Last night marked the end of Universal Fan Fest Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood, and the final chance (as far as we know) for fans to visit the Enterprise-D bridge set, originally constructed for Star Trek: Picard Season 3.
The Universal Studios team constructed a whole Galaxy-class walkthrough for the Star Trek: Red Alert! experience at Fan Fest Nights, leading visitors through the Enterprise-D on display at the Starfleet Museum space station (just as the ship was left at the conclusion of Picard).
We captured the walkthrough experience on video for posterity, so those of you who didn’t get a chance to visit Los Angeles can see what fans experienced over the past four weekends.
The Enterprise cargo bay, sickbay, and engineering decks are complete recreations, of course, while the bridge is made of many parts of the original Picard filming set. The command chairs and stations, Conn and Ops chairs and stations, and aft bridge stations are all Picard originals, as are most of the surrounding walls.
To meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements, however, the grading on the side floor ramps were lowered — which meant a new replica tactical horseshow needed to be built to fit the new floor geometry. The handrails on the sides of the bridge, as well as in some of the corridors, are also ADA-required additions for this public exhibit.
Here are just a few of our photos from the Red Alert! experience:
You can see our complete photo collection from the Star Trek: Red Alert! experience in our Star Trek: Picard image gallery, where we’ve got over 100 shots from the Enterprise-D walkthrough.
A special thanks to reader Uli for sharing some additional imagery which captured a few things we missed in our in-person visit!
