Hey, Wil Wheaton's actually a fun read.

I was transported for reals.

Totally and completely for reals!

The following spoiler is not spoiling anything about the effects. I just can't remember something about the Borg experience.

Spoiler:

I know that the original experience is a motion simulator. Is the Borg one as well? I remember being in the room, having the borg show up but I can't remember if there is a motion simulator at the end.

Meh, not religiously, Moonie. But, I have found a lot of interesting tidbits on it, and it keeps me coming back.

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 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...

Opps.

Confused Universal and Paramount. Darn, it would have been an easy fit, since Universal has a theme park and all.....

I don't know about that. There's a lot of cross-pollination of theme parks and movie studios. Just a brief list:

1) Paramount's property, Indiana Jones, at Disney's parks
2) Warner's property, Harry Potter, at Universal's park
3) Fox's property, The Simpsons, at Universal's park
4) Fox's [original] property, Star Wars, at Disney's park
5) MGM's property, Wizard of Oz et al, at Disney's park
6) Sony's property, Spiderman, at Universal's park
7) Fox's property, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, at Universal's park for Halloween
8) Paramount's [original] property, Psycho, at Universal's park
9) MGM's property, Child's Play, at Universal's park for Halloween
10) Orion/MGM/Columbia Tristar's property, Terminator, at Universal's park

And that's just off the top of my head. I'm sure there's loads more.

Well as long as it has nothing to do with Charmin stuck to your shoes...

In all seriousness, Alex and I will be heading to Vegas over the weekend to do this. We've been to Vegas several times together and a couple of times, we've been to the LV Hilton with intentions to go see this thing, and always backed out because it cost so damn much. This time to prevent such chicken-ness I pre-purchased the tickets for both of the attractions.
