Think of it, a special opportunity 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). As most of you know, our Endurance games always sell out so to avoid a painful disappointment sign up early (we just hate seeing sad ZONE players). Make certain you arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled start time.

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!
