I've heard that this rink is closing down soon, which is very sad. Even though the skating surface is in need of repair and has 2 giant pillars in the middle of it, the roof leaks, the snack area is decorated in cringeworthy rainbow colors, and the restrooms are not enough, going there has always been a good time. Admission and rentals are cheap, the staff is very friendly, and they put on fun events and are amenable to hosting others' events. Also the only rink in CT to have its own MySpace page - these other places need to get with the program. On Wednesdays they hold an Oldies Skate Night from 7 to 10 PM for ages 21+ : great for groups of friends, artistic skaters, and older recreational skaters that don't want to deal with a knee-high obstacle course. The DJ plays everything from actual oldies to Michael Jackson and techno remixes of Neil Diamond. On Mondays from 8 to 9:30, the rink is host to Rollerdurance, a fitness skating event put on by three former Connecticut Rollergirls, which combines skating technique with agility, speed, and strength drills. It's been great knowing you, Wheel World, and I'm sad to see you go! read more
