    Star Trek Tour on Oct 22nd - Special Event

    The sets James Cawley uses to film his fan productions: Star Trek Phase II and The Continuing Voyages is open to tours in Ticonderoga NY. On Oct 22nd the tour will be conducted by Doug Drexler who is a Hollywood SPFX guy who has worked on many of the Star Trek TV shows from the 1980's onwards. He re-constructed the classic Star Trek sets a couple of times for the episodes Trials and Tribble-ations and In A Mirror Darkly.

    There is also a deluxe package where a dinner and a special videos screening will be held in the evening also hosted by Mr. Drexler. There's nearly a month to plan for this event. You need only be able to get to Ticonderoga, NY and tickets are still available.

    Anyone from the NYC/NJ/CT area who might like to get a group together and make the trip can also contact me. I'm traveling from the Queens - NYC area. Send me a message if you want to split gas and tolls. We could go together.

    See the link for details on the tour and get tickets:



    Mr. Drexler was the proprietor of the Star Trek Trading Post in Manhattan, NY & Co-publisher of the Star Trek poster magazine in the 1970's. He went on to a make-up career winning an Academy Award for the film Dick Tracy. He then went on to work for Star Trek - The Next Generation, DS9, Voyager and Enterprise. He also worked on the "re-imagined" Battlestar Galactica.

    So, how long till this is shut down, he's profiting off of Paramount's property.

        It is officially licensed and while it was supposed to close the end of October for the winter I think it going to be open longer now, not sure. I talked with Cawley while I was there and they having a grand opening next May and are in talks with Shatner to be there.

          I can't wait to go. I think about this every day because I've talked with Mr. Drexler on FB a few times and he comes from the same part of NY I grew up in. ALso can't wait to see the bonus video during the banquette.

              Tickets still remain for the Tour + banquet and general day Tours conducted by Mr. Drexler. Here's a review that gives you a bit of an idea:
