On the way back from San Diego, I stopped off in Las Vegas to go to Star Trek: The Experience and, um, experience their new attraction: Borg Invasion 4-D. (“The fourth dimension is interaction!”)
While it was enjoyable, it was a bit of a disappointment.
When I first went to their Klingon Encounter attraction several years ago, I was grinning ear to ear when it was over. At the time, it was the best simulator ride I’d ever been on — and it still is.
Borg Invasion is not up to that standard. I have been to better 3-D-movie type attractions (“Honey, I Shrunk the Audience,” “Terminator 2 3-D”) and a better interactive attractions (the aforementiond “Honey…” and “Alien Encounter.”)
In fact, Disney World’s Alien Encounter is what I was hoping Borg Invasion would be like. AE was a heart-poundingly scary experience, and I loved it.
However, as long as you don’t have high expectations, Borg Invasion 4-D is an enjoyable ride, and of course, you can still go to the Klingon Encounter part of the Experience.
