    Yes I’ve been there, very relatable, but my experience was getting “beamed up” at Star Trek The Experience at the LVH in Las Vegas back in 2006. I’ll never forget the feeling of suddenly being on the bridge.

      Just left the same comment. It was surreal for the few moments you were on the bridge.

      The other thing I remember vividly is the poor guy who ran up to one of the actors who was in full Klingon costume. The guy belted out some phrase in Klingon you know he had been rehearsing for weeks and stood there, proud and expectant. The actor glared down at him and in forceful English said, “I do not speak that dialect, human.”

      I’ve never seen someone’s dreams be shattered so visibly and thoroughly in so short a time.

      That was a fucking experience for sure. I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s so sad no one will be able to experience getting beamed up like that again.
