[FarStrider]

King Abdullah of Jordan, who was once an extra on Star Trek Voyager, is building a Star Trek theme park in his country. . .

Is it based on Star Trek, or Turkish Star Trek?

How long until radicals, I mean Romulans, attack?

Great Scotty YES

I hear David Rossi is consulting on this, I'm looking forward to hearing more!

Too bad Oprah's not a Trekker.

Jordan.

Seriously?

I'd go. :-)

I'd go. :-)

Me too!

A king spending all that money to build an amusement park, or using it to aid his country in areas of food, education, sanitation, etc.? I wonder what would be the better choice.

"Listen, folks. I love my subjects and all, but in all fairness, Star Trek was here first."

Jordan.

Seriously?

That is what I was thinking too.......

Jobs, tourists, more jobs, etc. Might be a step in the right direction, actually. Whoever heard of Anaheim, CA, pre-1955?

The target market for Disneyland was reasonably close to Anaheim (and Orlando, FL). I don't envision Jordan having a large population of Trekkies in neighboring nations vs ones that are thousands of miles away and probably not wild about the cost of flying halfway around the world just to go to a Star Trek theme park.

Giving an arab youth jobs at the moment is a good idea. Promoting tourism to Jordan is a good idea.

Jordan is a lot nearer to most of Europe than anywhere in the U.S.

 

[The Rock]

Is it true that King Abdullah of Jordan is scum? I heard from somewhere that this guy is a real piece of work.

 

[Biggshow]

Even given Wikipedia's sometimes unreliable status, it appears he's a good guy.

[Rocketeer]

This could be a good thing. Perhaps some of the youth would pick up on the IDIC principles.

If there's any kind of transporter room attraction, I will be there!

Jordan?!? Really? That's like going all the way to Las Vegas from Chicago! A dozen times! I really miss The Experience...
