Although I'm not a Star Trek fan, I was really impressed by Star Trek: Operation Enterprise (it has some really good preshows, really well done queue, and the coaster itself is also really fun) so yes, more Star Trek attractions would be nice to see
This is the only major amusement history channel thats covered this attraction and its looks amazing! I wish I could have taken part in it when it was open!
My parents' and I did the "Your Day at Universal" experience in ~'93. I was wearing a blue shirt that day, and they lent me a white Universal studios t-shirt, but it didn't fully cover my blue shirt, so my head and arms look to be not attached to my body. I still have the tape, I'm going to go watch it and have a good laugh!
I got to do the Hollywood one when I was in high school. I was the Enterprise's engineering bridge duty officer, which was that portside console next to the turbolift door that actually opened. One person was deliberately told to throw themselves in the opposite direction of everyone else during the attack scene.
Fun fact: Tom Petty held a listening party for his 1989 record, Full Moon Fever, on the bridge of the Enterprise here. While I never made it to the Las Vegas Trek Experience, I did make it to this when I was 12 or 13.
Doing the screen test in the 90s is one of my family's most cherished memories. One of my sister's Vulcan ears fell off and 3 year old me didn't want to push the button. Thanks for covering this.
Oh, this brings back so many great memories. As a kid maybe 6-7 years old, a friend and I were selected to be in the show. I was a crew member that was beamed to the rock planet. My friend was the green Klingon dog. Oh it was so much fun as a kid. Thank you for the trip down memory lane.

I was a part of the Hollywood Studios version, and was cast as one of the Klingons. Barely missed out on winning the growl-off (and the guy who got the role of Captain told me that I should have won). I don't remember the year, but it was before 1992, since despite being over 6', I needed my mom to sign off on the consent form, as I was still too young to sign legal documents. I definite stood out, since I couldn't be without my glasses and hope to not run into things, to say nothing of being able to read the cue card. I thought it was a great experience, and had a lot of fun doing it. I still have the videocassette, and I keep thinking that I need to get it digitized someday. As a side note, many years later, my wife and I were on vacation in Florida, and were doing 'Lunch With An Astronaut' at Cape Canaveral. I struck up a conversation with the guy next to me, and it turns out he helped make the Klingon costumes for the Star Trek Adventure in Hollywood when it opened.
I was in high school around that same time when I did it. I was the Enterprise's engineering bridge duty officer. Still got my tape, and I think we might have to talk to Paramount about the transfer rights.
LOOOOVE this series!!! Can we PLEASE have more Star Trek themed attractions - who do we need to talk to to MAKE IT SO???? Also, that footage of the Mummy lockers and the Tribute Store are so cool!!!!!!!! ;)
0:25 “The captain?" "The Vulcan? C'mon Leonard it's the captain that makes things happen, it's his story!" "Bill get serious, the audience watches the vulcan!" ~Stop! this bickering is pointless" ~It is most Illogical..."
I was fortunate enough to go to Florida on a high school field trip back in 1990. I was the ONLY Star Trek fan but I talked my buddies into doing it with me. It was AMAZING, at the time ,and every bit as cheesy as you described but the closest I would ever come to captaining the Enterprise 🖖. Thank you so much for posting. I lost the VHS in a fire so this was a great trip to a wonderful memory.
Omg! My family did this. I was one of the only ones out of family reunion not selected to participate, and I was devastated. I was a huge Star Trek fan even as a child. I'm still a little salty lol. My dad was the Klingon captain. My parents recently digitized their VHS copy.
Never had a chance to experience this but it's so delightfully cheesy. I whole heartedly agree Star Trek is drastically under utilized in theme parks these days. I remember going to Great America here in California when they had Farenghi and Klingons walking around interacting with us guests. Really utilized their intellectual properties really well. They could easily land a great deal again with another theme park company to do a motion based dark ride. Easily tons of workable ideas that can be done with this.
