Star Trek: The Experience Update
On September 1st 2008 Star Trek: The Experience at the Hilton in Las Vegas closed.
It was supposed to reopen at the Neonopolis Mall in downtown Las Vegas on May 8th 2009 to coincide with the release of the new Star Trek movie – this did not happen. Now the May 8th open was meant to be the first phase in a multi-phase opening so by no means was the entire attraction meant to be functional and open to the public at this time and frankly when I first heard the news in early February I thought it might have been overly ambitious – setting up even a partly functional Las Vegas attraction in 3 months? Not without changing the laws of physics.
So the current plan is to fully open the attraction sometime in early 2010. Rumour has it the new Experience will be more in the theme of the Original Series and new movie as the previous incarnation was more focused on The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine.
