“We were hoping to check it out, but it’s not open for us yet, unfortunately,” Melissa Oberholtzer said. “We thought we’d come stop into Stone Mountain Park because we hear it’s a cool place to check out.”
The classic laser show will still be part of the park’s catalog of light shows and will still be shown from time to time.
The new show will debut Memorial Day Weekend.
