The New York City Parks & Recreation operates roller hockey rinks
throughout the city. The city has a long history of municipal

The Roxy
515 West 18th Street at Tenth Avenue
The Roxy is located in the Chelsea section of Manhattan, roughly
mid-town on the west side. From I-95, the best approach is via
the Lincoln Tunnel, take the Downtown exit, which should dump you
on 34th Street, head west to Tenth avenue and take Tenth Avenue down
to 18th street, turn right and the Roxy will be on the right near
the corner. It's actually just a Marquee on what otherwise looks
like a warehouse. See the text for parking options and alternative
transportation recommendations.

Wed 8:00 PM - 2:00 AM Open Public (Club/Roller Music)
Wood Floor - Small - Heart Shaped
Snack Bar - Bar - Air Conditioned
No off-street parking
The Roxy was orginally opened around 1979 as a roller-disco offshoot
of the mega-popular Studio 54 dance club, at a time when other several
major NYC clubs were introducing roller-disco evening sessions. The
rink was converted from a second-floor parking garage. The Roxy was
extremely popular, especially among the younger disco set, but by 1985
it had changed owners several times and was operating as a non-skating
dance club under another name. Around 1990, it reopened as The Roxy,
with both skating and dance evenings, though the skating floor had been
partly obstructed by club seating. Recently, there was a major refurb
during the winter of 1995-1996, with a new Grand Opening in April.
The exact role of the Roxy is a bit difficult to relate, since it's not
the home of roller-disco, not a large rink and often too crowded for
pleasant skating, but it is a very popular NYC skating venue and perhaps
the closest approximation to the classic roller-disco rink, and a roller
skating cultural mecca worth at least an occasional pilgrimage for the
disco/dance oriented skater.
The usual weekly schedule is a public skating session on Wednesday nights
and a "Gay Night" session on Tuesday nights. Other evenings are disco
dancing, concerts or private parties. Occassionally, one of the regular
skating nights is pre-empted or rescheduled by a special event or private
party, so please call to check before making a long trip.
[ aboulanger@ldgo.columbia.edu (Albert Boulanger) - edited ]
The mental model that you should have when going to the Roxy is going
to a dance club -- only one is wearing their skates. The floor size is
a large dance floor but not as large as most rinks -- rather like the
size of the old Spinoff in Boston. There is a definite dance club
atmosphere conducted by both the physical plant and the people. They
have a bar. One word of warning is to only have *soft* drinks while
skating -- alcohol and skating really mix badly. Most skaters seem to
know this already. It is not a place to speed skate. It is not a place
to do Olympic style jumps as it is usually crowded. If you try these
you will be a risk and folks will tell you. It is a place to roller
*dance*.
The dress code is relaxed as people are going to be sweating a lot once
they get going to the slamming music. There is a large fraction of
Joe Average skaters there. Actually, the diversity of abilities/styles
and skates is quite a feature of the place. The people are friendly.
My friend who went with me last time met about five women during the
session. It is not however a "meat factory" that some dance clubs
become. The music is really good for roller dance. I have had to call
it quits before the end of the session every time I have been there
because the music draws every bit of energy out of me.
The way they do music is to have about 3/4 hour of really slamming
music then to slow down for 10-15 minutes. Couples get a chance to
skate during the slow times although everybody can skate during these.
They seem to start the slamming early on in the session -- it has
been slamming by the time I can get there at 8:30. They also do a
women and men exclusive skate. The DJ's there know what good skating
music is like and they will dip into some disco era stuff as well as
club remixes of current stuff.
The Roxy is located on 18th St at Tenth Avenue in the Chelsea district
of Manhattan. This is by the docks on the west side, a fairly short
cab ride from Penn Station. [ Plenty of taxi's were waiting after
midnight. ] There are bouncers at the door but they are for your own
good. There is a good set of security people in the club as well.
I have been parking on 23rd st. It is 2 way and the lot is between
10th and 11th Ave, there is another on 10th just beyond 23rd between
24th and 23rd.
[ grr@tharsis.com ]
After procrastinating for a year or so, I finally made it up to the
Roxy and had a great time. The sound system is excellent - loud,
but extremely clean, and the DJ was several classes above any I've
encountered at a skating rink. The music seemed to be mostly current
club hits, deep disco mixes with either some overdubbing or extra
bass boost. Only a little "Rap" music, with an assortment of "soul"
oriented stuff durning the slow skates.
The floor is not very large, apparently it used to be bigger, but
dance club seating/lounge areas have been extended over part of the
floor. Its shape is irregular, with a tendency for folks skating
in place or doing spins to gather at one end or in the center.
The floor tends to be quite crowded, but this is partly mitigated
by the large percentage of good skaters. It's mostly cooperative,
you probably won't get knocked down, but will get/give occasional
helping hand/fending off pushes or tap wheels with another skater.
While there were one or two obvious beginners and some average
skaters present, it's probably one of those things that the better
you skate, the more fun you will have, as a certain degree of
assurance is needed to deal comfortably with the crowded floor.
This probably isn't in a bad section of town for NYC, but the Roxy
is only a couple of blocks from some housing projects and you may
encounter some street prostitutes or homeless people just a few
blocks from the rink. I'd recommend walking in a group or taking
a cab after dark.
The rink is only a short cab ride from Penn Station so parking over
in New Jersey and taking a commuter train might be an alternative.
Be warned however, that the station locks up at 2:00 AM and post
mid-night schedules are fairly limited.
The Roxy itself is in the loft of some kind of commerical warehouse.
A non-descript entrance with a Roxy marquee at street level leads
into a long stairway/ramp up to the loft level. Admission is $12.
There is a skate rental/coat check immediately past the cashier,
but many people with only skate bags just stashed them by the rink
seating. There are bars with (expensive) refreshments and large
clean(!) restrooms.
Dress was casual to fancy - no skating skirts, ladies in anything
from disco style dresses to dance tights, men whatever. If there
is a dress-code, it probably amounts to "nothing that offends the
management". There were some strange (to this suburban eye)
characters present, but the emphasis really seemed to be on skating,
not hitting on members of either sex.
[grr]
Since the above, there have been some changes at the Roxy. The sound
system has been upgraded from more than adequate to massive overkill.
They've tried some sessions on other days, but nothing that lasted.
As mentioned previosly, the club was rennovated in early 1996, though
I don't know exactly what's changed.
There's also a new skating outlet, at least for the warmer months, at
the Chelsea Piers complex, only a few blocks away.

