CBS Puts Paramount Parks on the Block, Including STAR TREK: The Experience

Features

By Steve Krutzler / 00:06, 29 January 2006 / General Star Trek

CBS CEO Leslie Moonves has given notice that the new company plans to sell its Paramount Parks division, due to lack of synergy with CBS's other content-driven units. The unit generates $1.1 billion annually and accounts for 8% of CBS's current revenues.

According to CNN, parks included in the unit include Paramount's Kings Island in Cincinnati; Paramount's Great America in Santa Clara, Calif.; Paramount's Kings Dominion, in Richmond, Va.; Paramount Canada's Wonderland in Toronto; Paramount's Carowinds in Charlotte, N.C.; and the Star Trek: The Experience attraction at the Las Vegas Hilton.

No information is yet available about how the sale might affect the STAR TREK attraction in Las Vegas, which recently added BORG INVASION 4-D.

I would guess since Trek fandom is at an all time low and Paramount has run Trek into the ground that less people would be going to the Star Trek Experience. Paramount has squeezed the franchise dry so it is their own fault.
I went to the original S.T invasion about 8 years ago. A lot of fun. Unfortunately I have not seen the new Borg experience.