Yes! I can't wait for the Poseidon's Fury episode! I know the attraction doesn't seem like much with today's technology, but I've always found it to be Charming. I wish they would have kept better care of it and renovated some what
My favorite part was the water tunnel. I think if they rewrote the narrative and made some more interactive experiences (like go deeper into the initial archaeology idea but have the audience solve the puzzles), it would’ve done a whole lot better. I went when I was 13 when they updated the story to where Poseidon was saving the audience from Ares/Zeus. Apparently the original iteration was Poseidon trying to attack us (which makes way more sense). But the former gave more opportunities for different effects so I see why they changed it
Seeing the Hollywood live version in the audience I thought it was cheesy as heck. However on the other hand the little jokes and sheer amount of “volunteer” involvement was so slick that I even wondered if it wasn’t really audience volunteers but actual actors in some those parts. How did they make folks disappear on stage?! And a little kid at the end of the line had a perfectly timed joke of saluting the wrong way before vanishing. So on a later visit I decided I’d love to be IN it and find out! Especially if I could be in the transporter scene to experience how it was done. As good fortune would have it I was chosen to be in the experience PLUS also got to be in that exact scene. It was EXTREMELY IMPRESSIVE behind the scenes to watch and be a part of just how VERY well organized it was back stage, with brand new recruited audience members being shown exactly what to do extremely quickly etc. Including again, a little kid volunteer they trained quickly on the spot to do that salute joke. The transporter effect was awesome to actually experience on stage. We walked out and followed our cues. We couldn’t see the audience, but as we “disappeared “ we could gradually see the audience then we could walk off having disappeared! Must have been a one way screen or glass pane of sorts that they could switch or activate, that if you could see them they couldn’t see you and visa versa. I was extremely impressed by just how much went into it and how well organized it all was. I bought my extremely expensive vhs!
Expedition Theme Park thanks! Edited above to include a few more details. For all the cheese it was actually extremely well done, light years ahead of the previous filmed audience participation shows (which I watched a buddy of mine ended up jumping in that water in ‘82:))
Btw I additionally was in that scene where we attacked each other with huge “rocks” on the planet. I deliberately repeatedly kept hitting my opponent right in the crotch wondering if they’d instruct me to please do otherwise. They let it go and it was filmed that way 😂
I was a member of a Star Trek fan club in 1988 and was one of the fortunate ones that got selected to attend the opening at Universal Studios Hollywood. I was 17 at the time and my parents were going to take me, but unfortunately, it was the same time as my senior year high school band trip that I had already committed to. One of my big regrets in life!!!
In 1980 the outdoor theater did a Six Million Dollar Man part. My dad was selected for it. Then I was part of the Star Trek experience around 1989. I was a huge Star Trek fan. I told the crew about it. After doing the show they took me around the sets, let me take pictures, and explained all the special effects to me. It was a lot of fun.
Did this a few times when I was a kid. Was part of the transporter/away crew and got to wail on my Klingon dad with a boulder. We still have the VHS tape somewhere!
I was about 10 years old when I was chosen to be part of that show on one of our trips to Universal Studios. It was awesome. I was one of the engineers that could not fix the reactor and we all died
Great content as usual- I pride myself on theme park trivia, and honestly didn’t know this existed. That’s why TPE is the best theme park retrospective channel on TH-cam. Thanks for all the work you put into your content!
I got to a member of the star trek Adventure crew back in 1992 where i got to say the iconic line Captain there'res a Klingon vessel ! Those were fun times
I was getting major flashbacks showing the episode recap of the original Adventure. When I was younger, my mother was picked to be a cast member of the ground crew for one shoot.
In 1986 at Universal Hollywood I got chosen to be part of a scene based on the movie 2010 (the sequel to 2001: A Space Odyssey). At that point they were doing scenes from several different movies, the most memorable one being from E.T. where they put some kid on a bicycle and made him fly through the air. The 2010 scene was a lot of fun as we got to climb into space suits and be flown around on wires recreating a space walk scene. It was all really high tech stuff for 1986 and a highlight of my vacation to be sure.
In the 90’s at Universal in California, I and another person in the audience were chosen to do a scene in front of a blue screen, we were tethered on wires above the sound stage in space suits and appeared to be space walking outside of our ship among the stars. I’m sure there were probably voice overs to poke fun of us, but I sure had a blast.😊
My stepdad still has the tape that Universal Studios (CA) gave him when he got to play the captain of the Klingons. It was so cheesy but so fun to watch. My aunt was an alien as well. I miss this attraction
I Loved this Video. Thank you for taking the time to show us this Star Trek Experience and the history. I appreciate your time to entertain and educate me.
