Top 10 Ways for College Students to Play at PrimeTime For Free

So, here goes...

(10) Invite your not so bright friend with a gambling problem. You know, the one who bets on the Redskins against the Cowboys. Have the loser (i.e. the guy who bets on the Redskins) pay for everything.

(9) Click on this link for Buy 1 Get 1 Free Mini Golf Coupon and sell them for a dollar each.

(8) Start a fund raiser for under-privileged college kids. In fact, you can donate to PrimeTime Kids by clicking this link: PrimeTime Kids.

(7) Put up a flier in the dorm for free dorm room cleaning for a limited time. Then you clean their couches for the limited time it takes you to find all the loose change.

(6) Convince the dean that Laser Tag and Go-Karts should be school sponsored sports. We even have a recording from the 2007 Laser Tag World Champion to help plead your case.

(5) WWJD? Bring a kid that has some fish and bread. Help out in the kitchen for a whilem and we'll give you 5,000 free passes.

(4) WWBBD? What Would Bugs Bunny Do? Dress up as a baby, and get in a bassinet and knock on PrimeTime's front door. Attach a note stating: "Please take care of junior."

(3) Write our next blog entry and get a $15 PrimeTime gift card.

(2) One word: barter. Notice, this may only be done with the owner of PrimeTime. Go find out what he likes, and see if you could trade with him. Ya know, maybe a 65" LCD for a year of free bowling. It's worth a shot.

(1) Legally change your name to PrimeTime Rocks. This will entitle you to five days of free bowling, two medium soft drinks, and a life size cotton candy sculputre in your likeness. (Maybe a little fluffier).

If none of those sound appealing (or even possible), I have an idea. You could just come on college night and bowl for two hours for only $6.00. Yes, yes... I know it is an incredible deal. It starts at 9:00p every Monday. Don't forget your college ID, and you have to have four on a lane.

Prices and Value with $700 billion


The economy these days is a pretty interesting thing. It seems like everything is so unpredictable. I don't know if I should go out and buy 100 shares of McDonald's stock, or if I should stuff some cash into a can and bury it in my back yard, and then go to McDonald's and eat. But then again, I can't go to McDonald's to eat because I don't have any gas. Man, those gas prices are coming down, but they have a long way to go before I can fill up my tank. Remember the good ol' days when you could fill up you tank without emptying your wallet? Now the government is stepping in with their bailout plan. Sure, it won't solve everything, but it's going to help, right? I don't know much about the bailout plan, but what I do know is that $700 billion is a lot of money.

Let's break it down and see what $700 billion would get you at PrimeTime.

Bowling during the week: $1.99 per game.
You could bowl 351,758,793.97 games with $700 billion dollars.

Bowling on the weekend: $18.50 per lane, per hour.
Let's just say you could bowl for 4,319 years, non-stop.

Miniature Golf: $5.50 per person, per round.
That's a lot of golf, but you will never beat Tiger Woods.

Go-Karts: $5.00 per person, per race.
You could race enough to drive to the sun and back, and then halfway back to the sun. (I realize you can't drive to the sun.)

Kiddie Go-Karts: $3.00 per child, per race.
Lot's of happy kids, fo' sho'.

Batting Cages: $1.00 for 12 balls.
You would hit enough baseballs to fill up the PrimeTime building, 477 times.

NASCAR Simulators: $5.00 per person, per race.
Over 700 million laps at Daytona!

Lazer Runner: $5.00 per person, per round.
Our vests would have to charge for 388,888 hours to accommodate this Lazer Runner adventure.

XD Theater: $5.00 per person, per video.
The entire population of Nigeria (140 million) could ride once.

Bumper Cars: $2.50 per person, per ride. You and seven of your friends could ride 35 million times. (Better take some Tylenol).

Billiards/Shuffleboard: $6.00 per hour, per table.
You would use at least a semi-truckload of blue chalk for your cue stick.

It's no lie, you could have a lot (a whole lot) of fun at PrimeTime with $700 billion dollars. But then again, you can bring a few friends and just a little bit of money, and have a lot of fun too. See ya soon!

The 33 Event Package

Let's set the scene here. It's Saturday afternoon. Your family is in town, and you want to show them some fun in Abilene. Someone suggest PrimeTime, and you agree that would be great fun. But you think to yourself, 'It may be a little difficult to organize our group of 10 and have fun together.'

Have you heard of the 33 Event Package? It's the perfect solution for this situation. With the 33 Event Package you get a PrimeTime party card, loaded with 33 events. For the purposes of this card, the event list includes: Adult Go-Karts, Kiddie Go-Karts, NASCAR Simulators, Laser Tag, XD Theater, and Bumper Cars. You take your card and your group to your venue of choice, tell the event attendant how many want to go, and he/she will swipe the card that many times. So with the card, you get 33 swipes to split between your group and the events you choose.

The 33 Event Package will work perfect for your group because of the flexibility. Since you get to split it between any size group (up to 33 people) any group will work. For only $99.95, it's a great value, since it makes each event only $3.00 (they are usually around $5.00). Bring your small group out to PrimeTime, and purchase your 33 Event Package today.

(Please note, your 33 Event Package will expire the next day at midnight.)

Fall Hours Of Operation

Summer has come and gone. Bring on the Fall, the football, and the school. By now, everyone is back in the swing of things and school is in full force. Homework, sports practice, and the daily schedule, but come on out to PrimeTime when you are ready for fun. Before you come, check your clock, because PrimeTime has gone to its fall hours of operation. The current operating hours are as follows:

Mon-Thurs: 3:00p-12:00a
Fri: 3:00p-1:00a
Sat: 10:00a-1:00a
