Apparently the king of Jordan enjoys Star Trek AND spending Money

Star Trek Theme Park

Finally there is going to be a desert location for environmentally friendly Trek fans to gather! No, really the king of Jordan has decided to build a $1.5 Billion Star Trek theme park. I don’t know how I’m only now hearing about this considering the story was printed a little over a week ago, but it sounds like this is for real. If only this were being built somewhere closer than the other side of the world it would sound like a great “on location” episode of Trektinis.
