First look: Rockefeller Center unveiled its new roller rink, 'Flipper's Roller Boogie Palace'
For the past few months, the Rockefeller Center’s Lower Plaza has been under construction. Now, "Lower Plaza” probably doesn’t spark much name recognition among New Yorkers or, well, anyone reading this article. No one calls it that. Everyone calls it the, because for a few months, that’s what it is: a glorious place where New Yorkers and visitors alike glide under the Christmas tree all bundled up.
But, back to that construction: Today, it’s finally finished, and Rockefeller Center is ready to unveil a concept that aims to match the magic of its winter counterpart:Yes, Rockefeller Center now has a roller skating rink. Its floors are made of tile, its walls are mirrored, and smack-dab in the middle of it all is a hot-pink-and-white logo.
As she glances around the plaza which, on a warm spring day, is bustling with people craning to take a look at the rink below, it’s hard not to feel bullish about Flipper’s possibilities. “A year ago this place was a ghost town,” Ross says. “It feels amazing to bring this joy to the city.”
