#KING PINS LANES WINDOWS#
The Kingpin Queenstown design will, of course, be inspired by a ski lodge featuring generous windows with breathtaking views of Cardrona Ski Field, The Remarkables, Coronet Peak, and Lake Wakatipu. The custom building will house the Kingpin venue surrounded by a number of cafes and restaurants including The Bavarian and El Camino. The venue will be located in a brand-new dining and lifestyle hub. “I think that’s what this neighborhood needs.With a local and tourist community prepped and ready for fun and adventure, there’s no better location for Kingpin’s first venue in New Zealand. “It’s going to take time for it to come together, but, when it does, it’s going to be a true family bowling experience,” Casen said.
#KING PINS LANES MOVIE#
They hope to host “Kingpin” movie parties once they’re back in business. In the meantime, they’re busy running Whovilles, Carrick’s go-to spot for hot wings and cold craft beers.
The couple’s Facebook page has nearly 500 followers since it launched last summer. It was Jackson’s late-father’s dream to own a bowling alley. The couple received contributions and business advice from bowling alleys across the country, including their regular haunt, Mars Lanes in Mars, where Jackson has bowled since he was a child. There’s a lot of work to be done, and if Jeff and Lisa don’t do it, there will probably never be anyone who comes along wanting to do it as much as they do.” “And Lisa and Jeff are probably the only people who have even come close to having an interest in reviving that place. “Carrick is a unique opportunity in that it has been closed for so many years, but everything is still there,” Hong said. “Modern bowling centers are trying to up the ante on atmosphere and the facility - to make them truly state-of-the-art.”Ĭarrick Classic Lanes, he said, has a historic feel and appeal that attracts traditional bowlers like himself folks who don’t want to see strobe lights flashing while they’re attempting a strike. “I feel that recreational bowling today occurs in an environment very similar to a nightclub, with the lights turned down and the music played loud,” Hong said. Technology is overtaking the industry, through the popularity of “glow” bowling, which relies on black lights, fog machines and music videos to attract younger clientele. He’ll continue documenting the history of the sport until there are no more places left to go. So far, he’s visited about 70 venues in 18 states and Canada. Since 2012, he’s been traveling throughout North America taking pictures of small-town bowling centers. Seattle-based photographer Kevin Hong recently included Carrick Classic Lanes in his photo documentary called The Vintage Alleys Project. Black-and-white snapshots passed down to them by previous owners show that not much has changed. They’ve also managed to salvage a lot of the furniture and fixtures that gives the facility a retro vibe. The couple filled 17 Dumpsters with water-logged debris, gave the building a new lid, replaced all of the electrical wiring and plumbing and repaired the complex ball-return and pin set-up mechanisms.
The project has proved more difficult than making a 7-10 split.Īfter years of neglect and harsh winters, parts of the roof collapsed onto the wooden lanes. The couple from Adams Township are working to restore the recreation center - which also houses three apartments and Whovilles bar.
