Being Californian, I love that this is still so local for me, but seriously, they ought to have the two exhibits at least in different states, probably far apart states. And yeah, the wrong lights on the TOS set are annoying. I dunno if they did that originally in long beach when it was called the tour instead of the exhibit, but I do know they had a more accurate D Bridge. I spoke with an attendant there, and found out that they actually built that replica off of the original set blueprints. It also had ALL of the moniters working. Heck, the science scanners and range finders even ticked off distance, radiation readings, and all that stuff! Only things wrong with it were that the Helm and Conn consoles didn’t hinge out, and they used the wrong combinations of fabrics and leathers on the chairs. Other than that, it literally was standing on the bridge. I must say, a Galaxy Class Helm chair is the most comfortable seat ever! Which almost stinks, because I like Constitution better, but the fact that I made the ship go to warp makes up for it. lol Seriously though, I hope this moves around long enough for everybody to get to see both exhibits. The Tour exhibit I saw wasn’t quite the same thing as these, but it was definently the end all Trek experience outside of Vegas as I understand it.

I wish it would stay on the west coast but git outta california-neither oregon or washington state has seen any of the exhibitions either-we have been to vegas for the experience which i am sure has been the best trek presentation so far–is there any news at all about reopening the experience? No news is bad news-wouldnt surprise me if that project was dead now-ive seen way too many parts of the experience being auctioned off on ebay including parts of the d model and the timeline presentation from the museum too-sigh sniff pout-

Something I’m sure they’ll mention when they have the San Jose Exhibition article is that the movie is also playing at the Tech’s IMAX Dome Theater so you can go to the Exhibition and see the movie again in one of the few places left still showing it on the big screen. Plus it’s cheap, only $8. I’m going this Friday when it opens and this will be my 9th time seeing it and 3rd on Imax.

Seeing that they added costumes from the new film, this will be worth it to see again, it still will not beat what I saw at the Queen Mary/Spruce Goose dome. But that was a different company managing the exhibit.

This thing was supposed to come to Minneapolis on its second or third stop! What gives?

Ha ha, agreed. They didn’t even make the center section low enough, and those command chairs are awful. For that admission price, you’d think they’d get someone who actually KNOWS what the Ent-D bridge is supposed to look like.

And without all the colored lights, the TOS bridge looks a bit off too. How could they get everything else so right, and forget something as simple as that??

Oh and the Enterprise D photo is “lit” pretty good so on the picture it looks convincing even though in person it has the cheesy niteclub lighting.
