Borg Invasion 4D (Las Vegas)
Location: Star Trek: The Experience, Las Vegas Hilton
Our thoughts: The newest ride at the Star Trek Experience claims to be 4D, which means that in addition to the 3-D movie you get live actors running around pretending to be Borg and other such Trek silliness.
We've only ridden this once, and for most of the ride we kept waiting around to see where the Borg were going to come from. This suspense alone caused us to miss the first part of the ride, where they explain what is going on (something about the visitors to the ride being part of a science experiment that can cause the Borg assimilation process to fail). Anyway, the station you are on gets attacked by the Borg, and the actors/crew members then lead you down through several hallways in an attempt to get you to the shuttle craft so you can escape. Along the way, several Borg appear and try to assimilate you, although they never actually touch you (probably to avoid any lawsuits). There are some pretty cool special effects along the way, so keep your eyes open.
You eventually make it to the "shuttle," which is bigger than the Klingon Encounter shuttle. In fact, it's more like a movie theater than a simulator ride. You then put on the 3-D glasses and you get to watch a 3-D movie where the Borg attack, and the 4-D kicks in with some special effects and some in-seat features (we won't spoil it for you).
Like the Klingon Encounter, after the ride is over you end up in the shopping area of the Star Trek Experience.
Tip: Don't touch the Borg. They probably don't like that.
