Beam Me Down, Scottie

First it was a pyramid, then pirates, then the Wizard of Oz. Now comes Star Trek.

Hilton Hotels Corp. and Paramount Parks Inc. announced Tuesday they will begin work soon on a Star Trek attraction scheduled to open in late 1996.

The attraction, “Star Trek - The Experience,” will be an interactive experience, with each visitor assuming the role of a Starfleet or alien crew member and becoming immersed in a futuristic environment.
