the best photo we got of the guys who did it

first and last time going here- went with our friends and someone in our group got pushed over as a "prank" while they videoed and the managers didnt do anything about it. these teens tried to steal his stuff and run off with us while also yelling slurs at them in front of children. cops were called and they were uncooperative since the managers are friends with the guys who did it. they clearly dont care about your safety or a family friendly environment, definitely dont recommend.

Large groups of obnoxious children blocking the "path"

Terrible experience. Will not be back. Go to Invisalign Arena in Morrisville. This location and facility looks like a flea bag motel from the outside and wasn't much better inside. Track out camp kids whose parents dump them with whoever will take them run around like it's lord of the flies, with no supervision. The counselors scream and berate them...not sure what about because they were playing bumper cars with the skate helpers, lifting the skate helpers over their heads and throwing them at each other, riding on top of the skate helpers while being pushed, standing still in large groups on the ice blocking the path, skating aggressively, tackling each other on the ice, racing and weaving through patrons and so on. At one point one of them crashed into my young child skating backward going the wrong way around and racing. I complained numerous times to the staff including management, but they simply ignored me. Staff is rude, unfriendly and ineffective. Rental skates were horrible and the lowest quality imaginable. Didn't fit right on any of the six people in my party and gave everyone blisters and sore feet. I will be telling everyone I know in Cary to never patron this establishment. Doesn't look like it's been updated since 1984, so I'm guessing business isn't that good as it is. Bathrooms were disgusting mess. The food court was a joke and lacked any real food.

However, the waiver is only good for 24 hours, so you will more than likely need to complete one each time you go. I would suggest getting here at the start of the skating window since at the end of the skating time, everyone must exit the rink so you maximize your money and experience by getting there early. The rink is a nice size. The skates we rented were in pretty good condition expect for your youngest who's strings were a little hard to lace up with the end of the string being unraveled. They had a snack bar with food and drinks and also had a small arcade area. There were lockers to put your stuff in. They were not busy when we attended so I didn't get a locker. They have free wrist guards and "skate supports" for kids who need help to stay balanced while skating. They did play a game while we skated which my kids enjoyed. All of the staff was friendly. We will definitely be returning.

I grew up skating at wheels, I'm from Durham. I am never rude in a service industry business as a professional curtesy no matter what the circumstances. I understand what it means to deal with you the public. I arrived at around 10:15pm on Boxing Day after family obligations were done. I paid to enter, was wanded by security and let in. Then, someone noticed that I had an un-opened can of non-alcoholic soda in the pocket of my parka, which I'd had from earlier in the day, it was a large coat with large pockets and I had simply forgotten it was there. I was immediately and rudely told to leave, and followed by security as I gathered my things and returned my skates as though I was a shoplifter or something, which I was confused by. I had just strapped on my skates and so asked to speak to a manager to better understand why I was being treated like this. The gentleman working security immediately emptied his pockets on a table and got in my face telling me that he was going to physically "put you outside if you don't go now! You have two choices!". Obviously I left. Good lord. Do better Durham. I will never come back.

He even allowed me to peak into the skating area to see if it was suitable for our kids. After payment and entry, our kids were immediately wanded, without us being notified that this was a part of their routine. I approached the owner about it for clarification because it's within a parents' right to know what's about to happen to their kid(s) before it happens, and he had a serious attitude about being questioned concerning this. Still with an unprofessional attitude, he went as far to say that "If you want to be here, they have to be wanded" Then told me that he is "known to be an a-hole." I told him that we were leaving and asked his wife for a refund. I had requested to speak to him outside the door and he was trying to be aggressive with his body language, so I explained to him what proper customer service was and that his attitude was a serious problem. You can even tell that his own wife was embarrassed concerning this because it seems that he doesn't only act this way towards paying customers. Some kids can be wild and rambunctious true, but it is up to the adults to lead by example. I would not recommend this place, if anything the foot traffic needs to be stopped at this location. Especially if the owner himself acts like this towards customers.

Skateland USA North Review…read more Skateland USA North was such a fun time--nothing but great vibes all night! The energy was high, the crowd was into it, and the overall atmosphere made for an unforgettable experience. The rink itself was smooth, and the lighting added to the excitement of the night. My only critique for Sunday evenings would be to let the songs play out fully instead of using mixes. It would really enhance the experience to vibe to the full track rather than jumping between different beats. Other than that, everything was on point. Definitely looking forward to coming back!

