I recently played laser tag for the first time in years in nashville, tn the other week, and I forgot how bad ass it was.

I looked around raleigh, and I was very disappointed to learn battlezone up on creedmoor closed a couple of years back, and now there is only adventure landing and frankies fun park. So first off, has anyone played at frankies, is it any good?

now, i looked at the nearest places that have actual large arenas and there are laser quests in charlotte and in richmond. Would anyone be interested in forming a team at one of these places that if were good enough would compete nationally? If so I would totally be down.

I'm down for forming a team, but fuck driving to Charlotte for laser tag.

The early 90s called...

i used to have one of those laser tag sets when i was a kid.

a few years ago, when we had that huge ice storm in raleigh, one of my friends bought one of those laser-tag kits and we went around campus shooting each other and busting out ass.

one of my friends almost got crushed by a falling tree branch 5 seconds after saying "if you hear a tree making noises, get your ass out of the way".

I was a part of the 1997 east coast champion team of Laser Storm, but I doubt I'd be willing to drive anywhere to play.

WHO SAID MY RUCKUS THING WAS GAY?

yea it was the laser quest on 2nd avenue.

and yes ncsuapex, i know its from the 90s, but I miss it so

and yea, i was talking about driving, i figured it was a stretch, but an ncsu team dominating the country in something would be pretty sweet

frankies is decent.

2/23/2009 8:55:31 PM

legendary

ultrazone in richmond was the stuff dreams are made of

There's a place here in Fayetteville that's pretty awesome. 2 Levels, ~3000 ft^2 or something. I think it's ~$4.50/round if you get the 4 pack too. The only thing is that teams of marines will come in and own everyone.

Oh, and they have movable terrain. It's fun to have someone get a foam column and run interference for you.

god I used to love laser tag back in middle school... But I like paintball more, specially in urban combat situations like some venues up north. There's this cool place in Toronto that plays on an abandon airport and have some odd 31 buildings for their courses. Just massive amount of carnage ensues there.
