Tom Petty on the Bridge...which Bridge?

[Mres_was_framed!]

Saw this AMAZING photo today The date says 1989 but this looks the the bridge from movies I to IV, not V and VI. I was under the impression that the original movie Bridge set had been highly modified by 1989 (season 3 of TNG) and would not have still had this equipment. Can anyone give more insight into where/when this was taken?

Also not that Meyer's "No Smoking" signs, if present, were being ignored, lol.

I assume you are referring to the shot in this Tweet:

Yeah - the set looks pretty much as it did during TMP - save the order of the sections. It's hard to say what the correct date would be.

It came up in another thread, where it was said he's on Universal Studios bridge used in their Star Trek Adventure.

Shut off the gravity generators and Petty will be “Free Falling”.

I’ll see myself out.

Interesting. Could you link to that thread? I am not familiar with that Universal attraction.

It was in TNZ, an opt in forum.

I don't know if I know what you are referring to by "opt in forum." But maybe someone has seen and can give the highlights.

It's a special part of the TrekBBS that you have to sign up for. Kind of a no holds barred place for talking about "sensitive" topics.
What I said was pretty much the highlight.

Mixing Studios and such look like a bridge

I was the one who mentioned it to @Maurice who reported it in the TNZ thread. I participated in the attraction, which asked for audience participants. The tape is lost to time, however.

Costumes, masks, interactivity... and I thought STTE was cool.

C'mon we better go...

That confirms my theory that Tom Petty has actually been transported to the future and is now a crewman on the Enterprise.
Not to mention that he also has a new career as singer, touring the Federation.

It's like the musician Sonny Clemonds said in the TNG episode "The Neutral Zone" after being waken up by the Enterprise crew from his cryostatic sleep: "Well, one good thing is, since everybody's forgotten everything I ever did, it'll all be brand spanking new. I'll be a bigger hit than I ever was."

The same for Tom!

That would have been interesting to see. My web browser won't visit the link, though, since it is not HTTPS.

Looks like the STII/III Bridge. TMP bridge had seated station(s) between the turboliftfs, the II/III bridge did not.

Tom would be seated on the right side (conn or nav?) with the center seat behind him.

Sound check!

But is this really the set from the movie, or is it the ride, as some have suggested?

Not the sets from the films. The scale is different and there are differences in the captain’s chair.

 

[Oddish]

Tom Petty turns up in some funny places... he was a post-apocalyptic freedom fighter in "The Postman". One of the best things about that movie.

TMP had Spock's station between the turbolifts.
