This site was known once for roller rinks. Yes, at least three with four rink names. Fun Station and Fun Station USA are one and the same. They are closed there. But the company that owned as franchise has changed its name to something use but use the same link when you tried to click that link from Trekaroo and it leads you to laserbounce but no mention of roller skating at their franchises. So, that too, the possibility that they have eliminated roller skating at many of their franchises. I do not know but I will find out and what locations because that is a new batch of rinks that are gone.
Dorothy Lewis owned Fun Zones of Danbury. I noticed Dorothy Lewis had another corporation filed in November 29, 2005, that was ten years and half years after she registered for Fun Zones of Danbury facility. She called it 40 Mill Plain Road, LLC. What was it there? But in 2007, Steven Weiss (name sound familiar somewhere I heard that before) opened a bowling center in 2007 because he registered on October 23, 2007. That clearly ended any roller skating under Dorothy Lewis.
The Interior.
N/A.
The Exterior.
This 28,704 Square Feet facility was a huge rink and only photographs are from 2007 and 2008 at the end of its life as a rink.. turned into bowling center. It was Dark Red with Sky Blue steel trim above the building. I could not see the front because Google did not have a driver to go there. Instead he drove on the highway-- Interstate 84.
The size truly amount to be as a large rink. Clearly they had a large floor to skate on.
After those businesses closed (Rinks and bowling), it was turned into a Big-Box plaza. I came up with that because it does look like a single warehouse or a single big box store but it was divided into several businesses such as retail into that plaza and you had to drive around to reach your destination. Not like a plaza which only has a singular side with doors and windows.
