Skate Fever once was Rainbow Fun Emporium. At 5909 Aero Drive, Tuttle, Oklahoma. Panorama view. This is how you drive up to arrive and park to skate. I wish the tree was not there so you can see the front doors. It is hidden behind that tree! Ah! Anyway, the building to the right is some industry. Houses behind and left (unseen). Source: Google.

Skate Fever once was Rainbow Fun Emporium. At 5909 Aero Drive, Tuttle, Oklahoma. Aerial map of the property. They owned from the very front of the rink toward to the property ends with the big house on the left side cross the small road behind the rink. The width is slightly wider than the length of the rink. I am sure now that ice cream place by the road side (Sara Road) was affected by the closure of the rink. Children would love to have an ice cream after skating. At any rinks around the world, always there is a fast food, a pizza shop, or an ice cream shop is right by the rink for extra business. Traditionally, this occurred since 1950s. Source: Google.

UPDATE! -- 11 September 2022.
Just received this email and here is what he has to say.
Saw your site as I was looking for old pics of this place... I was there when it opened in 1986 and went thru around 1991... I'm 44. Obviously, a camera was the last thing I thought about on my way there (what a luxury right?) 😂
I can give you a little info on the original story... It was owned by a couple who ran it pretty well for the first few years and I guess business/ times got a little tough because they ended up turning part of it (Northern most side) into their home. I remember they had a daughter that was a couple years younger than me.
I always had a good time there. I was the first person to ever wear rollerblades there... [omit] I'm old. Do you have any other pics of this place?
I will try but that is all I got when I made this profile a year ago. Thank you. I found many interior with too many skaters that it was focused on them. That would be found in Yelp and Google Images. Chrome gave no results for photos. Except for those on this page!
Updates: (11 September 2022).
Well, I found another source even dating the building back to 1981 when it was built. What was there before this rink opened in 1986? 5 years is long enough to perhaps a different rink or what? Or was it something else? New information brings many questions. ie- One new information brings a bunch of new questions.
Jeremy D. and his family operated Skate Fever.
In City-Data, it was Karen Baker that owned and operated the rink. Conflict facts here. Who owned which rink and when?
A website said they started in 1994 for Skate Fever! That is a new discovery! It truly conflicting here! See Skate Fever.
The Interior.
It has White painted Polyurethane coated Concrete floor to skate and the ceiling is quite low as well. It makes it look long inside but it is not.
It has Snow-White walls with Fire Red lettering for Skate Fever. Truly opposite to nicer Blue letterings on outside of the building.
The Exterior.
Free-Span Steel Trusses Steel-Walled Warehouse - like Building with Gable roof. It is a low hung roof though because of the ceiling inside is low. It is in a nice neighborhood. It is way out in the countryside though. It got a nice flag pole garden though. The walls are Beige.
