One of the park's most popular rides is the Astrosphere, which is an indoor Scrambler which features a state-of-the-art laser and light show while playing ELO's Fire on High.
A big picture of this skyscraper can be seen at the inner sleeve of the Time album of the Electric Light Orchestra.
The Who, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and Electric Light Orchestra were among the first high-profile rock acts to use lasers in their concert shows in the mid-1970s.

#"Roll Over Beethoven" (Single version) (Chuck Berry)
This was Jeff Lynne's second tongue-in-cheek response to allegations of hidden Satanic messages in earlier Electric Light Orchestra LPs by Christian fundamentalists which led up to early 1980s American congressional hearings (a similar response had been made by Lynne on the Face the Music album, during the intro to the "Fire on High" track).
