The ride itself (running the old version of the film, which was TNG centric; I think there&#8217;s a newer Borg one) was only so-so.<\/p>\n<p>It was the afternoon spent sucking on something called a Warp Core Breach with my friend <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stevehockensmith.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Steve<\/a> and engaging in buzzed chit-chat with a streetmosphere Klingon who stayed in character THE WHOLE TIME that made the day special. The Warp Core Breach was one of those fishbowl-style drinks with two long straws. Steve and I must have looked like we were steeling ourselves for a visit to the 24-hour wedding chapel as we shared a cocktail in Vegas, but shit, when will I get the chance to down a Warp Core Breach again in my entire life? Never at this point.<\/p>\n<p>Actually, the article specifically states the attraction will be closing&#8211;I guess one could hold out hope that the facsimile of Quark&#8217;s and the promenade on Deep Space Nine will remain open, but that&#8217;s a long shot at best. If the business for the actual Trek dog and tribble show is down, I can only imagine there&#8217;s even less interest in strolling through a life-size reproduction of a standing set from a long-dead syndicated sci-fi series.<\/p>\n<p>Fare thee well, Star Trek: The Experience.
