I indeed mean the one in Asbury Park; it's a fine location. I haven't made it to Las Vegas for anything, really, although knowing now there's a Pinball Hall of Fame there I'm interested in that attraction.
There was a Star Trek pinball game, based on the original series, released in 1991. I think I only ever saw it a handful of times and had few games on it, but remember my impression as being disappointed. Data East tended to produce disappointing games. The Internet Pinball Database lists it as a 1991 game, which would fit the 25th year nicely. (http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=2356) There was also a 1978-issue electromechanical Star Trek (http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=2355) which I've never seen in person, and the curious 1976 Star Ship, featuring the Good Times Video ripoff of the Enterprise, (http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=3498) again one I haven't seen.
Of course the gold standard is the Next Generation pinball, (http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=2357) one of the all-time great solid-state games, and that's in an era which included The Addams Family, Terminator 2, Twilight Zone, FunHouse, and Road Show.