Wollman Rink (Central Park)
East Drive at Southern End of Central Park
The Wollman Rink is located in the southern end of Central Park, in
uptown Manhattan around 60th Street. The most direct approach to the
rink is from the entrance opposite Sixth Avenue aka the Avenue of the
Americas, this is the loop where the horse-drawn carriages hang out
waiting for passengers from the Central Park South area. Continue
inward past the Pond and there will be a ramp leading down towards the
rink entrance. Another option is take the 65th Street Transverse Road
from the Zoo entrance to the information center, then turn left to get
down to the rink. This route a little better populated, but the rink
isn't directly visible from the road.

*** regular schedule mat be pre-empted by special events
Outdoor - uncoated concrete - Seasonal
In-lines Permitted - In-line Rentals
The Wollman rink is a seasonal outdoor rink in Central Park. During
the Winter it operates as an ice rink, and in the summer it serves as
a roller/in-line rink and a site for various activities. The surface
is fairly smooth concrete - smooth enough to make skating on hard
indoor wheels tolerable, but with some rough/chipped/wavey spots that
remind you that you're skating on concrete. The rink surface is partly
obstructed by a miniature golf course with the remaining area is shaped
a bit like a slice of pie, with rounded corners. It's large enough
that this doesn't seem too wierd.
The rink is open for fairly extended hours and also serves as a skate
rental site for general in-line skating in the park area during similar
hours. Previously they rented both quads and in-lines, but it may now
be in-line only. There are also in-line lessons and group in-line
tours of the park orginating from the rental shop. Rink admission
is only $3-$4, but in-line rentals are $6 more, plus a $100 deposit.
Since the normal skating schedule may be pre-empted by special skating
or other sports event in the rink area, I'd advise calling ahead to make
sure that there isn't some conflicting activity scheduled.
Note that in addition to the Wollman rink, there is a lot of seasonal
*free* outdoor skating in Central Park. The recreational trails and
loop roads are asphalt paved and require outdoor wheels. The Bandshell
are also has smooth concrete and is popular with beginners and folks
practicing figure skating moves. The area known as "Dead Road" or
"Skater's Way" between the Bandshell and the Sheep Meadow is popular
with dance/disco skaters. In the afternoon there is often music in
this area and the scene may be more adult than in the Wollman rink.
Skating outside the Wollman Rink is free, but you must compete on the
paths with pedestrians, in-line skaters and bicyclists, and the flats
with pick-up hockey, in-line basketball, roller frisbee and loungers.
[grr]
According to the previous manager, the folks who held the concession
for the Wollman Rink for 8+ years lost bid this year, so the rink will
be operating under new management for 1996. The MMSC has also disowned
the Wollman venue due to loyalties to previous management.
There were conflicting stories about roller skating at the Wollmann rink
in the Summer '96 season. The orginal tale was that there would be
no skating and that the rink area would be used by some kind of outdoor
terrace restaurant. In fact, there is roller skating, and even more room
that before, because instead of part of the rink surface being used for a
miniature golf course, there's only a small aggressive skating park with
ramps and such.
I called to get the current schedule in June, 1996. It confirms that
there is plently of skating time, though the orientation seems to be
more "in-line" than before. There were rumors of adult dance/skating
evenings with a live DJ, but nothing mentioned on the taped message.

