The Star Trek: TNG Bridge Replica from Star Trek: The Experience

Presented below are some detailed photos of one of the two full scale Enterprise-D Bridge replicas from the Star Trek: The Experience attraction in Nevada; which completed an 11 year run at the Las Vegas Hilton in September, 2008. Not only did the exhibit feature 3D adventure ride simulators in the midst of the set recreations to fully immerse visitors in the futuristic 24th century world of Star Trek: TNG; but the Experience, which cost $70 million to construct, contained what was advertised as the largest permanent collection of Star Trek props and costumes in the world in its The History of the Future museum.

This past weekend, on Sat. April 10th, the California based entertainment memorabilia auction house Propworx, http://www.propworx.com , presided over a historic "Star Trek: The Experience Warehouse Sale" at which many large bridge set fixtures, starfleet-themed panels, starship models and model sections as well as wardrobe items from the attraction were offered to the public. More on this exciting sale will follow in the next article.

For now, a look back at the Experience Enterprise-D Bridge. Special thanks to photographer Bryan Groulx of DigitalProperties.ca for his gracious permission in allowing his many beautiful images of the Bridge to be displayed below.
