Rainbow Roller Rink 6220 Kansas Avenue, Kansas City, KS. It has already been demolished thanks to LoopNet showed this new rendering of a new larger building that will be slightly more than double of the original building. Hey, if you want it, better buy it and turn it a new rink with much more space! It has 40,000 Square Feet! Plenty to put a new rink there! Source: LoopNet.

Rainbow Roller Rink and later, Rainbow Center were on 6220 Kansas Avenue, Kansas City, Kansas and so was Burmudas night club which also closed in 2018. It closed back then and now being under construction as of September 2022 into a 40,000 Square Feet Industrial Building which is a Big Box style building.
Unfortunately that is all I have. Anyone know about the skating rink?
Apparently Rainbow Center closed in 2006 because the operator of the themed night club, Bermudas Night Club owned since that year according to LoopNet. The name is correctly spelled as it was seen on the sign outside above the main doors.
The Interior.
The poor photograph in the year book cut off the rink! Why? It is terrible! I attempted to find photos of the rink interior.. None. I could not use image search either because the U Yearbook website is not a very good website. Blurred pictures. Very similar to the newspaper.com website that Dead-Rinks do not subscribe to. It is our policy not to pay.
The Exterior.
Based on Google. the building is a very wide Gabled Free-Span Steel Trusses Cinderblocks - Walled Warehouse - like Building
When the rink turned to club was sold in 2006, they renovated the exterior into a Spanish-Caribbean themed look.
