Rollerama Skating Center 2222 New Rodgers Road, Levittown, Pennsylvania. This rink was located where the current Giant food store is located. They demolished it in around 2004-05. So this means the rink was closed around 2004 or before that. The grocery store building is built on the former rink and the parking lot for the supermarket? They torn down all the trees just for parking. It is sad.
The Google Map showed the red pin pointed to the middle of the road between a 1960s style apartment complexes and the forest just next door to the supermarket. An error but it was not when it was skating rink. That supermarket must have received a new address when they got approval and registered with the US Postal Services as known as the Post Office.
Facebook groups, yes, plural. They do not have the dates for the former rink opening so there is no way we know for sure. However, it seems to be 2005 the year they closed according to someone in a group on Facebook.
They appeared to have two different designs. The Segmental Arch building as seen on the decal and the newer building seen in 1980s photos. Entirely different. What happened to the Segmental Arch building?
The Interior.
The Original building: Likely they had Non-painted clearcoated Hardwood Maple floor to skate. Perhaps no carpets.
The New building: Gabled roof building: Non-painted clearcoated Hardwood Maple floor
The Exterior.
I do not know what the original appearance but the photos in 1980s showed very much looked like it was updated sometimes at the time.
The Original building: Segmental Arch building with extension building on the left side of the front.
The New building: Gabled roof building. The front is different apparently than the sticker showed.
