After 10 years in operation, Star Trek The Experience at the Hilton Hotel in Las Vegas will close its doors in early September 2008.
Robert Picardo, who spent seven years as the holographic doctor on Star Trek Voyager and was part of the cast of the Borg Invasion 4-D attraction at The Experience, said he's not surprised by the news, but he'll still miss it.
"The hotel changed hands, and [the new owners] have been eyeing that large amount of retail space lustfully for some time," Picardo told a group of reporters including SyFy Portal during a press conference to promote the upcoming fifth season of "Stargate: Atlantis," where he takes a starring role.
"It breaks my heart a little bit to no longer be my own theme park ride. Once you have an action figure for years, there are only a few ways to go up, and being a theme park attraction is one of the only ones.
"Hopefully they'll have an 'Atlantis' theme park ride in the future," Picardo said jokingly.
More from Picardo on Stargate Atlantis can be found at SyFy Portal.
Thanks to Michael Hinman for the news.
