Hot Wheels Skating Palace

[REDACTED]
(UPDATE) 10÷12÷14
I wrote a review earlier based on my previous experience 3 years ago. After having gone skating again just yesterday and found there to be quite a few things missing.
The arcade is sparse with no worthwhile games to blow money on, the rink area is really dark (and not in the fun way with disco lights and such), the rink floor is warped in areas and is in desperate need of re-​waxing, the walls were bare and lacking any kind of pizazz to make the area more lively, and the music was basically the same repetitive crap you hear on the radio. I’m not sure if the jukebox even has any good songs on it.
However, the concessions were cheap, most of the staff were kept busy yet still made time to help us out, and the other skaters were relatively considerate of others (though there was a little rough-​housing in the dining area).

Kind of a sad step back in time. Very outdated and the higher-​cost inline skates were EXTREMELY uncomfortable to everyone that wore them. The music played was nothing short of awful and no special lighting was used on the rink. 1 star was added because they have a reasonably priced concession stand.

My cousin planned for her sons to have a birthday party here. She thought it would be a great place for family and friends to get together and enjoy themselves. That is what this business advertises,“We are a family oriented fun center that is committed to giving area families a fun, safe place to enjoy time together and make lasting memories”. Unfortunately, upon a visit to the business, there is a sign that states, «NO Rap, Hip Hop, or R&B». I do understand about not allowing vulgar words or words inappropriate for children to hear to be played in that environment! I agree 100% but, the previous genres are not the only ones with inappropriate language in them, that’s why they created radio version music. My cousin spoke with the manager and they could not explain why they didn’t play this kind of music. So the only conclusion that I can come up with is that this business prefer a certain audience and therefore the only way to detour «others» is by not playing rap, hip hop, and r&b. Go to the one in Bossier City, they play ALL music, ALL day.
