We knew that you were experiencing high degrees of irritability, some serious discontent, and even periods of genuine lonely isolation at being deprived of the real news and updates from the ZONE. Well, your problems are solved, not all of your problems of course; in fact compared to the rest of the problems you may have, solving these few could seem rather insignificant. Nevertheless, below you will find an ever-changing selection of tasty morsels to keep you informed of the events, both real and imagined, occurring at ULTRAZONE San Diego.
Should you have any newsworthy or otherwise interesting tidbits that you yearn to have included, just e-mail us and we will review them for content, originality, humor, whether we like you, how much money you've spent at the site, your personal grooming habits, how many nice things you've said to us at the front counter, and lots of other basically irrelevant guidelines.
Early Closing Notice- Monday, March 15th
On Monday, March 15th we will close early at 8:00pm due to a private Own The ZONE Event.
Midweek Spring Break Hours- Monday, March 29th through Friday, April 2nd WE OPEN AT NOON (All other hours of operation remain unchanged)
Well, its bunny time again, so you can come down and get in some early midweek games for five wonderful days. Sorry due a very self-serving decision on our part, the “Midweek Birthday Party Package Bonus” deal does not apply for this or for that matter any other school vacation periods!
DOUBLE One Hour Endurance Night Set For Sunday Night, March 28th
Game #1- Sunday Night, March 28th at 10:00 pm
Game #2- Sunday Night, March 28th at 11:00pm
Yes, your favorite ZONE special game is set at DOUBLE THE INTENSITY the night before Spring Break begins. Think of it, 2 separate Endurance Games- 2 chances to play 60 solid minutes of laser tag at ULTRAZONE for only $15.00 per game (we know this is probably too cheap, but go ahead and take advantage of us). Our Endurance games always sell out, so we’ve gone completely outrageous and scheduled two in the same night. Some players are ready to sign up for both games- incredible. Hey, maybe we’ll even give you a little chance to rest in between the two games- you never know. Make certain you arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled start time.

Wow- we took down the big guys in this year’s “Best of Diego” poll. That’s right a huge surge of voter support saw us dominate The San Diego Zoo, Sea World, Wild Animal Park, and Legoland. Support from current and former players and families pushed us to the top spot. Thank you to all those who cared enough to vote early and often.
Levi Makes Debut As Youngest Employee
In our continued policy to make unrelenting and exhaustive efforts to find qualified applicants and train them to fill the cherished position of Game Master at ULTRAZONE, this summer found “Little Levi” catapulting himself to the top tier of new employees. Always smiling in his efforts to exemplify great customer service, he brings an up tempo, carefree feel to the lobby. Of course his limited vocabulary does find him struggling with briefings and he often requires mid-shift naps, his overall good humor and solid work ethic make think that he was really born to work at ULTRAZONE.
New "Dodge This" T- Shirt Arrives
Wow, if were getting ready to upgrade that summer wardrobe, we have your most important purchase ready to go. Just arrived, perhaps the best T-shirt we’ve ever had. For only $10.00 you’ll be stylin’ in an outrageous laser tag T-shirt that features our new logo on the front and wild laser firing at a pack on the back.
Book a Private “Own the Zone” Event
Here’s a thought- organize your own private Own the ZONE Event. Get some friends together and rent ULTRAZONE by the hour. You get to choose ANY GAME FORMAT YOU WANT! Many groups have chosen to have their own One Hour Endurance, while others chose to play 3 shorter games, Eliminator, Stratego, Clone Wars, etc. for a real taste of our INFUSION game formats. The best rate would be right after we close at 10:00pm on Sunday through Thursday. Call us and ask for a manager to get the full details 619/221-0100 or email us at lasertag@ultrazonesandiego.com

ULTRAZONE Now a “Gum Free” ZONE
Well after almost eleven years of removing more gum from the lobby and briefing room carpet than you could even possibly imagine (we’re talking many hundreds of ugly carpet gum messes each year), we’ve decided that WE’RE DONE WITH GUM. That’s right you and your gum will have to part company BEFORE you enter ULTRAZONE. There’s a really nice, large cement trash receptacle near the front door, so just gear yourself up to spit that bad boy into the can.
Of course we’re never really been able to understand why anyone would spit their gum onto the carpet anyway, but we do have a few theories
The “Chewing Gum Challenged” Theory. In their early development, these poor folk never learned to keep items in their mouth while chewing, certainly a true tragedy. Consequently, gum and other foodstuffs just fly out of their mouths depositing on other people or objects or ultimately the floor. It is unknown whether this malady is a problem with poor childrearing or a genetic anomaly.
The “Hostile Gum Chewer-It Sucks To Be You” Theory. Now these are the more aggressive and angry gum chewers. They get great pleasure thinking about the ULTRAZONE staff that clean up their gum. They find the best location they can, and then they spit their gum onto the designated carpet target area and then immediately press the gum into the carpet with their foot. Obviously from abusive gum chewing households, they continue the abusive pattern into public places.
The “Duh, What Happened to My Gum” Theory. Perhaps the most heart rendering theory, these unfortunate chewers have no memory of what happened to their gum- sort of a brain-mouth disconnect if you will. They are shocked to find that they are no longer chewing the gum that was at a prior moment in fact in their mouths. They simply no longer have a lucid connection to the gum chewing moment. This is a form of amnesia caused by a trauma to the head or by just being a moron
The “Heathen/Raised by Wolves” Theory- A product of a culture very foreign from one we typically see in normal society, this gum chewer can be recognized by a pattern of abnormal gum chewing. These sub-humans chew with mouths open and are known to “crack” their gum and then just spit it randomly onto the ground. The gum “cracking” is only recently recognized as a sub-vocal warning of territorial rights, much as the male gorilla beats his chest to signify dominance. Oblivious to others outside of their basic tool making society, attempts to get them to disengage from such practice are rarely successful and often met with aggressive posturing.
Bottom line is that gum chewing is pretty much a sickening and nasty habit!
So remember gum and ULTRAZONE don’t mix!
