Yes I’ve been there, very relatable, but my experience was getting “beamed up” at Star Trek The Experience at the LVH in Las Vegas back in 2006. I’ll never forget the feeling of suddenly being on the bridge.
Just left the same comment. It was surreal for the few moments you were on the bridge.
The other thing I remember vividly is the poor guy who ran up to one of the actors who was in full Klingon costume. The guy belted out some phrase in Klingon you know he had been rehearsing for weeks and stood there, proud and expectant. The actor glared down at him and in forceful English said, "I do not speak that dialect, human."
I've never seen someone's dreams be shattered so visibly and thoroughly in so short a time.
That was a fucking experience for sure. I've never seen anything like it. It's so sad no one will be able to experience getting beamed up like that again.
Oh no did they close the attraction
Yes. In 2008
How did it work??
The group entered the next room, where they were instructed via monitor about the shuttle ride when there was "trouble" with the monitors... then the lights went out. Dozens of small round flashes flickered through the darkness to simulate the "transporter effect", accompanied by the transporter sound effect and a rush of cold air. When the lights returned, the walls and floor had changed... you appeared to be on the transporter pad aboard the USS Enterprise-D. The layout was similar to the usual transporter room as seen in Star Trek: The Next Generation, and the group was facing a Starfleet uniformed transporter technician at their station.
Basically, out of the blue, you are "transported", which if you weren't expecting it, was absolutely convincing. It seriously felt like you were in one place then "poof" you were in another place.