These were actually experiences I was interested in. Although I had no desire to go to the parks, I did hear people at Star Trek conventions talk about them. The one in Orlando struck me as the most interesting actually because the actors having had to film things special for it. I liked also the ider that people had to pay specifically to do it because that felt like people who really cared were going to go for it. Fan logic I know.
I remember the Star Trek Adventures. Went to Universal Hollywood with my grandparents and got selected to be the dragon hound. Lol the Captian was too quick with giving me the arm of his crew member and accedientnly smacked me in the costume face. I was supposed to play with the arm as he talked, but the stage hands forgot to warn me that a blast was going to happen behind me and I ended up put my hands up to my face in worry for the rest of the scene. I still have the tape they give you for participating and laugh.
My name is Chris. I was one of the directors at the Universal Florida Star trek Adventure. I directed the VERY LAST Star Trek Adventure on New Year's Eve 1995! I wanted it that way, because being a director there was the BEST job in the whole park. The last video made was for two gentlemen from South Africa, one was Caucasian, the other was African. The African played the captain. I feel the program ended just the way Gene Roddenberry would've wanted it, with an African playing the lead role, and the two from a country with a tarnished history of Apartheid. P.S. I still have the "Studio 6 Star Trek Adventure" sign in my possession as well as one of the Starfleet uniforms!
I enjoyed the Star Trek attractions at Universal Studios in Florida. It was sad to see them close. I would like to see Star Trek attractions brought back to theme parks again in the near future.
My family went down to visit family in the early 90's. Let's run it down: we all did the Star Trek, my mom was in the Earthquake blue screen, I played Skipper in a Gilligan's Island, I did a voice over for Murder She Wrote (The last 2 might have been MGM). It is still my favorite vacation ever.
Oh there's so much I have missed out on. Bit late to the theme park game but I'm hooked on them so much. Another fantastic video.... This looked really good
DUDE I WAS IN ONE OF THESE WHEN I WAS A LITTLE KID! My brother and I were both in it. He was the Klingon's lizard dog and I was the engineer who gets dunked. If I could find the tape, I'd upload it to YT. 😆
I can't believe I never heard of this! And it was decades ago! I did go to Universal when they had the Emergency thing. I know they used to have the Miami Vice action spectacular, but It would have been cool if they had a Miami Vice "screen test" ride. Or didn't they?? Only thing, the combination of video tape and filmed scenes of Emergency looked inconsistent, but it was probably quicker than just all film, maybe. It was amusing, of course, either way.
Hey I mentioned how your next video is my favorite ride in IOA but I just didn’t have enough time to do it. Also in that preview center I really dig the shooting galley in marvel.
I actually got to be part of the Experience at Universal Hollywood twice...both times, I played the Klingon commander who gets his head shot off with a phaser after yelling attack orders in Klingon ...Fantastic fun, but both times I was too cheap to buy the souvenir VHS! Really wish I did!
I was in one of the Great Chase attraction shows. I was a "stunt double" for the western bank robbers and had to jump into a tank of warm water with about 3 other people. I still have the VHS cassette that I had bought somewhere.
Star Trek has been ao underrated in popculture as of late, but wuth the rise of talk and people getting tired of no new themed attractions I hope we start to see an uptick, soon - I'm only 22 so I have yet to experience anything besides a TV show! Lol
I did this with my girlfriend at the time at Universal Studios Hollywood. She was on the Enterprise as the helmsman and I got to be a Klingon on the Bird of Prey. Now I just need to find my old VHS copy.
The Florida one might have been lesser but if I had went and got to be in an episode with McCoy, Scotty, Sulu, Chekov, aNd Uhura it would be my most cherish tape ever.
I reckon, a ride with intractable elements of a functioning bridge i.e. the various consoles could make for an incredible Star Trek experience. I was thinking, why not make a real Kobayashi Maru sim ride. Essentially, a video game but with screen accurate functioning consoles. The helm console, Captain's chair, Comms, Ops, and Weapons. All of them on an aircraft sim rig. I know that the VR game exists, but this would be real and could feel real with the simulator.
To answer the question.
Yes to more Star Trek rides and double yes for a Star Trek land.
Agreed
Star Trek land needs to be a thing.
100% agree.
Star Trek: The Ride needs to replace The Simpsons Ride. And, it should be based on the Star Trek reboot films.
