Star Trek<\/em> fans showed up in costume at a Star Trek<\/em> convention last weekend to help break the world’s record for largest-ever gathering of people in Star Trek<\/em>-related costumes.<\/p>\n It was only two months ago in Las Vegas that fans gathered in costume and broke the last record, but it appears that the Destination Star Trek London<\/em> fans have surpassed that number.<\/p>\n Destination Star Trek London<\/em> has claimed that 1,083 fans dressed up at their event, which would beat the record set by the 1,040 Trek fans at a convention inVegas last August.<\/p>\n There were plenty of TNG costumes, but some fans made a special effort for the contest. Mark Whitfield<\/strong> came as a mugato from the original series’ A Private Little War<\/em>. “It looks silly; it’s just a gorilla suit painted white with horns on it,” he said, obviously regretting his choice of costume. “It’s very, very hot. In fact, I was on the verge of collapse when a very kind person gave me a bottle of water because I dehydrated quite badly.”<\/p>\n Dawn Harris<\/strong> gave the male fans a treat, appearing as an Orion slave girl, complete with green skin. “There just hasn\u2019t been a convention in the UK for so long,” she said. “So I think everyone wants to be involved in everything as much as they can. Everybody saw that guy jump out of a plane [Felix Baumgartner<\/strong>] in space so people are drawn to things like that.”<\/p>\n The record will first need to be confirmed by Guinness World Records before Destination Star Trek London<\/em> can claim the record for most Star Trek fans in costume in one place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Star Trek fans showed up in costume at a Star Trek convention last weekend to…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2416],"tags":[4931,4934],"class_list":["post-20801","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-fandom","tag-destination-star-trek-london","tag-guinness-book-of-world-records"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","newsphere-slider-full":"","newsphere-featured":"","newsphere-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"T'Bonz","author_link":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/author\/tbonz\/"},"category_info":"Fandom<\/a>","tag_info":"Fandom","comment_count":"6","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20801","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20801"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20801\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20807,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20801\/revisions\/20807"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20801"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20801"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20801"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
