Castle Skateland — Attraction in Loveland

The Setup It was a lively Friday night at Casel Skate Land, and the excitement was palpable. As I stepped onto the rink, the sounds of laughter and the rhythmic roll of skates filled the air. But before I could even lace up my own skates, I was struck by a wild idea—what if I could somehow turn this night into a comedic food adventure? Instead of focusing solely on skating, I joked with my friends about “eating the roller skates.”

The First Bite As the night kicked off, I donned my skates and glided onto the rink, still chuckling at my own ridiculous notion. With each lap, I playfully pretended to take bites out of my skates, causing my friends to burst into laughter. “Mmm, these wheels are delicious!” I’d exclaim, pretending to savor the rubbery texture. The more I joked, the more my friends joined in, creating an atmosphere of pure hilarity.

The Skate Snack Challenge Fueled by laughter, we decided to turn the evening into a Skate Snack Challenge. We dared each other to take imaginary bites out of our skates while attempting to do tricks. As I attempted a spin, I dramatically paused mid-move, pretending to gnaw on my skate. My friends followed suit, and soon, we were all rolling around the rink with exaggerated munching sounds. Other skaters looked on, amused by our antics, and some even joined in on the fun, making it a collective joke.

The Snack Bar Intermission After a few rounds of skating and our hilarious skate-eating antics, we took a break at the snack bar. As we enjoyed our snacks—cotton candy, nachos, and popcorn—I continued the theme of “eating skates.” I playfully declared, “These nachos are the best replacement for my skates! So cheesy!” My friends couldn’t stop laughing, and we discussed what other “skate-inspired” dishes we could create. “How about some wheel-shaped cookies?” I suggested, and the ideas kept flowing.

The Roller Skate Cook-off Inspired by our laughter, we decided to turn our jokes into a full-blown Roller Skate Cook-off. Each of us would come up with a creative dish that somehow related to roller skating. One friend suggested “skate-shaped pancakes,” while another proposed “wheely good burgers.” I threw in the idea for “spaghetti with skate sauce.” We all agreed to bring our creations to our next hangout, making it a hilarious tradition.

The Final Skate Parade As the night wound down, we took one last lap around the rink, still chuckling about our roller skate feast. I pretended to take exaggerated bites out of my skates, and my friends mimicked me, rolling around in fits of laughter. We decided to parade around, showcasing our “skate-eating” skills, and we even encouraged others to join in. The rink filled with laughter as more skaters played along, turning our silly antics into a collective celebration.

The Legacy of the Skate Feast By the end of the night, I realized that what started as a silly idea had transformed into a memorable experience. Our playful banter about eating roller skates had not only entertained us but also brought together fellow skaters in a joyful, humorous way. As we left Casel Skate Land, my friends and I couldn’t stop talking about our plans for the next Skate Snack Challenge, eager to continue the fun.

Conclusion Ultimately, my ridiculous adventure at Casel Skate Land—pretending to eat roller skates—turned into an unforgettable night of laughter and friendship. It reminded me that sometimes the silliest ideas lead to the best memories. As we skated, snacked, and joked our way through the evening, I felt grateful for the joy of being with friends and the power of humor to turn an ordinary outing into an extraordinary feast of fun. I can’t wait for our next adventure, where we’ll continue to explore the deliciously absurd world of...

I have some good and some not so good things to say:

First off I want to say that the venue itself is very nice. It's an older building but well maintained and the floor is in pretty decent shape and very large. The staff seems very nice and genuine as well.

Now for the bad....

My husband & I have gone the past 2 Wednesday nights, hoping for a more adult oriented session being that it is a weeknight and the music is "throwback" 70's, 80's, 90's. Well we could not have been more incorrect on that thought. And let me also add that the both of us are very seasoned skaters and I played roller derby for 5 years so I am very good at staying on my feet.

Two Wednesday's ago it was very crowded but the mix of adults to kids was acceptable. I have no idea what happened last night but every kid in a 15 mile radius must have been there. And I'm talking about small kids, some wearing Fischer Price skates! So the chaos.... little kids darting straight across the rink to get off the floor coupled with a constant line of speed skating adults was just the recipe for the disaster pileup that happened. And not a rink guard in sight!!!! After 40 minutes, with my banged up knees and a huge bump on my husbands head, we had had enough and left.

Now if this is the crowd mix that Castle wants on a weeknight then so be it but my husband and I probably won't be back until summer when kids are back in sports and hopefully absent on weeknight sessions. Little kids belong in Saturday and Sunday morning/afternoon sessions.

If you take recommendations, PLEASE...for the safety of your skaters, hire some rink guards. It is impossible to see everything that is going on from outside the rink. The amount of teenagers fixated on their phones while in the rink is unacceptable because they should be paying attention to their surroundings. And if a rink guard had been present the pileup last night might have been prevented. Also, maybe consider dedicating one weekday night to adults only. There are ALOT of us out there that love to skate but stay away from rinks because of what I just described. We recently moved here from the Akron area and pretty much all the local area rinks do adult nights and they are very successful. I never thought I would have to "gear up" to go to...

March 1st 2019 This complaint in regards to the (female Caucasian) owner of Castle skate's Lois Dixon.

My son who is a kindergarten was there today first time visit with his school on field trip. When I arrived I seen my son (who doesn't know how to skate) along with other kids falling on the skating rink. I was frustrated and on level 10 because they have "Skate Mates" for rental priced at $5. I told the owner lady it was inappropriate and a potential "liability" for my son and other kids who don't know how to skate to be out there falling when they should be on "Skate Mates", so I want to rent a "Skate Mate" for my son. The owner lady said "No!", she will not let me rent one for my son unless I rent all the "Skate Mates" for all the other kids also!, then she (owner) proceed to tell me"You shouldn't be here anyway". The conversation went completely left especially after I was insulted for being a parent, not to mention a parent chaperone on my son's field trip. Needless to say my son's first skating experience was ruined because he spent the entire 2 hours falling due to him not being able to rent a "Skate Mate". That owner was very rude, unprofessional, and very discriminatory towards me as a concerned parent and a patron. If my child would have been hurt due to her bigotry behavior she would be answering to a higher level...
