2001 Roller City

Hands down this is the worst skating rink in the area. The floor is a death trap, with big chunks of concrete missing throughout the rink. The bathrooms are even worse than the floor, if that is even possible. The doors to the bathroom stalls do not close, if they do close they do not lock. There is never any soap in the dispensers to wash your hands. The owner is rude and acts like she is doing you a favor to skate in her crappy rink. The exterior leaves a lot to be desired as well, the parking lot has giant pot holes and speed bumps larger than some mountains. Be careful of you have a low profile car. The spaces are not clearly marked. Bottom line take your money and your time elsewhere!

So sad to see everyone complaining about the looks of skating rinks. There is almost literally nothing they can do. No one has the money to re-​do any of them so they just sit slowly decaying. Breaks my heart. Keep going regularly and maybe they can get back to their glory days. Have fun with your friends and family and stop staring at the cracks in the wall and the outdated style. Tell your friends. Don’t be such a weenie.

I was an avid skater in the 80s so I was happy to find out this place was still opened considering it usually looks empty outside.
Starting with the exterior, my average Toyota was scraped underneath by a wickedly wide speed bump almost directly in front of the entrance. The spots are jukey with random holes so choose your spot carefully.
The interior is outdated but at first glance, doesn’t look too bad. The ladies restrooms are really horrible. There are old toilet seats which were all down and no seat covers! You have to lower the cover to be able flush so that’s twice you have to touch them (with toilet paper of course). The toilet I used was leaking at the handle. And I was thrown off by the sinks being in the common area between the mens and womens restrooms.
Skates are available by mens sizes only and as expected, are not in good condition. There are plenty of $.50 lockers but not all are functioning.
Besides the gross restrooms, I was shocked at the condition of the rink. There were bumps and gaps that looked dangerous to me. To pay for skating, I would expect a safe, smooth surface. Reading management’s comments, the floor was apparently resealed in 2015 but I’m not sure what that entails. Why not smooth out the bumps and gaps and then reseal?
There were a lot of kids which was dangerous for everyone as they were skating slowly, constantly falling or skating against the flow. And they have long, carpeted steps that can be tricky to maneuver for beginners.
The music made my session a lot less enjoyable. There was a lot of inappropriate rap and the guy taking requests didn’t bother to play any requests. The employees were nice but the «dj» was young and already made up his mind as to what songs he wanted to play. Kid friendly pop would’ve made it a more positive experience for everyone.
I only had drinks from the snack bar so all I can say is do not get the slushie. It was the most generic flavor possible and left a weird feeling on my tongue. I ended up getting a pink lemonade-​much better!
This place has potential but without making the necessary upgrades, they will remain known as a dump. I love skating so I’m already researching better facilities.

This rink just celebrated it’s 35^th anniversary, and boy its getting younger looking each year! I don’t know what they did to their snack bar recently, but it looks like a full blown restaurant.
They fixed the floor surface, so it’s like skating on glass, and their birthday packages are lots of fun.
It’s very nice to see the same owners, all these years, take so much pride in their services. It’s a safe & entertaining way to get the family out of the house for some good-​ol-​fashioned exercise and a reasonable price!

It’s a big rink, the employees are nice but the place is ghetto. Can they not update it? The parking lot is bad and makes a horrible first impression. Inside is so old and gross. The bathrooms are disgusting. The stall doors don’t even close properly. They don’t have soap in the soap dispensers. Just gross. Two hours was too long here!

Came here with my kids. Spent $ 60 to get in and $ 30 at the snack bar. The nacho chips were stale and the kids didn’t eat them. The kids requested 4 different songs and were told they would play them if they had them. All from the most popular artists. They never played a single song requested and we spent 3 hours there. I finally went to the DJ booth to find out what the problem was and the owner didn’t even know who was running the DJ booth. No accountability what so ever. They played one song at the end but didn’t even finish it through. It was a very slow session with no more then 15 skaters on the floor, so no excuses for their service. It’s no wonder it’s not busy here. To make matters worse the kids woke up with Flu’s which were later diagnosed with mouth, foot and hand disease. The doctor said it was probably the dirty facility and skate rentals. High fevers for 2 days! Normally we go to Holiday Skate in Orange, which is well worth the drive! Won’t come here again!

I was really hoping for something better after skating at Epic last week. The only positive about Roller City 2001 was that the rink itself was larger, however, the uneven floor was polished concrete (?) and a bit slippery at times. The bathroom was gross. They had just opened for the first session of the day and there was toilet paper in only one stall. Most of it was on the ground. The sinks were outside of the bathrooms and only one of them had soap in it.
We got pretzels to snack on and they tasted a few days old too.
I likely won’t be returning.

The floors are dangerous! We did have a good time but there’s so many bumps in that floor it’s scary! It’s in need of a remodel for sure and I think a lot more people would come back. I also wish they had the walkers with tennis balls for braces for beginners like the newer rinks have. There was a referee they called monster Joe who needs a serious talking to also. Dude I don’t want to upgrade my iPhone to the upgrade that isn’t even available to September please stop bugging customers with this seriously and take no thank you as an answer and don’t keep going to our whole group of 4 adults. At least he didn’t bug the children because well they don’t have phones. Very unprofessional, go work at Apple not the skating rink please! Oh and the groupon they have is slightly misleading because their large drink is only a small anywhere else. I can’t imagine what their small looks like it must be a shot glass.

This place needs some upgrades! Seriously! The chairs are broken (wobbly), the round carpet seats are dirty, and the actual floor is bumpy. It needs better staff as well, I was rudely greeted at the door by these 2 ladies, exclaiming when the next session was and talking to me in a condescending tone. Like yo, I barely walked in & you treat me like this?