I'm scared they would do a Star Trek Discovery Land
I still have a VHS copy of my own -- it somehow survived Hurricane Katrina. 💜

Hey I mentioned how your next video is my favorite ride in IOA but I just didn’t have enough time to do it. Also in that preview center I really dig the shooting galley in marvel.
I was a Klingon in this show once. Was a fun experience
I hope universal sees how popular this was and builds an entire Star Trek land like all the rumors are saying.
Yeahhh
Except you know it would be based on either Star Trek Discovery or the JJ Abrams "Kelvinverse" nonsense and not real Star Trek.
@@Dargonhuman A land-sized STD. Now there's a terrifying thought.
@@Dargonhuman I really dont care what it is based off as long as its star trek and its an immersive land comparable to galaxys edge
I'm A Huge Big Super Awesome Star Trek Fan. Thanks Mate. X
I actually got to be part of the Experience at Universal Hollywood twice...both times, I played the Klingon commander who gets his head shot off with a phaser after yelling attack orders in Klingon ...Fantastic fun, but both times I was too cheap to buy the souvenir VHS! Really wish I did!
The 70”s was a style Hell hole......
I knew of the Experience in Las Vegas but never knew of this. Love the video!
Thank you!
I would love to see Star Trek rides and attractions return. Star Trek is my favorite!
I did the Florida version with my brother in 1991. We hammed it up, and maybe one day we'll post the digitized version :)
i did this when i was a child and it was amazing
Omg, in the 90s my dad got to be the Klingon Captain and, I swear to god, he had the picture on his desk until he passed away earlier this year.
Can't wait for the next episode!!
Soon!
I did this attraction as a teen with my late uncle.I played the Vulcan officer. Sadly, I lost the VHS many years ago. It was amazing.
I was in one of the Great Chase attraction shows. I was a "stunt double" for the western bank robbers and had to jump into a tank of warm water with about 3 other people. I still have the VHS cassette that I had bought somewhere.
Star Trek has been ao underrated in popculture as of late, but wuth the rise of talk and people getting tired of no new themed attractions I hope we start to see an uptick, soon - I'm only 22 so I have yet to experience anything besides a TV show! Lol
I can’t believe I got to stand in this place years later by way of being the member of my group to handle the lockers on the mummy ride 😂
That looks fun as heck
1:16 That actor shaken the S*** outta that poor woman. 😂
I did this with my girlfriend at the time at Universal Studios Hollywood. She was on the Enterprise as the helmsman and I got to be a Klingon on the Bird of Prey. Now I just need to find my old VHS copy.
This experience needs to return especially since Star Trek is in a new revitalization.
I appeared in one of the shows at Universal Hollywood. I played the Klingon captain as I recall
I did this, it was brilliant. I still have the tape somewhere
Yes I'd love another Star Trek ride somewhere. I would have preferred that rather than galaxy's edge.
I would love to see Star Trek back at Universal Studios Hollywood.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great video! You always provide interesting roller coaster content
Thanks
The Florida one might have been lesser but if I had went and got to be in an episode with McCoy, Scotty, Sulu, Chekov, aNd Uhura it would be my most cherish tape ever.
Yes it would be great to have a new star trek park
I’m not even a big Trek fan, but I could listen to that TNG theme all day. I didn’t even know this was a thing at a Universal Park.
Such a good theme
I reckon, a ride with intractable elements of a functioning bridge i.e. the various consoles could make for an incredible Star Trek experience. I was thinking, why not make a real Kobayashi Maru sim ride. Essentially, a video game but with screen accurate functioning consoles. The helm console, Captain's chair, Comms, Ops, and Weapons. All of them on an aircraft sim rig. I know that the VR game exists, but this would be real and could feel real with the simulator.
i did this. i was in this. i have the video of this. somewhere haha. loved this. i was a kid
Classic memory !
I’d love to see a Star Trek theme park, but based on either classic Trek or the TNG-ENT era.
So good love this 🖖🏾🤓
Thanks!
Expedition Theme Park you rock..... keep up 👍👍👍👍😉
This dudes vids are awsome everybody tell your friends about this guy he should have more subs than 115k
12:42 Bill and Leonard's chairs are floating over the edge of the stage
I loved that the soundtrack they used included the Wilhelm!!!
The classic!
My wife and I STILL have the Video of the First Star Trek Screen Test experience. Wow, we were young back then.
Good memories!
