Fan-made Star Trek sets become tourist attraction

By Associated Press in Ticonderoga, New York | China Daily | Updated: 2016-08-26 08:37

On its many voyages through space, the Starship Enterprise has endured bridge-shaking blasts from enemy ships and infiltration by scheming aliens. Now it's being invaded by tourists.

Sets mimicking those of the 1960s TV series Star Trek - including Capt. Kirk's bridge, sick bay and engine room - were built by fans for an internet film series produced in this Adirondacks mountain town and are now open to paying customers who just can't get enough of the 50-year-old franchise.

"The entire set ... how close it is to the actual TV show, you feel like you're really there," said 16-year-old Tiffany Schubert of Peru, New York. "It makes you just want to be in the show and have the same experience - being attacked by aliens, as bad as that is.'"
