Growing up, I used to bring my Sega Dream Gear portable game console with me to family parties all the time just so I could play games when no one was looking (alright, I’ll admit I would run and hide away with the device a lot to conquer new levels). The one game I played the absolute most? You guessed it, Sonic the Hedgehog! So to finally make it out to the special #SonicRunway display in downtown San Jose half an hour before they closed it down last night was a treat. It took everything in me to resist dashing through those light-up rings and becoming the Blue Blur himself but nostalgia rushed through me anyway. Seeing all the lights and hearing the music come together in this special display was wonderful. 💙 • About Sonic Runway: Sonic Runway is a tunnel of extremely blinky arches that converts audio signals into a pattern of lights that shoots down the tunnel at the speed of sound (1225 kph / 761 mph). From one end of the Runway, you can see the music racing away from you. On the other, you can see it coming at you and hear it reach you in sync with the patterns. In San José, the Sonic Runway is 432 feet long and stretches across two city blocks. (at Sonic Runway)