Chelsea Piers is located in the Chelsea section of Manhattan, along

Pier 62 is on the right at this point. There is supposedly on-site
parking ($$$), lots in the area and on-street parking. Alternatives
are to take the M23 bus from Mid-town, this runs cross-town along 23rd

The Cheslea pier complex was developed as a replacement for the Sky Rink,
an ice skating rink located on the upper floors of a Manhattan building.
The complex includes an ice skating rink, a large concrete outdoor roller
skating rink which can be divided into two smaller "hockey rinks" and a
variety of other fitness facilities.
The complex is still under development and apparently there are plans to
put at least a shelter roof over the outdoor roller skating rink by the
fall/winter of 1996.
[ rbs@panix.com (Robert B. Schmunk - http://www.panix.com/~rbs/Skate/NYC) ]
It's now open, with two open-air roller rinks being used for roller hockey,
lessons, and open skating. Both inline and traditional roller skates are
welcome.
One potential problem with Chelsea Piers is that its somewhat out of the
way location means that a) there is no subway station that is really close,
and b) it can be a bit difficult getting a cab when you want to leave at
least at obscure or slow hours. I expect, though, that the latter situation
will improve as other parts of the complex are developed.
[ gerber@panix.com (Alan Gerber) ]
There's open skating time during most of the day, and night-time has a lot
of hockey scheduled. There's also a pretty comprehensive instructional
program. There are also DJ parties there on Friday and Saturday nights.
The rinks themselves are pretty nice -- skating to music, with a nice view
of the river, is a lot of fun. It's quite a change from skating the loop
in Central Park. It's much smoother, and there are no dogs, bikes, and
so on to get in the way.
[ crutchf@ibm.net (Preston) - heavily edited ]
The Chelsea Piers complex is on the West Side of the West Side Highway,
and the only public transportation that takes you directly to the front
doors is the M23 bus. The stop is right outside of the parking lot.
The staff told me that the closest trains are the 1/9,A,C,and E, but my
advice is to still take the M23 bus. It runs every 10 minutes or so and
it takes longer to walk from the Subway.
The floor is concrete, like Wollman Rink, and parts of it are not very
smooth. Also, watch out for the painted Nike Swooshes in the floor -
you might trip on the change in floor texture. If you fall on concrete,
you could hurt yourself badly, so I recommend that everyone, especially
novices, wear wrist guards and knee pads. Parents - if you bring your
child, he or she must have a helmet. Also, for you quad skaters, if you
have hard indoor wheels, you might want to change them for 85A wheels.
Over the weekend, there were mostly parents with small children, maybe
150-200 skaters and I was one of only four skaters on quads. I hope more
of quad skaters will come out. If you are an experienced skater looking
for a (relatively) safe place to practice, I think you could do a lot
worse. You must be on constant watch for the little skaters, but then
that's the case at any mixed session. Novice skaters will find that there
is plenty of room to practice falling, but only when necessary.
I found the sound system itself to be more than adequate enough to push
bass lines through me. The problem arose in the music selection itself.
The "DJ" played selections from CDs that management, he said, picked out.
Any chance of getting your heart rate above resting through the music is
extremely remote. I asked about the possibility of bringing a mixed tape
for uninterrupted music but was met with, "That's not possible right now."
Beginning Saturday night, April 13, there will be a DJ, hopefully with
turntables, from 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM. Quad Skaters, please, come out
for this! Admission will be $8.00. [ also see the MMSC entry for a
description of their Saturday late night adult skate ]
One of the biggest selling points is the price. For only $4.00, you can
skate Monday through Friday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM and weekends from
12:00 PM to 6:00 PM. This weekend there were two smaller rinks in
operation, though was supposed to be one large rink. You may want to
call ahead to make sure the single, large rink is in effect. Otherwise,
the rink size is not long enough to get any good momentum going before
you have to go into a turn.
I found the rink overall to be quite pleasant and everyone I met had a
very positive attitude. Bring your sunglasses as the sun reflects
strongly from the water and the glass of the complex. You might also
want to wear something warm, preferably with long sleeves. On a warm
sunny day, you may get hot while you're moving. But when you stop, the
cool breezes from the Hudson will definitely make you think, "Brrr!!!"
Lockers are available or you can bring your own lock. Traditional skates
(quads) are NOT available for rental. Vending machines, pay phones, and
taxis are also available.

