Brian Ferraro, co-owner of Skateland in Lockport, NY, and his family recently donated one of the last known remaining working Stargate's to the Laser Tag Museum. After trying to sell the Stargate and having no luck, Brian decided it would be a waste of a cool artifact to throw away.

Brian made arrangements for the team to drive to Lockport, NY to pick up the Stargate. Moving the Stargate was no easy task but with Brian and his team helping we got the Stargate transferred safely back to the Laser Tag Museum.

The Stargate is a nearly 10' tall (3 meters) laser tag prop manufactured by Laser Storm and based off of the movie "Stargate" (1994). For those who do not know "Stargate" was a movie made in the 90's staring Kurt Russel (Col. Johnathon O'Neil) and James Spader (Dr. Daniel Jackson). In the movie, the Stargate was an ancient artifact discovered in Egypt with hieroglyphs on the perimeter of the Stargate. The Stargate was transferred to an Army base located in Colorado.

Dr. Jackson was called upon to translate the hieroglyphs and once he figured out that the hieroglyphs are coordinates, he and his enter the coordinates into the Stargate which opened a wormhole to the planet of Abydos. Col. O'Neil then leads his men and Dr. Jackson and his crew into this unknown world where the plot really thickens.

The laser tag prop Stargate is almost a complete circle that goes outside of the entrance to the laser tag arena. After the players get debriefed the Stargate puts on a show. A combination of fog, lights, and audio clip all begin at once. The players stand in awe as the Stargate opens a wormhole in front of them to which they are to go in and defeat the enemy. There is a video of a Stargate on the Laser Storm page.

The Laser Tag Museum would like to thank Brian Ferraro and his family for this huge donation. The Musuem will be forever grateful for this donation.
