We first told you about your chance to visit the bridge of the Enterprise-D back in October, when Universal Studios announced a series of special events at the Universal Studios Hollywood theme park — and today we’ve got more details on how you can beam aboard the Galaxy-class starship!
Tickets for Universal Fan Fest Nights went on sale today, a four-weekend special event at Universal Studios Hollywood where visitors to the park can experience immersive, interactive exhibits from a number of popular franchises — including Star Trek, of course, represented by the actual screen-used Enterprise-D bridge set from Star Trek: Picard.
Star Trek: Red Alert! is the special Trek exhibit at the event, described as “an out-of-this world adventure aboard the legendary starship U.S.S. Enterprise-D as a mysterious entity wreaks havoc through the ship’s systems” and “a daring walkthrough experience featuring many familiar locations from the legendary franchise.”
Along with getting to visit the Enterprise-D bridge set, the event will also include exclusive Trek merchandise only available, and special Trek dining options at Quark’s Cafe.
Here’s the official description for Star Trek: Red Alert, which seems quite reminiscent of the old Star Trek: The Experience in Las Vegas.
Inspired by the Star Trek universe that has entertained millions of fans, this daring walk-through experience will boldly take guests on an immersive adventure aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D on a mission to prevent an interstellar threat.
Guests will find themselves transported to the year 2403, just as an otherworldly entity wreaks havoc on the ship. As the chaos ensues, guests will venture further into the Enterprise, navigating familiar Star Trek environments, from the ship’s engineering room to transporter pads, to the soul of the Starship Enterprise, the bridge — an original set piece featured in the third and final season of Star Trek: Picard — in a desperate quest to stop the perceived danger and restore peace aboard the ship.
Laden with special effects, audio-visual effects, multi-sensory activations and themed performers, this all-original experience will create an unforgettable, awe-inspiring moment that will elevate Star Trek fandom to new levels.
Along with Star Trek, the Universal Fan Fest Nights event will also bring visitors immersive experiences centered around Back to the Future, Dungeons & Dragons, One Piece, Jujtsu Kaisen, and expand the existing experiences at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and Super Nintendo World.
All experiences and activations will be included every event night for guests to enjoy when they attend Universal Fan Fest Nights; adding to the adventure, guests will be able to experience select theme park attractions open during the event, including “Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge,” “Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey,” “Flight of the Hippogriff™,” “Jurassic World—The Ride,” “Despicable Me Minion Mayhem,” “Revenge of the Mummy: The Ride” and “The Simpsons Ride.”
Universal Fan Fest Nights will be held the weekends of April 25, May 2, May 9, and May 16 at Universal Studios Hollywood. Tickets can be purchased now at the official website.
