UPDATE!
AAAH DARN IT.
Looks like the May 8th opening was but a rumor.
I was sure hoping that it was true.
More Info...
It looks like it's going to be more TOS themed this time.
I'm going to miss the DS9 themed shops. Especially Quark's.

The Star Trek Experience is slated to open May 8, the same date as the movie’s premiere. The experience will be introduced in phases, with the simpler (and less costly) components, such as the food and beverage, retail and museum to be rolled out first. The entire experience, including rides and an IMAX 4D component should be completed by next year.
