Star Trek: The Experience closed on September 1, 2008. As reported by TrekMovie.com, a decline in admissions along with diminished talks between Cedar Fair and the Las Vegas Hilton brought about the closure. Little is known as to what will happen to the physical sets, however, props and other authentic memorabilia will be returned to CBS. According to a backstage tour guide, most of the physical sets will be destroyed after closure, due to the high cost of transporting them.
