No, it's much, much cooler than a Pepper's Ghost illusion.

You are standing in a rectangular room with a bunch of other people in the 21st century. There is a bright flash of light, then darkness, then you are all standing in the round transporter bay of the Enterprise in the 24th century. The walls, ceiling, and floor are all completely changed but you experience no sense of motion. And this all happens in less than two seconds. It is an absolutely stunning effect!

I took the behind the scenes tour (which I highly recommend, but ONLY AFTER going on the regular version first!) and learned how it is done. It's absolutely brilliant.

The Borg Experience is mostly a 3D movie. Compared to the incredible immersion of the Klingon Encounter, both I and my Mom & Stepdad (neither of whom are Trekkers) were totally nonplussed.

Really? Even with the Borg in the halls-the live action parts were awesome (I thought)

The Borg Experience scared me to the point where I had to remind myself it was just an attraction

Klingon Encounter gave me a migraine. That I had to drive back to CA with. Not fun.

The first time I went was before the addition of the Borg side. You got to go on it as much as you wanted for like $20 w/coupon. I rode it three times in a row cause it was so cool! Then the second time I went, for $35 you got both rides only once. The Borg was cool, but not as much fun as the original. I hope they put it into USH.

I doubt Paramount would agree to that...

For some reason I thought it was the Borg one with the flashing strobes that gave you the headache?

The one with the motion simulator. My head got jerked around and then the flashing lights = major headache. Weren't there flashing lights on both? IIRC, the Borg may have made it worse, but the motion simulator one is what started it all.
