Man-made 'Star Trek' Sets Become NY Tourist Magnet

by Associated Press

   TICONDEROGA, NEW YORK --

   Sets mimicking those of the 1960s TV series "Star Trek" have become a
   tourist attraction in upstate New York.
   They were lovingly built by fans in recent years for an internet film
   series produced in the town of Ticonderoga.
   Now that the series called "Star Trek: New Voyages" has run its course
   after 11 full-length episodes, the sets including Capt. Kirk's bridge
   and engine room are open to paying customers who just can't get enough
   of the 50-year-old franchise.

   The attraction was licensed by CBS Consumer Products and opened this
   month. Adult admission is $22.50.
