Here's one from the vaults: In the early '90s, Universal Studios had the absolute genius idea to partner with Paramount Pictures to bring a green-screen experience to its Orlando, Florida theme park, in which Trekkies of all shapes and sizes could dress up, act out, and be inserted into a pre-filmed, Star Tours-esque episode of The Original Series.
The episode's plot: A group of dopey Starfleet "graduates" are inexplicably allowed to helm the entire starship Enterprise for a "training mission" that’s suddenly interrupted by a warbird full of (very poorly acted) Klingons; to end the confrontation, the "acting captain" just up and beams aboard the vessel with a photon detonator (a grenade, basically). Reliably, McCoy seems quite bored by the whole escapade.
The whole 10-minute experience was called "Star Trek Adventure," and judging by this VHS-tape video dug up by Reddit user ouaoausd – and another even better one, below, that user cirrus42 found to corroborate its existence – it was the best thing ever. Oh god, the mullets. And Gene Roddenberry's introduction. And Sulu and Uhura's impeccable side-eye. So. Good.
So, when is this coming back?
