StarGate
Full build details can be found at the following [link](https://www.instructables.com/Animatronic-Stargate-helmet/). This will probably be a weekly spotlight for DIY creators with full instructions. If there is someone you want to nominate for next week, just leave a link below in the comments.
Really decently made by [Power543 fan films](https://www.youtube.com/@SGUDistantHope). I'm not sure how I feel about ret-conning footage putting the character in but I suppose with such a limited cast like Universe you would have to insert someone. There's talk of a [Star Trek/Stargate](https://youtu.be/TInEYG1fnK8) crossover (another fan made film in the link) that they're developing, hopefully it comes to existence.

This was another DIY project I ran across that looks a little less intimidating than [Kristian Tysse's](https://thestargateproject.com/) Stargate Project. The link has full build instructions, how to order parts, and 3d models for completion. If you're looking at getting into diy electronics and love stargate this could be a cool project for yourself or a loved one! (I think I'm getting ready to gear up for something like this) [Youtube clip of the project.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8rE4XJU4TM)
I'm not sure how I first ran into it but it seems there are a lot of paintball places that embrace the Stargate franchise! There is a permanent zone for our UK family, [Paintball UK - Stargate Zone](https://www.paintball.co.uk/game-zones/stargate/) Another mention that has unfortunately passed, The Swamp Fun Park had a stargate themed event "[STARGATE: THE NID PROBLEM CONTINUES](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/stargate-the-nid-problem-continuespaintball-only-event-tickets-639536349437)". Found a [vid](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Oj8PgE75Z0) from someone participating, really wish they recorded the scenario briefing and the lore behind what they were doing though. If you're into both of these aspects, definitely look around because I've found a lot of different ones that have expired but seems to be a reoccurring theme people like to use.
If you don't have the original movie on hand to sync play, you can find it streaming for free on the following platforms: [Pluto TV - Stargate](https://pluto.tv/us/on-demand/movies/5ca2afdf2ecfdaae49357414) [Roku Channel - Stargate](https://therokuchannel.roku.com/watch/8323dc5efcbb502ca70cd57b61f915f8) [Tubi TV - Stargate](https://tubitv.com/movies/475643/stargate) I'm unsure if all of the links will work for our international friends, if you have a similar link then please share in the comments below. For those more comfortable with sea faring, I use the following link from our lemmy neighbors over at !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com [Instruction landing page for those learning the seas](https://rentry.co/megathread) [Direct link to sites](https://rentry.co/megathread-movies-and-tv#streaming) (I like fmovies personally but the 321movies/123movies has more clone sites that usually get taken down less)
Crazy different feel to this with the up-scaling done. For me, it makes you feel like you're on the set with them. Unfortunately, it makes you feel like you're on a set lol. [part 2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYpyV0nrBhY)
I don't know about you guys but the behind the scenes videos are what get me really interested again and let me enjoy subsequent rewatches even more.
This is the official ride video that was thankfully saved. If anyone has VR and has watched it like that let me know how it went! From [Stargate fandom wiki](https://stargate.fandom.com/wiki/Stargate_SG-3000) > - a simulator thrill ride based around the highly successful MGM television series Stargate SG-1 that made its debut at The Space Center in Bremen and Germany in December, 2003. A reproduction has now been built at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom, Six Flags Great America and Six Flags Marine World (which is now Six Flags Discovery Kingdom). As of 2006, Six Flags Great America no longer shows Stargate SG-3000. > - 3000 years after the events of Stargate SG-1, the Stargate Network has long since been shut down by the Asgard. However, the network now becomes active again and the stored consciousness of General George S. Hammond reactivates to guide new SG team members through the gate to stop Satra, the daughter of Apophis who wishes to get revenge for the death of her father. It's... interesting what they were trying to do with the IP. Apparently in 2021 the simulator was [purchased](https://darkridedatabase.com/rides/stargate-sg-3000/) by Hennie van der Most to be installed at Attractiepark Rotterdam (hard to follow the trail after that without translations but doubt they have the rights to show the old ride). Some other interesting things to note: From [CoasterBuzz](https://coasterbuzz.com/Forums/Topic/mgm-and-six-flags-launching-stargate-themed-interactive-rides) (2004) > MGM's syndicated Stargate SG-1 television show will be the basis for a simulator film showing at three Six Flags parks this year, including Marine World, Kentucky Kingdom and Great America. Stargate SG 3000 features a four-minute simulation film that lets audiences experience what happens when they soar through the Stargate into different dimensions. The 20-minute overall guest experience includes a themed queuing area, the mission briefing/pre-show and the motion simulator theater.

The original [Trailer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkqFHOifJXQ) for the ride - Also hoping to find the original pre-show and more information on the rides setup, no hits so far though.
Over the years I've been surprised by the number of mods created by fans of the show while waiting for an official IP game (Timekeepers does exist now, but is a very niche game). I thought this would be a good place to highlight some of those and will probably turn it into a side-bar spoiler. What are some of your favorite mods you've ran across? I will populate and edit a list with the responses. If you wish to rate or describe the mod I will include that and your username as well. Links will be helpful but not necessary. ::: spoiler Minecraft Modrinth Modpack - [Stargate Eternity 7: Galaxy](https://modrinth.com/modpack/sge-galaxy) [Curseforge Mod List](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/search?page=1&pageSize=20&sortBy=relevancy&search=stargate) - Too many to individually list, link takes you to the search page ::: ::: spoiler Stellaris [Stargate Universe Reborn](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2452362450) - Full conversion mod.

This was an hour long special released on Sci-fi on January 17th, 2005. Some hilarious interactions including reading online questions posed by viewers and a special Pierre Bernard and Micheal Shank interview!
Just love everything about this segment and a truly awesome look behind the scenes.
Thought I would bust this out for those who haven't seen it before, two of my favorite shows in one! (I do not endorse the comments made by Pierre lol)
Ran into this recently and was really impressed. The Stargate Project ([website](https://thestargateproject.com/)) is by Kristian Tysse ([youtube](https://www.youtube.com/@thestargateproject)).
