Los Angeles, CA - February 7, 2008 - Due to popular demand, SEE Touring Productions and Metropolitan Talent announced today that STAR TREK THE TOUR, the world's largest interactive Star Trek exhibit, will be extending its run at the Queen Mary Dome in Long Beach, CA through March 2nd.
"We're delighted to extend the opportunity for visitors of all ages to attend STAR TREK THE TOUR and experience firsthand the magic behind one of entertainment's most beloved icons," explained Martin Biallas, CEO of SEE Touring Productions, Inc, which is producing the event.
"We received an overwhelmingly positive response since the launch of the tour, and will give visitors the opportunity to continue to enjoy this unique traveling theme park with family and friends," said John Scher, CEO of Metropolitan Talent, Inc.
The Tour kicked off with a star-studded opening night gala, held on January 17th. The event featured appearances by celebrities and cast members from various Star Trek TV series and films. Celebrity guests in attendance included the Tour's Celebrity Ambassador William Shatner, Wil Wheaton and Tim Russ.
STAR TREK THE TOUR gives the public the opportunity to step inside the Star Trek world and become active participants in the legacy that has captured the imagination of generations: From the chance to sit on a Starship bridge from the Original TV series to traveling through space on motion simulators, STAR TREK THE TOUR offers the whole family the opportunity to be fully immersed in the action. Plus, the Tour features the world's largest collection of authentic Star Trek ships, sets, costumes and props from all 5 TV series and 10 films over the last 40+ years.
Highlights of STAR TREK THE TOUR include:
- The chance to take a ride through a Star Trek adventure in four full-motion, show-based flight simulators.
- An all-new multimedia Encounter Theater, built like a theater in-the-round with 360-degree video screens. Computer-generated sequences put visitors in the middle of the Star Trek action.
- The opportunity for exhibit-goers to sit on a full-size Enterprise bridge from the original TV series and have their photo taken and superimposed with an image of the original cast - including Spock, McCoy and Scotty - showing the Enterprise crew standing right next to them.
- Detailed recreations of original sets from Star Trek: The Next Generation®, including Captain Picard's quarters, Dr. Crusher's sick bay and the majestic NCC-1701-D Bridge.
- The ability for guests to star with the original cast in an episode of their choice and watch themselves interact with Star Trek icons such as Spock and Scotty. Guests can take home a DVD of their cameo to share with family and friends.
The 50,000 square foot exhibition is equal in size to nearly two football fields filled with 250 tons of priceless Star Trek sets, original props, costumes and creations.
STAR TREK THE TOUR, under a licensing agreement with CBS Consumer Products, is produced by SEE Touring Productions Inc. and presented by Metropolitan Talent Inc.
The extended STAR TREK THE TOUR will also feature new hours. The exhibit will be open Friday from 12:00 Noon - 8PM, Saturday and Sunday, 10AM - 6PM and Monday, February 18 from 10AM - 6PM.