The Metropolitan-Manhattan Skate Club isn't a skating rink per se, but
rather a club that organizes skating events at various NYC area venues.
Their primary events are a series of Saturday night summer skates, now
at the Chelsea Piers rink, and several special skaters-reunion events.
These events are open to the general public and while the club focuses
on quad skating, in-lines are welcome. Previous day/evening events have
been all-ages, late night events are adult-21+.
The current summer event schedule is a weekly Saturday Adult-21+ late
skate from 11:30 PM to 3:00 AM at the Chelsea Piers outdoor rink, after
the normal public session. There is also a special July 4th session
planned. They advise calling the Chelsea piers (212-336-6200) for a
local weather report, since NYC weather may differ substantially from
wherever you're coming from.
You can also get a local NYC area weather report over the web at:

skate for their files, also whether it's a new membership or update.

These sessions are for adults over 21, and the public is invited.
The Metropolitan-Manhattan Skate Club is the oldest and largest adult
skate club of its kind, with over 6500 members. It is composed of
skating adult who skate on quads (not to be confused with in-lines)
to the sounds of a live DJ who plays a mixed format of disco, soul,
R&B classic hits and also the contemporary and top 40. Many of our
skaters and members skate on both quads and blades. All who roll
are cordially welcomed to join us or join the club (it is free).
This club also does promotional skate programs throughout the year.
A number of prominent celebrities are also part of the membership
and support these events. During the winter and fall months, our
programs go indoors.
We aim to promote and preserve the unique, New York style (freestyle)
of skating. Come and learn from the best (our members). This club
has recently joined forces with the other facets of the New York/Metro
Skate Community: roller-bladers, speed skaters, hockey skaters,
artistic skaters, and disco skaters.
Music is provided by live DJs - who are chosen for the creative
mixes and large record libraries of the musical formats that NYC
skaters love to hear. Most of the DJs who have played for the MMSC
in the past, have gone on to promising careers. These sessions
have become a springboard to new and equally talented DJs who could
not get a break, because there are so few rink or club spots open,so
many of them wait until summer - in the hopes of not only playing
for the MMSC once, but regularly.

This opened as an outdoor seasonal ice rink in late December '95. The
plan was that the rink would operate as a roller rink, with a plastic
sport-court surface, during the summer months. Apparently, the first
ice season didn't go all that well and due to a dispute between the
operator and lessor, the summer conversion didn't happen and the rink
is now padlocked.

[ rbs@panix.com - http://www.skatecity.com/NYC/Where/rinks.html ]
There is a rink in this public park, just northeast of the football and
soccer field. It doubles as an ice and roller rink, with roller hockey
and open roller skating available during the summer.
The latter sessions can be crowded with many folks from the neighborhoods
across Riverside. The atmosphere is very much that of a neighborhood
rink, with the usual collection of skate rats zipping around at knee
level, and early forays into courtship rituals by teen-agers.
Although the rink is partially open to the elements (there is a roof
and a clear, plastic hockey barrier about six feet high), sound doesn't
seem to disperse much and it can get pretty noisy.

various type of dance and skating amoung their classes, and also had a
hall for classes, shows or fund rasing events. Subsequently, they lost
their space and have become harder to pin down. There may also have
been some association with Tai Chi Dance & Skate Rehersal Studio on 23rd

the old location but later reopened at a new location in the warehouse

[ trish@imergy.com (Patricia M. Di Pasquale) ]
Thursday is still the adult (and best) night. The rink is much bigger and
nicer; they put a lot of money into it. However, some minor details are
still being worked out, such as the lighting - too bright or too dark, and
improving the sound system - the music bounces around in the ceiling.
It's easy to get to and worth the trip...

