If you live in Germany, here is something to check out at Movie Park: Star Trek: Operation Enterprise Roller Coaster!

Here’s how Movie Park Germany describes the ride:

Speed is of the essence. There’s no time to think. Every maneuver has to be perfectly executed. There’s only one attempt. Starfleet's enemy the Borg have the U.S.S. Enterprise locked in their tractor beam. The ship and its crew have been captured. The bridge of the Enterprise is deserted. The only hope of rescue is to send Starfleet cadets on a bold rescue mission.

This rescue mission isn’t going to be easy. The Borg ship’s deflector shields will have to be breached so that its main systems can be destroyed. It’s the only way to save the crew of the Enterprise. Despite an incredible adrenalin rush, the cadets have to fully focus on the task at hand. That’s the new mission in deep space for Movie Park Germany’s guests.

I wonder if before you get on you have to sit around a conference table and discuss the mission. OK. Snarky. I apologize.

Looks like a neat coaster, but it takes a lot of imagination to buy the premise. A rather stark, bare bones ride.

There was a Borg-themed roller coaster at Kings Dominion outside of Richmond, VA a long time ago (around the time of GEN, to be exact). The coaster's still there, but it was re-themed after Paramount sold its amusement parks years back.
 
yep, that's the problem about these theme rides. They are just normal rides with a nice but exchangable background. That doesn't exactly make them very exciting for people. This one might be a success during a big Trek con if it happens to be in the same town, but otherwise it'll quite likely be a flop.
Nevertheless, thanks, TrekMD, for bringing it to our notice.
