I was watching a show on the latest coasters.&nbsp; They showed how X was turned into X2.&nbsp; The new X2 video that riders watch while in line got me thinking of the Borg.&nbsp; What would a ride with the Borg be like?&nbsp; Note: These days, such rides might not be coasters. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <hr style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em" />Will Pittenger<hr style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em" />Add this user box to your Wikipedia User Page to show your support for the SDC forums: <div style="margin-left:1em">{{User:Will Pittenger/User Boxes/Space.com Account}}</div> </div>

<p>Lesse...to capture the "true" Borg experience...</p><p>You would enter a room, and the door would slam.&nbsp; You would be suddenly mobbed by many Borg, who would jab you with pointy things all over.&nbsp; Then you would lose control of your consciousness as billions of voices begin to speak inside of your head.&nbsp; You are now a minion of the Collective, and will seek out and assimilate all not-Borg, until some Federation Red Shirt fries your arse with a Phaser set to "fold, spindle, and mutilate." </p><p>Pretty nifty.&nbsp; I think I'll be out of the state the day <em>that</em> ride arrives in town!&nbsp; :) </p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Differential Diagnosis:  </em>"<strong><em>I am both amused and annoyed that you think I should be less stubborn than you are</em></strong>."<br /> </p> </div>
