Skating anyone?

[dancerjodi]

The Netgoths are going skating at the Frog pond Saturday at 5:00 (you should go too). That got me thinking of skating days past. I've been DYING to go rollerskating again :)

I found this place from my brother: http://www.rollerkingdom.com/

So, skating and lazer tag anyone? I wonder if they have video games too (to amuse those not skilled in the art of skating around in a circle with strobe lights and disco ball).

There's also a roller-rink in my city (way closer than trecking my butt out to Tyngsboro) but they don't have the cool lighting effects :)

I wish they still played the 80's music there (though from the looks of the site its going to be all Top 40 pop stuff).

Do you think there would be enough there to amuse non-skaters?

Can you rent skates there? I'd need to do that :)

You can rent skates there, for sure. Rollerblades or regular skates.
They do have video games that I recall. That lasertag thing must be new. There was a large area to just hang out and have pizza, and watch the skaters. I don't know - I think it would be fun, but I don't know how many non-skaters would enjoy it. Because the music will be ultracheesy. Eh, I would love to do it for nostalgia's sake and because it would be great exercise! I wonder if I can still skate?

Heh, I wonder if they still have the games - like the hokey pokey or the races.

Did they also do the cheezy "couples-only" skates (they did that at the Wal-Lex too, though friends just would skate around together). Another favorite was the bunny hop (which is just scary on rollerskates IMO) :)
