Scottie's Skateland in Quincy will add a two million dollar family entertainment center to its skating rink.
It's the oldest family owned roller rink in the United States serving the community for over 70 years.
Scottie's Skateland will be the first in Illinois to feature an interactive three-story foam unit and the first in the Midwest to host Lazer Frenzy.
The addition will be 15 thousand square feet and is set to be built on the west side of the property.
More attractions include bumper cars, mini-bowling and an arcade.
A groundbreaking ceremony was held this morning where we caught up with the Jeff Scott, the General Manger.
Scott said, "One of the trends right now in roller skating is to add a lot of attractions and it's something that's needed here in the community.
A lot of roller skating rinks are surrounded by schools and so-forth but we are outside, we have plenty of room to grow and we expect to do that."
The addition should be completed by November and a go-kart track is also in the works.
