THANK YOU FOR THIS, I've wondered an eternity how they did the transporter effect. Thank you for finally solving that mystery for me a next generation later!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS!!! I was 10 when we stayed at the Hilton. That was the most phenomenal experience for me at that time. I had just done all the boring simulator rides that were popular back then. I had no idea to be expecting hurricane winds and being beamed onto the holodeck. I cannot wait to visit the Bridge Restoration project's museum once completed. This is amazing you had this footage.
VERY COOL! THANK YOU GUYS for doing this and capturing all of April’s wonderful stories! I saw this attraction once and was blown away by the transporter effect, so it’s awesome to see how it worked!
This brings back memories of just how GRAINY digital pix were back then! I took some back in April of 1998 with my trusty Sony Mavica that wrote to 3.5" floppy disk!
The host did a great job as a Vulcan, holding back emotion in the closing ceremony of the attraction....she fought it hard when she was presented the official banner to hold safe....she was the longest tenured member of the experience.
I filmed the closing ceremony! April holding back tears when she was presented with the banner was truly heartwarming! LLAP ST:TE! 🖖☺ ▶ th-cam.com/video/ZThaDeqCpbk/w-d-xo.html
"Now everyone look up. Keep looking up." "Wow!" Camera stays on the host looking amazed at what he's seeing... Well done... (Head shake AND forehead slap)
April is such an interesting person to listen at! Too bad the mic guy is sometimes a bit annoying cutting her, and the camera isn't always pointing to the interesting bits (the roof of the transporter room!) but anyways, THANKS A TON or these interesting footages!
Love this, thanks for posting. I went twice, and one time for the back stage tour you filmed, sadly with out April. I am send this to my ST friends, this is good. LLAP
37:00 - Not only is the set complete unlike a TV/movie set/stage but you also don't get the beeps and bloops, the graphics on the monitors/viewscreen, the hum of the engines as you hear here, obviously piped in on speakers. Most guest actors to the show said that the most jarring thing was the lack of sound on set when they were filming a scene. All of that gets added in post.
Except they _did_ pipe that in while you were on the Experience. Not for the behind the scenes tour, if I recall correctly. And the best thing is, nobody ever realizes it on the show, but if you're on the set without it, it's like something fundamental is missing. Just in case anyone misunderstood you. :)
+TimoKa Having used and operated the transporter at the Experience many times, I can tell you it's really quite simple. Memory Alpha has the most concise explanation, though: "A transporter lock was usually maintained by tracing the homing signal of a communicator or combadge. When there was a risk that such devices would be lost in the field or are otherwise unavailable, personnel could be implanted with a subcutaneous transponder before an away mission, to still provide a means to maintain a transporter lock. Alternatively, sensors could be used to scan for the bio-sign or energy signature of a subject, which could then be fed into the transporter's targeting scanner for a lock. Next, the lifeform or object to be beamed was scanned on the quantum level, using a molecular imaging scanner. At this point, Heisenberg compensators took into account the position and direction of all subatomic particles composing the object or individual and created a map of the physical structure being disassembled, amounting to billions of kiloquads of data. Simultaneously, the object was broken down into a stream of subatomic particles, also called the matter stream. While certain types of energy could be transported safely, active phaser beams would be disrupted during this breakdown process. The matter stream was briefly stored in a pattern buffer while the system compensates for Doppler shift to the destination. The matter stream was then transmitted to its destination across a subspace domain. As with any type of transmission of energy or radiation, scattering and degradation of the signal must be monitored closely. The annular confinement beam (ACB) acted to maintain the integrity of the information contained in the energy beam. Finally, the initial process was reversed and the object or individual was reassembled at the destination." I hope that helps. :)
10:10 -- Very sad spoiler... no, they didn't get homes. A crew came in and unceremoniously snipped the supports and let them drop to the floor and break to pieces. And then threw them in a dumpster. 😭
what killed this attraction was greed, locals paid half price of tourist, I was going every trip but did not go in it once after the prices changed. same with the stratosphere tower, use to go up every trip but same BS pricing so I stopped going to either one and so did 50+ people that I know. we are all business men and it was not the cost that stopped us it was the principle of the nonsense pricing, tourism already pays the taxes for Nevada why should the locals get a second free ride? plain disgusting not to mention all the new BS fees
The Strat is so expensive, and you’ve got to justify going to Fremont already. I want to do the revolving bar/restaurant as a bucket list item but the food is whack expensive and the bar keeps closing whenever I visit.

For those of us that loved going there and were very sad when it closed this is soooo welcome. Thanks for putting it here.

Fantastic! Thanks for posting. Transporter effect is so simple yet breathtaking in person. I was lucky to have experienced it myself.

@@nikzane VEGAS Star Trek Con next week!
@@diamondplate Lucky! I'm a little far away (Australia) to attend nowadays! Enjoy and LLAP!!!! 🖖☺
OMG the amount of detail they put into designing the sets. Even the easter eggs too..I miss this sooooo much 😭

Sorry...we needed a dedicated camera man actually.
I was there opening weekend. I'll never forget the ride, the museum of the future (still feels like there should be reverb for " the future")
I did this tour myself for my second (and what would turn out to be my final) time there.
April is such an interesting person to listen at! Too bad the mic guy is sometimes a bit annoying cutting her, and the camera isn't always pointing to the interesting bits (the roof of the transporter room!) but anyways, THANKS A TON or these interesting footages!
I couldn't agree more about the mic guy trying to crack a joke after EVERY THING SHE SAID.
Awesome!!!

70 million wow sheesh

I will never understand why they shut this down. Miss it!
Licensing issues. :’(
I rode the rides many many times and could never figer out how the room transported us.

43:00 - If your hydraulics aren't leaking fluid, you're out of hydraulic fluid.
And that computer's operating system was Windows 3.1
I was hoping for a transporter malfunction that would rearrange someone's molecules.
She loved herself…