This center claims to have an indoor "in-line skating rink" in addition
to a 42 lane bowling alley, golf range, basketball, batting cages, a
climbing wall and volley ball.
The skating rink appears to be plastic over concrete, under an inflatable
or tent roof in the indoor tennis court style. There are basketball hoops
around the edges.
It's not clear what hours are available for recreational skating, probably
more limited than at other fun centers if the area is shared by hockey
league play and basketball. On the other hand, there are no surviving
conventional roller rinks on the island.

The rink has a wood floor whicsh is generally in good shape, though
there a few spots to watch out for. It's the basic oval shape, with
two practice areas in center. I don't have the measurements, but it's
approxmately the size of a supermarket. They do have skating supplies,
but not exactly up to skate shop level.
There are adult nights on Monday and Thursday. Monday is the better
night, with most people age 20-50. They tend to play R&B, some HipHop,
and club/house music on the adult nights. There's a nice crowd that
makes the rounds to other area rinks, also some newbies and diehards.
Thursday's are quiet and good for practice.
The best point is that at least there is still a rink on the Island.
The DJ is inconsistent, he brings you up and down. He'll play a few
good songs to get you going, then will then play 5 slow ones in row,
so it's hard to keep a flow for more then 15 minutes. Some nights
better. Overall, a nice Rink though.

They just opened in September 1996, but aren't really finished building

poles in the middle.
The owner is being "pennywise and pound foolish" about the rink. He
has a lot of money, but prefers to spend it all his way. For example
he put in a dropped ceiling and then took out the same drop ceiling and
glued the ceiling tiles onto the walls and painted them numerous pastel
colors.

Snack Bar - Games
[ ls973@uacsc1.albany.edu (Lorre Smith) ]
This arena boasts of being the world's largest indoor skating arena,
and we checked it out in the Guinness Book of World Records - they
still are!
The floor is oak and in good/fair shape, although it was built three
or four decades ago. The arena includes a practice-beginner's rink
and a baby rink, both of which come in handy for practicing those new
or tricky moves. Public sessions are held Tuesday - Saturday evenings,
with sessions on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. LOTS of children on
Sat. and Sun. afternoons, and Wednesday night, which is "Kid's Night".
The sound system is heavy-duty industrial type, so expect to take a few
minutes to get used to the decibels. The complex includes a snack bar,
game arcade and dance floor as well. Two guards skate all the time,
but do not bug anyone who's skating responsibly, no matter how fast or
in what direction. In-line skates are fine.
[ grr ]
Guptil's is has some intersting history. The rink was built by the
father of the current clan, and supposedly when he decided to build a
rink in the late 40's, he didn't want to fool around. The floor is
some 36,000 square feet, about twice the size of most large rinks, in
an even larger building and is of oak, with the boards laid on edge for
a thick long-lasting surface. If this isn't the worlds largest single
indoor floor, it's in the top two or three, and there are also separate
beginners and tots floors, a large arcade, party rooms and a teen dance
club! The decor is apparently mostly early 50's original.
Session wise, the rink is less exceptional, it's just the recreational
rink for the suburban and rural Albany area, with no artistic sessions.
I really want to get up to the rink one of these days, just to see
what it's like in person.
[ Luv2Sk8@aol.com (Dick Taylor) - edited ]
The rink has a big banner at the entrance that claims to be the world's
largest indoor skating arena (Guiness Book) and it appears they still
are. The floor is oak and doesn't look like it gets much attention.
It has kind of a film on it and is especially slick on the outer edges
where it doesn't get much use.
They have a practice area that doubles as the locker, bench, get ready
or rest area near the skate shop. This area has one set of serpentine
circles and loops. It doesn't appear to get much use for what it was
intended. There is also a baby rink/practice area.
The rink also has a large snack bar area and a big game room that is
accessible on skates. In the summertime, they have a Dairy Queen style
dairy bar. There is also a large dance club called Secrets, which is
open on Friday and Saturday nights.
At one end of the skate floor, there is a wall of plate glass windows,
like you'd see in a supermarket. At the other end, there is a stage.
Parked on the stage are two classic automobiles (nicely restored) and
a classic Wurlitzer juke box. The decor at the rink is classic 1950's.
The signs and sayings are all from that period too.
The floor guards - there was only one both times I've been there - wear
white hats, such as a police officer might wear. They don't seem to
care whether you skate forward or backward or at what speed as long as
you skate responsibly.
Due to the huge size of both the building and the rink, the music/sound
system tends to be "boomy" like you'd get at a stadium. On a special
"Black Friday" afternoon skate we attended, the level was not excessive.
They do run "trio skates" and "moonlight couples" skates and the skate
guards do enforce that skaters follow these special skate numbers. The
Thursday night session is supposeded to be a "singles night" oriented
towards adult recreational skating.
The facility is exciting to visit and fun to skate at, but I'm glad it's
not my home rink.

