Whereas in the US more than 1000 roller rinks are still existing, has in Europe the number of rinks died out since at least the end of the rollerblade boom in the late 1990s. Only few operators of recreational facilities offer rollers skating in their venues, often only during dedicated times. Most roller rinks or clubs with roller disco skating persist in the UK, but also in Germany, The Netherlands, Spain and Ireland the skates can be laced.
