Wow. Cool and all, but Jordan is certainly not on the short list of places where I'd expect a Star Trek theme park to be.

America would be top of my shortlist. The king of jordan was actually an extra in one Voyager epsode.

Seems like the King is a big fan, so he's dropped 1.5 billion into doing it.

It's good to be the king, I guess.

What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Give him time...

And yeah, I doubt I'd ever be able to go to this, as much as it'd probably be awesome too.

If you were a fan of Star Trek what would you do if you had billions of dollars/yen/pounds/funny money?

First, pay off the house, car, etc.; drop 100k in the kids' 530 plans; then buy a new place in Monmouth Beach and a new A-M DB9 Volante.

I still want someone to build a full size Enterprise. :lol:

A is probably doable, tho obviously costly, although I'd rather it be E, as its my favourite. D and the 2009 Enterprise are obviously way too massive. Waste of good steel.

Voyager would be easier as it has landing struts.

Not really, that would mean the entire structure would be supported on what are effectively stilts. The easiest would be something that's pretty much flat bottomed, or wouldn't matter much if you made it to be. The easiest would probably be the defiant or the NX.
