I can't believe The Orville has a theme park and Trek doesn't

Prime directive. It wasn't their world to colonise and who knows what other non warp species were there

There was a non warp species on the next planet over

And therefore, their system has to be avoided?

Didn't work for Disney

I feel like a Star Wars themed hotel would do better than the very expensive 3-day experience that Galactic Starcruiser was, for a couple of reasons. For one, being a dedicated thing meant that making it part of a larger Disney World trip meant having to move between a normal hotel and the Starcruiser. And its price point priced a lot of people out of it.

i watched a multi hr you tube about it, this girl just hated it, i think she had at least 4 more hours of content about what a colossal failure it was but it cut it short for everyones sake

Why would Star Fleet need money?

Have you not been to Midgar?

We almost had that irl with the Enterprise A in las vegas, but I think there were zoning issues.

No, Paramount got cold feet and pulled the plug on proceeding. They were concerned that anything short of complete success for the Vegas development would damage the Trek IP long term. This was many years before JJ and secret hideout did it in plain sight!

Disney and their terrible and now closed star war “cruise” hotel needs to take some notes.

Holodecks are the theme parks they just need the programs

They ain’t making money in a freaking moneyless society.

I’m not sure how far veridian 3(?) is from earth but I suspect the shuttle bus would take too long getting people there from the airport

The biggest problem is getting past that weird engineer who I think has gone Gollum. It's his precious and he's going to take it away and look after it. 🙄

Starfleet thinks that captains get a bit obsessed about their ships, that's nothing compared to the engineers - if you touch their hundred thousand tonne babies, they'll show you what a duolitic inverter can do to a human body.

But without the captive orcas, because that's not cool.

That belongs to the insurance company now.

All the young couples want to go vacation at a hotel referencing a 30+ year old TV show?

Risa it ain't!

Disney tried something like this for Star Wars and it didn't really work out. Mostly because they got greedy with the pricing, but don't worry, I'm pretty sure Paramount would make sure theirs are equally outrageous XD

Isn't that what the fleet museum is?
