'Star Trek' attraction still on track

An effort to bring the "Star Trek: The Experience" attraction to the 250,000-square-foot mall called Neonopolis is still on track despite the economic downturn.

The attraction had been slated to coincide with the May 8 premiere of the "Star Trek" movie but it was called off.

Neonopolis owner's representative Rohit Joshi says he's been working with several consultants to design the attraction. It could include more than one ride, a restaurant and bar and a Star Trek museum.

Joshi won't give a possible opening date for the attraction in downtown Las Vegas. He says it's vital all details of the attraction be as faithful as possible to Star Trek history and lore.

An official with CBS Television Distribution in Los Angeles says the Neonopolis project is still in development and that CBS licensed the rights to the attraction to Joshi's group।
