a conference call. "It seems the hotel changed hands, and the group that bought it, the new owners, have been eyeing that large amount of retail space lustfully for some time, so it breaks my heart a little bit to no longer be my own theme park ride."

I just booked a trip to Vegas during the final weekend of The Experience.  I'll call the voicemail line and report in on all the happenings.  I'll probably be shedding a tear in my Romulan Ale.

My pal Angela and I are trying to work out a girl's trip there for the convention next month. David has given me the 'all clear'. Angela just has to clear it with Jim. She anticipates a "sure, go ahead"... but you never know. Especially since she's recently had a lot of car trouble and will be taking her car to the shop. Despite this set back, we're being cautiously optimistic.
