From the Star Trek Adventure at Universal Studios to The Star Trek Experience in Las Vegas, the franchise has a long and fascinating history with theme parks. This week, Mike, Damian, and Lanita explore that legacy and chat with Matthew Jennings from Star Trek: Red Alert at Universal Studios Hollywood’s Fan Fest Nights. Matthew shares what it’s like to bring Trek to life for fans in person—and how Starfleet found its place among the thrill rides.
