CBS and Cedar Fair announced that the Star Trek: The Experience themed attraction in the Las Vegas Hilton will close on Sept. 1, confirming news first reported on TrekMovie.com.
The decade-old experience--which includes two Star Trek-themed motion simulator rides, Quark's bar and restaurant and a shopping arcade--has seen attendance and revenues fall for years, TrekMovie reported.
CBS held out the possibility that The Star Trek Experience might find new life in some other form, telling TrekMovie, "We're extremely proud of the 10-year run Star Trek the Experience had in Las Vegas. We're currently exploring several options to continue The Experience for the public to enjoy for years to come."
