[Guardian] The Lasershow Spectacular (™) is a celebration of brand America. Its huge 3D video projection ("taller than the Statue of Liberty!") pulls out all the stops ‐ depicting patriotic icons from bald eagles to Mickey Mouse to towering letters spelling U-S-A, with lots of fiery explosions and a rousing musical score with at least eight separate key changes. The official website boasts that "the Lasershow is now so spectacular, the FAA must be consulted to ensure airplanes don’t become blinded by lasers."
Families visiting the park, which is Georgia’s most popular tourist attraction, come here to picnic on the grand lawn and gaze up at the show, which is projected directly on to Stone Mountain’s Confederate monument. The show ends with the three sculptures of the Confederate leaders ‐ Generals Robert E Lee, Stonewall Jackson and Confederate president Jefferson Davis ‐ coming to life and "riding off" into the evening sky. |
