Paramount Pictures engaged Hetzel Design to design a stand-alone attraction in Aqaba, Jordan, inside a luxury hilltop resort with strong entertainment component.

The attraction, featuring state of the art A/V technology, is entered through an immersive lobby, and surrounded by retail, bar, unique augmented reality restaurant, and boutique hotel, featuring just four state-of-art VIP suites. No effort was spared in the attempt to create the most impressive immersive environment and transport guests into the Star Trek universe.

While the Aqaba resort was never to see the light of day, the attraction concept and many design features from this project were adopted for subsequent Star Trek themed attractions planned for other locations. Coming soon to a theme park near you!
