It's your business: Skateland hoping laser tag is big draw

If your idea of fun at a roller rink is strapping on a pair of skates and dancing the hokey pokey, has Skateland in Savoy got something new on the way for you: laser tag.

Skateland owner Bob Householder said his approximately 2,200-square-foot laser tag arena, set to open Labor Day weekend, will allow 12 players at once to suit up in special vests and chase each other around an "urban quest" themed area with sound and light effects.
