Star Trek: The Tour

Hey guys, I was thinking about checking out the tour and was wondering if anyone had already seen it? The price seems kind of steep, is it worth it?

I don't even know where the tours are being held. It says 41 cities, but I can't find where they are listed. I would go, depending on close it was to my house.

Meh... Considering the content it really doesn't seem that bad in price.

Star Trek the Tour - Offical Site

 

If you're actually in Worcester, then Boston is listed.

Hopefully they mean Boston proper. Sometimes people list "Boston" and it is out in Springfield. Which is no where near Boston.

 

Supposedly the exhibit is 50,000 square feet. If it is in Boston (proper) then it'll probably be the BCEC, Hynes, or the Bayside Expo in Dorchester.

 

Considering how broken up the Hynes is and the fact that there is pretty much no decent or massive amount of parking in that area... I guesstimate that it would probably BCEC or Bayside. Especially since they are both on major highway routes with a good amount of parking in addition to being T accessible. I can't rule out Bayside just because of the space and parking, but BCEC also has the hotels right there and it is not even 10 minutes to Downtown Crossing by foot and there is also Fan Pier. But with that comes congestion from all the tourists which leans a little more in the favor of it being held at the Bayside Expo.

 

Anyone who knows Boston, specifically the BCEC area knows that on a normal day it is congested. I used to live and work in that area. It gets worse during conventions. Full disclosure: I don't like tourists. Being one, or having to deal with them.

 

Though since this is Boston... It won't matter if there are a bunch of people walking around in Trek uniforms.

We already have things like this happening at random:

At Oak Grove station (Subway) and no, it was not a holiday.

The odder thing about that day was that he did not get on the train around the 'tourist' historical spots. :D

A friend of mine in another forum went and wasn't too impressed. He said the props were cheesy (even by Star Trek standards), the entire tour takes about 40 minutes, and was not worth the time. Worst of all, the background music they play during the tour is the theme to... Galaxy Quest!

Why not? A couple years some people went to a Star Wars convention dressed like the original BSG Cylons.
