The rollercoaster X at Thorpe Park England has been updated with the addition of lasers. Look here for more details.

My wife was there on Monday, funny she didn't mention a laser ride (might have been a sickie on Tuesday and a quick jaunt up the country otherwise!)

Very cool idea if they pull it off right...

Well, went today and must say they have not done a bad job. The pyramid the ride is in is well hazed and they have 3 or 4 RGB systems around the ride. Designed in conjunction with the Ministry Of Sound in London, so you can imagine the type of music playing.

Only complaint is that they appear to have removed some of the trains from the ride so the queue is quite long and goes a lot slower that the old days of the ride.

All in all though, well done and a nice laser fix as an added bonus to a day of roller coasters.
