Next Up…A Trip to the Ship

I have a list of arenas all over the country that people have recommended I visit. One such suggestion recently came from Clint Novak when he was a guest on my podcast and talked about the “flying saucer” spaceship structure inside the arena at LazerPort Fun Center in Pigeon Forge, TN. When I was deciding on a travel destination with a pocket of cool things to visit, this was part of what pushed me towards the Great Smoky Mountain region. I had to see this for myself!



I introduced myself to the general manager, Brock, who welcomed me to take pictures following my game of Lasertron, so I stood patiently in line (because this attraction was FULL of players wanting to play it and then get back in line to play it again!)



As I waited I took note of my surroundings.



I could tell even before entering the arena that LazerPort is a facility that is attentive to  details. How did I form that opinion? Well, right behind the laser tag check-in where they scan your game card is some stunning airbrushed artwork, including an image of a woman in space attire. But look at her closely…



That artwork has 3D decorative eyes and actual eyelashes glued to the wall! Now THAT is what I call attention to detail!


When the next game was called a completely full group (the second I observed at fullest capacity) was called into the vesting room to suit up and watch the briefing video.



Then I got my chance to explore this arena I had heard such good things about. Check it out!



This is a real statement structure!



There were lots of other cool artistic touches all throughout the arena.



And when the game was over I bought a T-shirt as a souvenir of my visit and took a pic by their selfie wall.



I left this facility admiring all the details and artistic flair that they had included in every aspect of the building.



…at least I thought I had seen it all. It wasn’t until I was back on the highway that I noticed I had entered from the side of their building, but had I observed the front I would have seen something amazing. There is a HUGE alien prop that appears to literally be jumping through the front of the building! I know Clint mentioned it, so how had I missed it (driving from the other side of the road)? Well, I did and since I was driving away I have no pics of my own, but this is one good reason to look them up online of see it for yourself if you are in the area to pay a visit to LazerPort Fun Center in Pigeon Forge. Enjoy the trip to the ship!
