Photo gallery, video interview and a press conference with William Shatner plus take a sneak peek at Wil Wheaton and Tim Russ aboard the bridge of U.S.S Titan!
Late last week the IESB was invited to go to Long Beach to take an early look at the Star Trek Tour and also attend the Opening Night Gala.
The "Media Sneak Peek" started with a press conference with Bill Shatner right before we were given a walk-through of the exhibit. You can watch the entire press conference by clicking on the video thumbnail below.

The Star Trek Tour is a must see for all Trek and Sci-Fi fans, it won't disappoint. All Trek incarnations are featured in the tour and it also has some really cool simulator rides. The folks behind the show were able to get Tim Russ and Wil Wheaton to once again put on the their Starfleet uniforms and come aboard the USS Titan for one of the featured simulator/exhibits.
The IESB was allowed to videotape the exhibit and you can take a look at Wil and Tim's performance aboard the Titan by clicking on the video thumbnail below.

The biggest highlight of the day was being able to go aboard the bridge of the original Enterprise and having William Shatner sit in the Captains chair. The Shat once again started talking to the press and posing for the photographers.
Our very own Silas Lesnick managed to talk to Bill for a few brief questions, *note* we did not ask him about the Abrams Trek movie since he addressed the issue of not being asked to be part of the film during the press conference earlier in the day. You can check out the IESB's brief interview by clicking on the thumbnail below.
