When I introduced myself as a member from the Syracuse
site everyone went above and beyond to be helpful, give me a tour of the center
and be as accommodating as possible. The first person I met was Noah who was
kind enough to show me around and give me a peek at the Laserforce office. I
understand why photos were not permitted here, but it was quite a treat to see
the equipment in progress including stacks of vest moldings and this location
where it is manufactured in the states.
As you walk through the building there is a series of
movie theater-like posters on the walls promoting some of the different
Laserforce game choices.
I appreciate being able to take a couple of posters home
as souvenirs that will hang proudly alongside every one of my Laser Tag Day
posters in my studio.
And they hooked me up with a couple of other mementos
from the site.
Then I got a tour the arcade area including a chance to
try out one of their newest interactive games called RAID (Rapid Alien Invasion
Defense) which was a really fun game of reaction time as you had to touch
targets that would appear on various walls while stepping over moving laser
beams that were constantly changing position. Definitely a cool attraction!
But my main mission here was to play some laser tag, so I
was most excited sbout checking out the arena and getting into a game.
First stop was the briefing room to watch a briefing
video…
…before moving into the vesting chamber.
This was an impressive, 5700 square foot multi-level arena
with lots of extra features to keep a look out for. There were several bases
and beacons scattered throughout. I believe that all the bases were on the
lower level. Beacons were in some unexpected places and you definitely had to
keep your eyes open! The theme was a pharoah’s tomb with plenty of decorative
elements for interest, but the arena design itself was what I found most
memorable.
I know there were some interactive elements that we never
made proper use of during the game. One example was this portal which if your
team could take control of it by targeting the beacons would turn your color
and deactivate anyone who passed through it. Very cool to learn about as I have
never seen this in any other Laserforce arena I have played. As the home
location for the system I imagine they get the coolest new things first. :)
I played a couple of games including a standard round and
a game of Color Conquest (looking forward to the travel achievement from this
site).
This was one of my favorite stops in Colorado. Again, big
thanks to the entire staff for a really great experience playing one of my
favorite systems. And of course for the hospitality as a visiting member. I had
a really great time in Loveland!