The floor is TERRIBLE! I think it’s the original floor from 1979. It’s dangerous and needs to be fixed properly. I just had my daughter’s birthday party there today and they had to clear the skaters from the floor due to the roof falling onto the rink. (One of many hazards.) I’m not sure what was worse the roof that clearly leaks often or the bumpy floor with crappy repairs. For the price I would take my kids to a newer rink that puts a little more pride into the establishment. I spoke to the manager and asked for any type of compensation and he said sorry I can’t help you. This is definitely NOT the rink I used to skate at when I was a kid. This unfortunately was a big disappointment.

This place is a blast! Yes some of it is outdated, but we still had a great time, listened to great music and did not have to break the bank finding someone for a family of 4 to do together. Heck a movie costs more!

Absolutely love this place. I signed my daughter up for classes on saturday mornings, and to help her advance a little more, I brought her to one skate session on a saturday night. We enjoyed it so much that we now come wednesday nights, friday nights, saturday nights and sunday nights! We also have gotten our friends to now join us. Great prices! My only advice to management is that your referees do a little bit better on controlling the people choosing to stop on the rink floor or skating off the floor in the wrong direction. I saw someone take a nasty fall because of it. But the overall experience is good, and a great family activity to do. For that I give this place five stars! Fyi to those fancy taste people… this place is a little rundown, the rink can use some work, but if you can look past it all, you will have a great time!!!

Absolutely ridiculous management. For you to treat your customers like trash is very disrespectful. I will make sure everyone knows how terrible this place is being ran. Don’t you ever disrespect children who are helping run YOUR business. I was forced to give this place one star even though they deserve NONE.

Took my kids here last night well worth it great atmosphere, great prices, my kids loved it only thing is the restrooms really need to get re done they have like 1950 toilets lol… overall great place will definitely come here again 4 stars because the restroom

So I’ve been coming here since i was 10, and when i dont feel like skating I just go to watch and hang out, never had i had to pay to be there, so i go tonight and i tell her im just gonna hang out and say hi to some friends and leave since i had something to do. I was not gonna be there for longer then 20 minutes so she lets me in, i go in and then an older guy comes in and says if youre gonna hang out you need to pay $ 9. I told him i wasnt going to skate and that i was leaving soon and he said i had to leave now so he escorted me out. Made sure i leave like if im some criminal. Next time ill make sure not to go at all. They probably just need to pay rent on this old dying place before they get shut down. And i understand if i was there the whole night id pay the $ 9 but really for 5 minutes beforei was kicked out. Thats ridiculous.

I had my sons 8^th birthday party there yesterday and it was extremely stress free except for the fact that the food took 20+ minutes to be brought to us each time we ordered a pizza. It wasn’t the guys fault. He was hosting 4 parties all at the same time on his own. They need more staff, but the staff that they do have are super nice and attentive.
After booking my party then reading all the negative reviews I was a bit worried that this place was going to be a nightmare but it was perfect.
I want to go back with some of the ppl who went with us yesterday so we can skate with our kids. I wanted to skate but I was hosting the party so I had no chance.
They badly need to redue the restrooms though, that is a must. The skates are pretty old like the other reviews stated but what can you do.
We will be going back to skate soon.

Tried a new rink and regretted it. This place is so sad, so old and it just NEEDS A MAJOR FACE LIFT and BAD! I will never come back here. The rink is worse than skating on asphalt. The prices are just ridiculous. You have to pay for nasty ass tap water, and the bathrooms probably have more bacteria than the toilet water in their 1990 toilets that so badly need to be replaced. The best part about this skating experience was that noone else was really there so we had the rink to ourselves. However I will drive the extra 20 minutes to go to the skating rink in orange next week as usual.

Took my kids here to skate.
We had a good time but this place needs a serious facelift. Seemed a bit pricey for a facility in such a dilapidated state.
Hopefully they will do some upgrades and get this place looking more respectable… otherwise I can’t imagine it going the distance

When my sister suggested that we go skating, I was a little apprehensive at first but I’m so glad I didn’t chicken out. Skating is such an old school activity for me, and 2001 Roller City made it feel good.
2001 Roller City plays good tunes, has cool lighting, decent snacks that aren’t very expensive, a huge rink, and cute skates. The children’s roller skates actually light up!
I stopped by on a Saturday for the 1pm session and there weren’t too many people there but just enough. Cost was $ 8 for admission and $ 3 for skate rental.

My 9 year old boy was roller skating here for the 1^st time.
I haven’t been roller skating myself since the stone age… so when I came here with my spouse and kiddo, I was in need of some practice again. Luckily I got the hang of it pretty quickly and was able to skate fast once again. Within no time, I was beating my spouse in a race around the floor, and my kid even told me to slow down!
This skating rink has that 70’s retro look (sadly, the only thing missing is a DISCO BALL), but my kid didn’t seem to mind one bit.
We paid $ 33 to get in on a Friday night… $ 8 per person just to go inside + $ 3 for each of our skates. We choose the old-​fashioned skates with the 4 wheels on it, not the «cool» blade ones. We were there for 2 hours.
They have a skate shop, snack bar, and pool tables inside. They do sell skates here, but I suggest you buy them elsewhere for much less.
I could care less for the organized games… Four corners, skating backwards, and skating limbo… NO GOOD.
1ST: I cannot skate backwards that fast anymore, and my kid could not do it either.
2ND: As for the limbo, that is something I once did at the beach and not with skates on (seriously).
3RD: The four corners game is even sillier than the limbo. I wish they would just stop with this! Let people skate on their own without any abrupt stops! Someone is gonna have an accident here.
They did play such good music though, that the next day I downloaded some of the songs on my iTunes!
I plan to bring my son to the free class on learning how to skate — held on Saturdays.
