RENEE MONTAGNE, host:
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne with news of particularly interest to Trekkies. A Star Trek theme park is in the works. It's being financed by a long time fan - the king of Jordan. Abdullah II is investing $1.5 million to beckon fellow Trekkies to a place where few have gone before - a town on the Red Sea. Yes, it's a new frontier for a king who's already been on board the Voyager during a cameo on the TV show in the '90s.
