Both Courtesy of Skateway. The original is on the left as you can tell with the wheel and smiley faces as wheels were more crude. Same with the name and logo. The colorful one on the right is more professionally done. However, it was still a little bit crude because of the pixels you can see. Can be improved though.
ReMax. Close up of the former rink.
Google Map. Noticed the soda brand they carried? The RC Cola brand. That was a rare sight to see for a rink since most of the time it was Pepsi or Coke Cola. You can see the colors. All vertical stripes like a circus tent would do. Some rinks did this format. I think there was a series of dead rinks in Alabama did this similar format as well using Red and White colors.
Logo shown proof of when first opened.
Skateway USA 160 S US Highway 60, Waverly, KY
Skateway USA was located at 160 S US Highway 60, Waverly, Kentucky. This rink appeared to recently closed according to ReMax real estate website. It is currently for sale.
Since 1973, Louis Dixon owned and operated Skateway USA. Facebook showed only the logo, no other information or posts. Apparently closed some time ago. Building is up for sale like I said. Apparently .
The headquarters is located at the Henderson, Kentucky Skateway USA location which is about 9 miles away.
It is selling for 472,500 USD which I think maybe a tiny bit more expensive.
The Interior.
Maybe the interior is quite similar to the current Henderson location. Again, their website is down. I have no idea what it was like for the former location compared to the current one. If it is the same, then I will describe that but I need confirmation.
The Exterior.
It is a Free-Span Steel Truss Steel-Walled Warehouse - like Building with Segmental Arch roof. It is very colorful circus-like paint décor. All vertical stripes of French Red, White, and French Blue (more like French colors than American because of the blue. American Blue is Navy Blue.) The sister rink has exact same stripes and colors. All matched.
It sits next to a farm field.
