drewbari Posted February 22, 2004 Posted February 22, 2004 When did the Star Trek Characters first appear in the park. When did they last appear? Why did they get rid of them? The only place I saw them was Coney Mall. I thought they were cool! Quote

coasterbilly Posted February 22, 2004 Posted February 22, 2004 i haven't seen any Star Trek characters either, guess they took them away Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted February 22, 2004 Posted February 22, 2004 They got rid of most HB characters because the change in the generations caused most young guests to not be familiar with most HB characters. They got rid of the Star Trek characters because younger guests were scared of them. Conclusion: Blame the kids. Quote

SixFlagsNow Posted February 24, 2004 Posted February 24, 2004 The Star Trek charachters appeared the first year Paramount bought the parks (1993) as Paramount produced the Star Trek series. They were discontinued after i think two years. My guess is that they weren't that popluar and required a makeup artist to be on staff as opposed to just zipping people into the cartoon characters. Also, they were pretty scary looking. Quote
Here_is_Trouble! Posted February 24, 2004 Posted February 24, 2004 ok i was only2 when they came out... so i think i never saw them Quote
italianchef Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 I think that the Star Trek characters should be brought back. If the Klingons scared the kids, just used regular people in Star Fleet uniforms.........or have some wear pointy ears to look Vulcan. That's my opinion. After all, PKI is a PARAMOUNT park.

DragonLord Posted February 28, 2004 Posted February 28, 2004 Betazid wedding! That would be great... any one willing to do that? Of course, it might be possible, up in IR with all the windows blacked out or something. lol I miss the Star Trek people! I really, really wanted to be a ST character when I was young, it didn't matter which ones! There were normal humans, Klingons, Vulcans and Ferangi. I wasn't scared of any of them! They used to hang out in Festhaus a lot, probably b/c in the back is where they changed. It was great! ST the expereience in Vegas is coming out with a new ride: Borg 4D! Sounds like it would be something cool to have for the FX Theater! Quote
italianchef Posted February 29, 2004 Posted February 29, 2004 That's great that Vegas will have an expanded Star Trek presence. But since I'm stuck in Greater Cincinnati due to the HAPPY augmentation of my family size.........I wish that PKI would offer some Star Trek here. Live long and prosper, Captain Italian Chef Quote
