Before it left Dorney, I thought it wasn't very good. It had way too many g's, and it felt uncomfortable. - Eli Katzman

Laser is a Schwarzkopf 'Doppel Loop' model that's pretty fast and packs quite a punch for a coaster that looks so unthreatening. The loops have some high Gs, and the helixes are taken at an incredible rate. The train flies right through the course, not letting up until it hits the brakes at the end. It's definately one of Schwarzkopf's finest, too bad it's being removed! At least it's (supposedly) going to the Euro funfair circuit to live on instead of the scrap yard. - Brian M

This ride hurts and the loops give you a headache. - Nick S

This ride is ok. It has a lot of power going through the loops but the helixs are painful. THe loading stinks, the lift hill takes forever and you have to carry all your stuff with you on the ride. Too bad its leaving dorney though. - jim boyadjis

This Ride Sucks! - James Kurek
