Anton Schwarzkopf is one of the few people (Werner Stengel, John Miller, Harry Traver, Herb Schmeck) who could pull off a ride this intense in such a small footprint. Sure, this is a stock ride that can be found all over Europe and some in the U.S, but the Positive G's are unrelenting.

This coaster is great. The intensity is awesome. When you first look at laser it looks very unintimidating, but riding it is a completely different story. I completely agree with you bryan.

A pretty good Anton compact. Not as good as Texas Tornado or Mind Bender, but this baby still packs a punch. 4/5

A brown-out everytime. Although it is too short, the loops are worth a spin.

Slowest lifthill EVER!.... I got stuck on the ride in the blocks where the "bridge" is.. and they told us how to unlock our lapbars from ON the ride.. so we could have a bit of room.. then after sitting for some time they got some park worker to PUSH the train back to the station.. (I have 'pov' of it..)

Yea the lift is really slow on Laser. I've never seen a train get stuck in the brakes on Laser. I have seen a train stuck on a block midway through the ride on Sooperdooperlooper at Hershey though.

I think Laser is a great ride. It is compact, intense, and a lot of fun. I've yet to be lucky enough to get a front row ride with the seating system the way it is.

This is a fun little coaster. I hope the rumors of its demise are not true. It is a very intense ride.
