Axe looms for Star Trek attraction
The future of the Star Trek: The Experience at the Las Vegas Hilton, US, is in doubt and it could close at the end of the year, according to the trekmovie.com website.
The world's foremost Star Trek attraction, complete with themed restaurant, museum, shops and rides, opened in 1998. The current contract between CBS, the licence holder, and its current owner, Cedar Fair, ends on December 31 - though it will need to have been dismantled and moved by this date if it is to close. A spokesman for Cedar Fair reportedly told trekmovie that are currently "no plans to renew."
Despite the addition of the Borg Invasion 4D ride in 2004, attendance has been in decline for a number of years. However, it is hoped that with a new movie on the horizon, new interest may yet be sparked or, at least, a new owner can be found.
A decision is expected by the end of May.
