Fota on Ice

Bacchus

Hey, anyone know what the deal is with Fota on Ice this year. I heard they shut down after some accident last year in Galway? Are they back in Cork this year?
What about that new place Skidz on North Main St? Anyone been there? Heard anything? etc.

The domain name seems to be gone anyway, unless I'm wrong in thinking it was fotaonice.ie...

What Skidz?? I havent heard about this? I have this weird feeling it's gonna be the new 'rough' teenagers hang out.

Bacchus

It's over Dunnes on North Main St. Had a look at it yesterday after work. It's a small indoor ice rink that seems to be very much aimed at children (although) there were some "rough" teenagers there too :eek: . Not really my cup of tea. Doesn't help that it closes at 8pm. Please let fota on ice be back this year.

Yup. Hellish on the ankles, but definitely worth it.

Fota on Ice won't be back in Cork this year after an incident at their Galway event (Galway on ice). There was a freak wind that caught the main tent & blew it into the River Corrib !....company couldn't sustain the loss & went under....a bit like the tent

Bugger anyway.

all work and no play make Homer something something

Thanks be to God that it's gone. It was the single scariest thing I've ever been at. Been crashed into by a 20 stone Kerry man and watching someone's skates go over the fingers of a 4 year old put me straight off it.

It was utterly irresponsible and unsupervised.

The best kind of fun often is.. Hence the phrase "all fun and games until someone looses an eye". G'wan da fota!

Not when there are kids involved and in danger of being seriously hurt.

Personally I'd take my chances

rymus

with that in mind, should we organise a coach trip to Dublin's 7up on ice?

solice

Fota on Ice was such a laugh! I think ill go cry into my pillow now that its gone.

beer enigma

I have two lasting memories from fota....one was being completely ripped off by the ticket prices to take a family there, and the other was seeing a lovely reddish pink stain on the ice from a young fella's accident..........

Good riddance to it personally.....its cheaper (and probably safer) to send the kids out on roller skates round the Kinsale roundabout !!
