I hope when the experierce reopens this ride is there and unchanged

[histrion2]

Well, they'd have to change some of the end footage - the ride won't be at the Hilton any more.

If they're going to 're-open' this attaction, it'll be from scratch. I seem to remember reading somewhere they auctioned off the props from both experiences within the last year. On one hand it means it would probably be a completely new experience...but it could end up better or worse.

Can always hope it gets revived at some level... even if it's just a motion control ride without the full experience, it would be kinda fun to go around again.

it would have been better without the music

I'll marry a man who takes me to see this. <3

The dude who's supposed to be herding along the customers through the ride sounds totally unmotivated. Then again, I'm sure after doing this thing like 12 times a day it gets to be really boring.

If I ever had the chance to go I would have brought some herb and skunked my ride through the 23rd century, then nothing but good times would ensue.

@chakotay24 I think it cost them about $75 million just to build the original Klingon Encounter. And the attendence never made up for it. I remember the General Manager said she'd need ot make $20 off every person coming in just for the place ot break even. For an example, the Spider-Man musical needs to sell out EVERY show from now until 2016 just to break even. It's similar with a stand alone attraction like this. It needs to be part of something like Disneyland to do well.

@JediBillman well the first time I went there it cost $30 which was before the Borg Invasion opened. I think they have to much to gain not to reopen it. There is always a chance they might reopen it in a different city although I would hate to see it leave Vegas.

[JediBillman]

@chakotay24 It's never going to reopen. It's been about 2 years since they tried, and absolutely no effort has been made. There's really nowhere to put it. The Hilton was a good spot, but they wanted to charge almost $40 bucks for people to go there. When I started working there, it was $10 to get in. Then I watched it climb to $15, $25, $39.99 Ridiculous.

Anyone know if Quark's Bar will also be at the new location? I hope so... that place was awesome.

[TheSecondEvolution]

LOL That would be crazy! You're walking down the strip to the Bellagio with your girlfriend(or boyfriend) to go to The Bank club and suddenly, an interstellar dog-fight between starfleet and Klingon ships comes out of nowhere.

[chakotay24]

true especcialy where the shuttles are generly flying above Vgeas, that needs to be updated more then anything.
