They do not have any organized sessions for artistic skating but do
have a club and some competitors. There is a woman there who teaches,
figures and freestyle but no dance. Instead, they have a coach who
comes all the way from Tampa once a week to teach dance.
I skated there during part of a session and almost got run over by
the munchkins, and also for a couple hours during a practice time.

[ JSTARKE@pjc.cc.fl.us (Jeffrey A. Starke) - edited from form ]
Dreamland keeps the rink in good condition, and the skating floor is
among the largest in Florida and usually well maintained. It is blue
plastic over masonite sheets, but is resurfaced annually.
The snack bar and other sitting areas are usually very clean with
plenty of seats for the non-skaters. The rink is very popular for
kids parties - about nine party rooms with the visiting roller
skating dinosaurs.
The crowds are usually well mannered. Some of the Saturday morning
party sessions can get pretty crowded with many young, inexperienced
skaters, but should not cause any concern for any decent skater.
The late night sessions usually have less kids, no organ music - just
top-40, dance music and country sometimes. There is a deputy on duty
for the busy Friday and Saturday evening session. They have regular
and speed skating lessons available.
Not many bad points for Dreamland. Now if more of the parents who bring
the kids to the rink would skate with their kids - that would be nice!

Sunday was a dead session and they were going to cancel it. The rink has a
"Floating floor" which is a floor built on wood beams so that it rebounds.
These floors are really nice!

I would also like to welcome anyone to Gold Coast Roller Rink in
Ft. Lauderdale, for some great shuffling/jamming on a Friday night.
If you are interested, let me know!

[ net gleanings ]
Besides its unexpected delights, there are all those luxuries and
diversions you would naturally expect in a world-class resort. An
internationally acclaimed spa, six unique restaurants, Two PGA
managed championship golf courses. Tennis at the 24-court tournament
style complex. Horseback riding. Plus indoor racquetball and squash,
swimming, bicycling, jogging - even a bowling alley and roller rink.
[ grr ]
From what I can tell, this is a large, expensive resort / convention
center, which incidentally happens to have a "roller rink" of some
sort on the grounds. It's quite probably restricted to guest use only.

Planned
According to a 10/27/95 Ft. Luaderdale newspaper article, this rink

the neighborhood. The facility is to include a 200'x80' roller rink,
bumper cars, a video arcade and more.
According to the article, city approvals and additional fundings are
needed before the rink can open, possibly in the early 1996 timeframe.

We visted this rink on a Saturday night and it was very nice, the
nicest we visited on our vacation. The skating floor is wood with
coating, 75'x200'. The sound system was fair, with only 4 speakers -
no thumping bass and there wasn't any fancy light show, but the
rink was clean and the people that owned the rink were very nice.
They have begineer classes before the weekend matinee sessions and
also a speed class after the Sunday session.

entire format of his rink to make it a Christian ministry. He plays
contemporary Christian and secular music, but all the secular music
has been screened for positive messages to to create an environment

An article in the 4/19/96 St. Petersburg times describs this rink in
some detail, mostly from a teen perspective though it also mentions
older skaters. It doesn't give a complete schedule, but does mention
chrsitian skating and a private gay night.
