The ‘Star Trek’ Anniversary Float Will Put Its Most Beloved Location on Parade

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-10-12 23:05:00

Your eyes do not deceive you: those are indeed the iconic Vasquez Rocks taking their place on the Star Trek float rendering ahead of its debut at the Rose Parade on New Year’s Day. Squint and use your imagination, and you can almost spot Captain Kirk battling the Gorn alongside them. The rock formations—which couldn’t look more alien, despite being located in Los Angeles—have been used for multiple Hollywood productions over the years, but their association with Star Trek is the most immediate.

In that episode, we introduced a technique to pre-warm Workers during the TLS handshake of their first request.
