Star Trek Adventure / Universal Studios Hollywood 1992

PROD# 1128-6 - Hollywood CA Star Trek Adventure was the title given to the two Universal Studios produced, largely overlapping, Star Trek-themed live-action performance attractions, at its two Universal Studios Tour theme-park premises, located in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California from 1988 until 1994 and in Orlando, Florida from 1991 until 1996, fully licensed by Paramount Pictures. The US$7 million live-action performance attraction was formally announced to the general public on 8 April 1988 with the release of a press kit presented to the media. The eight-page kit contained an two-page studio introduction, a four-page "United Federation of Planets Directive" written from an in-universe perspective, presenting a format for a contest broadcasters could employ to give away admission tickets for the attraction from 1 July onward, and a two-page contest comic book format for the press media. [1] The Los Angeles venue opened on 9 June 1988 with Gene Roddenberry and the cast (excepting Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner) in attendance. In the performance, ten volunteers from the audience were dressed in Starfleet uniforms, placed on sets and coached to deliver scripted dialogue for several Star Trek scenes with Captain Kirk, Spock, Doctor McCoy, and Montgomery Scott. Four audience members competed for the role of the Klingon captain in a growl-off, with the runners up playing his crew members. A very young audience member became a "dragonhound" (as coined in the end credit roll), based on Kruge's Klingon reptilian dog seen in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. Other audience members played the alien Preceptors, who were testing both crews via mind control. The scenes were recorded on video, inter-cut with stock footage from the movies, edited into a eight-minute short film, and shown to the audience in the newly built, 1200 seat Panasonic Theater. The "actors" had the opportunity to purchase a VHS copy of their video after the show for US$29.95 (plus tax). The attraction had the capacity to do ten performances a day, each taking up approximately thirty minutes in total. Sets that were (partially) recreated in the Panasonic Theater included a bridge of the Klingon Bird-of-Prey, a transporter room, a nondescript landscape, main engineering and the bridge of the refit-USS Enterprise. The latter in particular warranted attention, as it was one of the very few times that a refit-Enterprise bridge recreation has seen the light of day, as it has been the original Enterprise bridge, considered the quintessential Star Trek set by many in the Star Trek community, which was the one that has been recreated numerous times for these kind of occasions. Production companies who have worked on the attraction included, MCA/Universal Recreation Services, Task Research, McFadden Systems, and Smith Bruni Design. The Enterprise model in newly shot scenes for the Adventure video The video featured additional visual effects sequences of the Klingon Bird-of-Prey and the refit-Enterprise which was not covered by stock footage from Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. These effects, deemed necessary to cover the story-line of the video (specifically, for the scenes where the two vessels encounter the "fantastic space creatures", as specified in the brochure quoted below), were separately shot at Universal Studios. To this end, the actual production studio models of the two vessels were sent over to Universal for filming. However, the Enterprise model was endowed with a high-gloss paint-scheme, which had previously already bedeviled Industrial Light & Magic when shooting the model for the movie features (see: main article for particulars). In order to work around the problem, the effects crew at Universal performed an act of vandalism on the US$150,000 model as a dismayed Bran Ferren of Associates and Ferren discovered when the model was sent to him for the effects of Star Trek V: The Final Frontier less than a year later, "One entire side of the Enterprise model was sprayed matte gray, destroying the meticulous original paint job. We had to go in and fix it before we could shoot it, which took two painters and an assistant about six weeks to do." Painstakingly refurbished, it did put unexpected additional strain on both time-schedule and production budget of an already strained production. (American Cinematographer, July 1989, p. 83) Save for a voice-over by William Shatner, no additional scenes with the Original Series cast needed to be recorded or filmed, all of these being stock footage from the features.