The sound system is very good, with a DJ on nights when there is not

with lots of control, and there are lots of games and dances for children.
Adult (read seniors) Night is Tuesday.
They want to look at your in-lines to pass them as "rink-safe", meaning

[ FEstep@aol.com (Frank Estep) - edited ]
I skate at Rollarama in Schnectady and as for as I know this is the
only rink in the area which has any artistic skating. As you go
farther East into Massachusetts and Connecticut you find much more
interest in artistic skating. In the Albany area there are two other
rinks, but they offer nothing but loud music and flashing lights for
skating. It does seem that is where the money must be.
The floor at Rollerama is 80x180 feet and I would say it is in excellent
condition compared to others I have seen. It was refinished just before
regionals last July. During the 1995 Northeast Regionals everyone raved
about the floor and it's condition.
We are very lucky to have rink owners who are, or were into artistic
skating - Frank and Joy Newberry both skated and taught for years and
she still teaches some. My current partner is one of Joy's students
and is now working on her Gold Medal dances.
We have five coaches here and a good number of regional and national
contenders. Private lessons go on almost every day and visitors are
welcome any time that a coach is there for a daily practice fee.
Rector McIntyre is my coach and has been very patient with my feeble
attempts to come back skating after a 30 year break. I just completed
my #7 American dance test but these dances are a lot harder than they
were when I tested them in 1952.
The main artistic skating is on Tuesday evening with classes an hour
before the session. For the casual skater there are evening sessions
everyday except Monday. The Sunday and Tuesday sessions feature live
organ music by Dr. John Weisner and some dances. The folks are very
friendly and made us feel right at home when we first started skating
again.

The rink at Midway Amusement Park is located right on the shore of Lake
Chautauqua, and is open only during the summer months. It is at least
unusual, if not unique in design. The rink is on the second floor of
a building containing a restaurant, lounge and shops. It is open to the
air with shutters which are closed only during bad weather.
The total building is about 100x200 feet, but the rink floor is divided
into an open center, with a railing which separates it from what I can
only describe as an outer track. The outer track is where most of the
organized skating (couples etc.) takes place. The center floor is open
for whatever you like except during waltzes. Outside the track is a
spectator area which I understand is now closed.
This is a very popular place for the younger set during the summer
tourist season. I skated and later worked there in the 40's and 50's,
my kids skated there in the 60's and 70's and now my granddaughter
skates there! It is not as big an attraction as it once was but still
popular. In 1955 when I worked there it was not unusual to have 400+
skating on Thursday and Sunday evening. At that time it was open for
two three hour sessions seven days a week. And yes, I skated six hours
a day, seven days a week that summer.

The normal park season starts on the Memorial Day holiday weekend. There
is limited skating starting as early as mid-April, with a Friday evening

Horizon seems to be primarily a roller rink, but they also have laser

[ DAHEED@aol.com - edited ]
The worst roller rink in New York has to be Horizon Fun FX in Rochester.
They refuse to play alternative music or metal except on very special
occasions, like when the manager or owner isn't there. They actually
play disco, no joke. There is no minimum age limit there on Friday and
Saturday nights so all the 13 year olds and up are forced to jump their
asses off every time a six year old falls in front of them. Another
problem is that if a couple younger than 30 are making out, the security
guards break it up. It costs $6 to skate there for a few hours and the
drinks are so expensive that a large pop costs you your first born.
The worst part is that it's the only place to skate indoors within 20
miles. Outdoors, if the cops see more than 5 people blading down a
street it gives them the right to stop and question you.

Horizon Fun FX is a moderate sized rink with skating always counter-
clockwise. Mostly Top 40 music on prime time. Snack bar inside and

sessions are crowded with kids/birthday parties. Monday evening is a

Saturday evenings are family or teen nights depending on season.
