Fans can now experience what it was like on the bridge of the USS Enterprise-D

There are dozens of shows and films to watch if you're a Star Trek fan. Thousands of things to collect and millions of fans. Each and every year there are conventions for those of us who want to go and co-mingle with fellow fans and even the occasional cruise. To say there is a lack of interest in the Star Trek brand from the fans would be a lie. There is clearly interest.

Yet aside from the super expensive cruises and at times, overcrowded conventions, there really aren't a lot of places for Star Trek fans to go to if they're looking for a trip. Sure, you can visit the two Trek statues; the James Kirk one in Riverside, IA, or the Kathryne Janeway in Bloomington ID. That's about it though.

The actual Star Trek attractions aren't that common. Sure, there are fan-centric conventions all the time but if you look at the Star Wars fandom with envy over Disney building them an entire park, sorry, there really isn't anything comparable.

Until now, we already talked about how Universal Studios Hollywood is bringing in the Star Trek fandom for their "Fan Fest Nights" next spring, but now we know what that entails. According to Universal Studios (via TrekMovie.com), the new attraction will welcome fans to a full-on Star Trek experience.

Trek fans will want to head to California in early 2025 to engage in a fun and exciting new opportunity that fans everywhere will love. For the first time for most people, you'll be able to relive your favorite moments from Star Trek: The Next Generation (and not-so-fun moments from Star Trek: Picard) by going aboard the actual bridge of the USS Enterprise-D.

Here's how Universal Studios (again via TrekMovie) explains the temporary exhibit;

"Inspired by the Star Trek universe that has entertained millions of fans, this exciting experience will boldly take guests on an immersive and thrilling adventure aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise-D where they will have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to step onto the bridge, an original set piece featured in the third and final season of Star Trek: Picard."

While the set was likely used from Picard, it was based and designed off of the bridge from Star Trek: The Next Generation. So even if you're not a fan of the newer shows, fans of the classic stuff will still be able to relish in the nostalgia that comes with the set.
