Arts and Culture

The Stone Mountain Laser Show, the most popular attraction at the park, has gotten a makeover as it prepares to celebrate its 25th anniversary. The new show will make its debut Saturday.

Hours before the show begins, Stone Mountain workers make the necessary preparations. Paul Creasy adjusts the lasers.

A sign posted on the door of the control center that contains one of the laser units warns of the dangers lasers possess.

A pyrotechnician shows one of the fireworks used in the finale.

One-year-old Jordan Cook and his parents, Brandy and Colin, watch as laser beams paint the sky green above them.

The laser show has seen by an estimated 20 million people during its run.

Anyone concerned the show has changed too much will be relieved to learn it still will have a healthy dose of patriotism.

Although visitors probably won't notice, the show has been shortened by four minutes.

The show's biggest switch is dropping "God Bless the U.S.A." and replacing it with the National Anthem.

The fireworks finale will be three times larger than it was last year.