I've always gone to Skateland on Stage Coach. As a kid, I would frequently visit this location…read more This brings back some fantastic memories. I remember going here as a little kid. They have made some fantastic improvements. I remember we skated at our own risk of falling. They have skating aids to assist new skaters now. The gaming area is the corner. The food court has your typical skate rink food. I dove into the nachos and topped it off with some pink lemonade. They have hot dogs, chips, pickles, candy...just put it this way...they have choices! The tunes blasting from speakers will keep your groove going throughout day and night. They play a great variety of steady beats. There were a few pro skaters mingled in the crowd. Watching the pro skaters is so cool and fun. They have an area dedicated for parties or large groups. They have a few arcade games in one corner. If the kids want the little toys from the toy section, they'll love it.

If you are looking for a fun filled event, this is it. I am no sports fan. Hate all sports, never…read morewatch any on tv - not even the Superbowl. However, watching the Carolina Rollergirls was an all new adventure. Must admit that seeing "Whip It" got us to investigate local roller girl teams. We did our research, became fans on facebook, and headed to the arena. The following was impressive. We waited in line for our tickets and headed inside the arena. People passing out books were friendly and helpful in giving you pointers on where to sit etc. Definitely come early and sit ringside, right on the concrete floor right beside the track. Yeah, you might get a skate to the face, but it is totally worth it. These ladies are fierce competitors. The battle we watched was amazingly intense and ended with everyone on their feet cheering on the 1 point deciding victory. It was unbelievable. Next time the Rollergirls are rolling out, make sure you get your a** to the arena and cheer these women on! You will not regret it!

I have always loved the Carolina Rollergirls. When we lived in Raleigh a few years back, we rarely…read moremissed a bout, and now that we're back in the Triangle, we were excited to head back to Dorton Arena and relive the spectacle. It TOTALLY didn't disappoint, and it was really like old times again. We ate some junk food, browsed the names and bios of the new skaters who've joined the ranks over the years, geeked out over the evolution of the game and new strategies they were employing, and (per the usual), I started fantasizing about my future as a roller girl. Seriously, though, this is some of the best, most wholesome entertainment I can imagine. The Carolina Rollergirls have always done a great job at making roller derby an event for an entire family and for an entire range of ages. They've got plenty of great half-time events, mascots, and crowd interaction, and then on top of that, they're just awesome athletes competing at a really high level. These women are flat-out amazing. The best part about the Rollergirls, though, is how congenial they seem to be. Despite the high level of competition and the bruising nature of the sport, I've always gotten the impression that off the rink the teams hang out and really support each other. Derby-girls stick together. It's encouraging to see a group of women who a) kick ass at their sport and b) have each other's backs. Maybe the word I'm looking for is sportsmanship. And if I had a daughter (or a son, for that matter), I'd take them to see the Rollergirls set a great example.

Please don't make the mistake of buying roller skates from this website!!…read more I brought the holographic roller skates as a beginner skater because I heard they were a good start for people trying new tricks, and figured that it's rare to find inexpensive skates in a size 11, so why not, right? I almost sprained my ankle on these death traps, due to the poor manufacturing notorious for this brand of skates. After I already placed my order, I started to see a ton of negative reviews of the skates, but there were also really positive ones (which I now know were bots) so I assumed it was just a hit or miss and hoped for the best. They came in the mail within two weeks of placing my order, and I was obsessed with how pretty they were. The excitement wore off when I felt the boot and the material felt like something from Dollar Tree. Very obviously cheaply made, and I didn't have enough skate knowledge then to see how awful the wheels and bearings were. I used them maybe twice a week for MAXIMUM a month, and one day as I was turning in my garage (smooth, flat area) my wheel popped off and my ankle twisted uncomfortably. I was furious, and immediately emailed Angel Skates for a refund, to which they provided me a 10% refund and (after hassling them for more than just a few dollars back) a new wheel to replace the broken one. These are not sidewalk skates as the label suggests, because they barely lasted three weeks of light use in my garage!! They are extremely dangerous and I do not suggest them at all to ANYONE who wants to skate. I essentially wasted $100+ for them to sit in the corner of the garage for a few months after they broke. If you want a pair of aesthetic skates FOR SHOW, then sure invest in these. But under no circumstances should you actually attempt to skate in them. (If you're reading this and looking for a RELIABLE pair of skates, I suggest Moxi Lolly Outdoor Complete Skates. I got mines back in November and they're not as shiny as the Holographic Skates, but they're just as pretty and way more durable! They skate indoors and outdoors very smoothly, and I get compliments on them all the time. They are more expensive, but much more worth it)

I've made numerous attempts to contact this company with no success. The phone number they have listed goes to "Pinnacle Health." They've ignored my every email.
