There is a rollerskating rink, reopening in Australia.

We actually have at least three operating roller skating rinks in Brisbane, Australia. So, The Oak Flats rink is not the only rink in Australia...
But. all the rinks I went to (back in the day) are gone!

Our rink got stomped on buy hot shot kids with rollerblades and eventually went bankrupt. I use to love roller skating and still have skates.

I'm glad the same roller rink I used to go to as a kid is still open for business! :)

Here in New Jersey, the girlfriend of one on my buddies insists that rollerskating is making a comeback. But I think it may just be popular in her little rollerskating enthusiast circle.

Wouldn't have a clue about roller skating rinks around here - back when I was a teen ice skating was all the rage! There are at least two in my area - one newish one - and the other one has been going for almost 30 years!

We have one here in town, about three years old and everyone loves it. I have been rollerskating in the park for a year; funny that people stop me and
say, "Are those rollerskates?"
I tell them to go get some and meet me up sometime in the park. It's easy and it's really fun to be a little retro when you exercise.

Hi,
I'm 16 and I didn't even know what roller skates were untill recently. I'm just a teen who wears a hat backwards/to the side, so I guess I don't know much about things that were popular in the past. I like to skateboard, a few months ago when I was skateboarding an older person asked me how come kids don't use roller skates any more...I said you mean roller blades, I use those sometimes. (I thought those words were interchangable) He said no not roller blades, rollar skates, and explained the difference. I said wow, I didn't even know about those. Then a few weeks later I seen someone with roller skates, that was the first time I seen them. They don't have any roller rinks in my town in Iowa. They have an ice rink and a skate park, which are cool for me.
