The "Star Trek" attraction is being creatively developed by Paramount Recreation.

In Jordan...
Huh... is that the middle east? Is ST a bigger thing over there or something? I would figure Canada, USA, UK or some such area would be a more suitable location.

I guess I should keep my thoughts on this for myself. That would be wise. XD
Hey we have a Star Trek bar here in Berlin, named Quarx! Does that count? ^^

Well,maybe we can appreciate different sceneries
Jordan, eh?
Nah, I'm cool.
"I have only two out of my company and 20 out of some other company. We need support, but it is almost suicide to try to get it here as we are swept by machine gun fire and a constant barrage is on us. I have no one on my left and only a few on my right. I will hold." (First Lieutenant Clifton B. Cates, US Marine Corps, Soissons, 19 July 1918)
The King of Jordan played an extra on Star Trek: Voyager, he's a big Star Trek fan, hence why there's a theme park being build in Jordan.
Let's keep political and religous discussion out of the thread, thanks.

They make it sound great don't they? 184 acres of star trek, star trek, and nothing but star trek! But that's not true... From what I read it's got a star trek themed interactive exhibit and the rest is about middle eastern history.
Just like me, you guys are probably thinking , 'finally! middle east history and star trek together in one place!"
Or maybe not...

""Revolving around ancient history with Nabatean, Babylonian, British and Roman influences," the park is scheduled for opening in 2014, according to Jordan’s Rubicon Group Holding (RGH), which announced the plan."
