Star Trek: The Original Series Set Tour to Open

[CorporalCaptain]

Congratulations on the license. It is a tremendous honor. I hope to be able to visit.

 

[Ryan Thomas Riddle]

Congrats!

My wife and I will have to get our passports. We're about four hours north, not counting the time it takes to get across the border. This looks seriously cool.

 

[MarsWeeps]

I hope the sets remain standing for many years. Someday I'd like to visit but more importantly, fans who grew up on TOS can take a trip back in time and relive some of their (our) fondest memories.

This is a permanent attraction!

This is so great of you to see this through to happening, James! I can hardly wait to visit.

Any chance it'll be open for Columbus Day weekend? I don't know what things are like up there these days, but when I was a kid Lake George and Fort Ticonderoga were popular Columbus Day weekend destinations and if that's still the case you'd have a lot of people already in the area...

 

[HerbFlynn]

I'm still very impressed by this - and It is sure to bring more tourists to the area.

I think James has just put the fun back into fandom

 

[OtherGene]

The photographs look fantastic, they ARE the Star Trek sets I watched as a child. I'm too far away to visit but if money were no object I'd be there.

We will be open at that time!

excellent

I too am very sad to hear about NV, they have been my favorite of the FF's out there, and really I hope we get to see the unseen episodes. But I am really stoked to be making the drive up for Trekcondaroga I'll only have Saturday there but well worth the 8 hour drive up and down.

Are the sets laid out exactly as they were on the soundstage for TOS, do they follow the same floorplan?

Did you read the first post in this thread?

Short answer: yes

Oops, missed that paragraph.

 

[GSchnitzer]

Yes, the sets have the same floor plan as the Desilu Stage 9 sets: the long curvy corridor with the two cross intersections, interconnected Sick Bay complex on one side (the "concave" side), and transporter room, briefing room, and Kirk's quarters on the other side (the "convex" side), and Engineering at the end. The bridge is separate and is non-contiguous.

 

[MarsWeeps]

Is the bridge a full 360 degrees? I know most of the episodes didn't have the full bridge but did you guys ever build the "final piece of the pie?"

 

[GSchnitzer]

It was 360 degrees. When we moved it to our new, larger studio, we set up only about 3/4 of it. But the rest will be coming back, too.

 

[Captain Jed R.]

Sad that New Voyages is ending: inevitable really, but still a genuine loss to fan films and to Trek fandom alike. :-(

It's good that the sets, so painstakingly recreated, will be put to such a positive use. :-)

 

[Ronald Held]

Greg, is the rest of the bridge coming by Trekonderoga?

I don't know. Much to be done on all the sets, not just the bridge.
