Magic River Skateland Milton, Pennsylvania. I do not have the street, do not have more information. Anyone know more about this rink and the dates?
Apparently this was one of the four Magic River Skateland Franchise. The other rinks being in Danville, Lewisburg, and, in Lock Haven, Pennsylvania in which it became Skate Haven.
Rick and Claire Shampanore owned and operated this rink and perhaps the other Magic River Skatelands in Pennsylvania. They owned and operated all of those rinks for 25 years.
Robert D. Gudmundson was the rink operator from 1978 to 1985.
Anyone know more about this rink? Please contact us! And photos of the rink itself! And can you provide an exterior photo that is not yellow tinted? Thank you.
From what I have seen in photos of the skaters, the pictures appeared to be in late 1970s-very early 1980s. So, the rink had to be around that time.
The Interior.
Hard to tell with photos because they are skaters in the pictures, not the rink or background however, a few showed the Starburst Lights and Mirror Balls which were very common.
This showed me it was a classical 1970s roller rink appearance. It does showed me it was likely opened in 1970s. And closed in very early 1980s.
The Exterior.
With that photograph being so yellow, likely it was Peach Yellow or lighter. Or Sand for exterior walls. Flatted roof. The wall texture looked rough like it was a stucco or popcorn style.
Some Red Bricks were also used.

Dead Rinks is now International Roller Skating Rinks History Foundation© because many former names have become new names at the same rinks that are still active and due to much confusion, We have decided that International Roller Skating Rinks History Foundation© fits better for all rinks including defunct, closed, inactive, rebooted, and rinks that are still active today. For short on this site, it is International Roller Skating Rinks History© Bear with us as we change the entire site page by page each day. Thank you for understanding.

All sources are shown on each page. All opinions and statements of mine are also stated and are for purely educational entertainment only.
Rinks that are closed are considered dead. Rinks that are/were sold and with new management names new name(s), the former are considered dead. Previous operating rink that closed but came back years later, are considered dead because the reopening is considered rebooted, nothing to do with the former. Since we are rebooted to allow alive rinks, active rinks, we welcome those active rinks as well. It will be described.
As for “For Office Only” is for my reasoning and private legal reason for that.
