Are any of you going?

QUOTE
Veteran Star Trek designers and historians Mike and Denise Okuda have been working with Premiere Exhibitions on Star Trek The Exhibition, helping put together the collections as well as the descriptions. Speaking to TrekMovie, Mike Okuda broke down what visitors can expect to see at the engagement in Detroit:

A detailed recreation of the Original Series USS Enterprise bridge (where you can get your photo taken superimposed with images of the TOS cast) [chair and nav console are screen-used from one of the DS9 or TNG episodes that showed the TOS era bridge]

Recreations of sets from Next Generation, including Captain Picard’s quarters and command chair, and Transporter room (another photo opportunity)

Recreation of The Guardian of Forever

Motion simulator rides, featuring a new movie with the voice of Michael Dorn (Worf)

Ten genuine filming miniature models including a 10-foot long Enterprise D, a TMP travel pod and a TNG Klingon attack cruiser

Over a dozen genuine costumes, including hero costumes from all five Trek captains (Kirk, Picard, Sisko, Janeway, and Archer), along with more TOS consumes from the 60s, a 7 of 9 catsuit and more

A large collection of genuine screen used props, including a photon torpedo

Genuine Trek set pieces, including a Klingon command chair and a USS Enterprise D Captain’s chair

But wait, there’s more
The Detroit Science Center is doing more than just adding the Exhibit, they are creating a number of other activities within and around the exhibit to enhance the experience.

Star Trek Costumed staff
In order to create the most Trek-ified atmosphere, the Science Center has purchased a number of Star Trek uniforms to be worn by their staff working around The Exhibition. In addition, they have arranged to have a number of volunteers from local Star Trek clubs, especially the USS Intrepid from Dearborn, MI. Staff and volunteers will be dressed in Starfleet (both humans and Vulcans), Klingons and additional aliens.

Treknology education
There will also be regular educational activities around the museum (check the schedule), where science educators will highlight various ‘Treknologies’ and explain how some are coming to be (like cell phones and tricorders) and they will also explore how some are still to be discovered (like transporters and warp drive.

Star Trek Planetarium show - ‘An Enterprising Journey’
The Science Center has created a new Star Trek-themed planetarium show called ‘An Enterprising Journey.’ The show will highlight real life destinations visited in Star Trek, including stars, nebulae and black holes, such as the galactic core (visited in Star Trek V), Wolf 359 (from "Best of Both Worlds"), many others.

Star Trek Weddings
The Science Center will also be renting out The Exhibit for weddings and receptions, so if you want to get married on the bridge of the Enterprise, this is your chance.

If the star trek convention was in my back yard I would tell them to get off my lawn.

Maybe the White Sox are in town though
