Both Courtesy of Google Map. Noticed the building? It does not look like a rink but a school, don't you think? It IS a rink. Noticed the colors above the windows were changed. Looks a lot better in the 2019 version. And noticed something else changed? Yes, that motel next door. Now I know where to stay overnight after I skate at the rink.. someday. LORD willing.

Roller Coaster Skate World 2068 Lafayette Rd, Fort Oglethorpe, GA (Current)
Jepco Skating Center was in Fort Oglethorpe, GA before Roller Coaster Skate World took over. What strange was how the address number is used. The number changed by way off. Currently Roller Coaster Skate World use the address number 2076 while Jepco Skating Center used 2068. That is 12 lots differences or 6 doors down. But Google Map showed it is same place but the red pin moved right up to the front door instead of the middle of the building! I had to laugh about that. Which address will you please stand up, both of you!? One time I found the address for Roller Coaster Skate World was 1711 but that is not the address at all.
Anyway! I do not have any other information but found Jepco Skating Center here or there on the net but not about the rink itself. Just directories. It is Roller Coaster Skate World now.
I checked the Facebook, only one post that was 2014. But I doubt it was opened that year.
Will find out from fans like you can provide me information about Jepco. Even Roller Coaster Skate World for its date.
The Interior.
I do not know what Jepco was like but it has beautiful large clear coated Polyurethane Coated Maple roller rink in FAN format layout. I believe they do have outlines only for the Roller Derby.
It does have that 1990s-2000s feel in the rink but still, attractive and the size of rink makes it a plus for skaters to go to Roller Coaster Skate World. Sorry, the rink is flat, not curvey to be like a roller coaster. And sorry, no inversions or exversions for you to enjoy. Haha. Funny way to say it because the name of the rink is Roller Coaster Skate World. It is not what you think with the name. Roller as in Roller Skating and you coast on the rink. That is why the name.
The Exterior.
It has that old school style building. In fact two schools near me has that similar design. LIterally school style building. The windows are in middle of front side of the building with Red Bricks veneer around the building. It was bit more stylish.
They had colored walls sections above the windows back then but they are all Grey now. The Graying of America.. too much gray and black everywhere! But the bricks remains.
