Design and build a vacation spot around Star Trek where you could tour Star Fleet HQ and interact with different species then board a shuttlecraft that takes you to replica Star Ships like all permeations of the Enterprise and Voyager (of course temporarily grounded for maintenance) Then you could stay the week in an Enterprise or Voyager State Room, enjoy drinks or dining in 10 forward, crawl through Jefferies tubes. Ride the Turbo Lift to tour Engineering, the Shuttle Bay, or the Bridge. They could even simulate, through the use of monitors placed over viewports and the main view screen, a launch into space with trips to local planets. Say a real time Warp 7 trip to Mars and Jupiter and Saturn.

Anything necronomical?

<<The Necronomicon is a fictional grimoire appearing in the stories by horror writer H. P. Lovecraft and his followers. It was first mentioned in Lovecraft's 1924 short story "The Hound", written in 1922, though its purported author, the "Mad Arab" Abdul Alhazred, had been quoted a year earlier in Lovecraft's "The Nameless City". Among other things, the work contains an account of the Old Ones, their history, and the means for summoning them.

In 1973, Owlswick Press issued an edition of the Necronomicon written in an indecipherable, apparently fictional language known as "Duriac". This was a limited edition of 348. The book contains a brief introduction by L. Sprague de Camp.

A hoax version of the Necronomicon, edited by George Hay, appeared in 1978 and included an introduction by the paranormal researcher and writer Colin Wilson. David Langford described how the book was prepared from a computer analysis of a discovered "cipher text" by Dr. John Dee. Wilson also wrote a story, "The Return of the Lloigor", in which the Voynich manuscript turns out to be a copy of the Necronomicon.>>
