Spring Broke

The title says it all. Spring broke. (It should be broken) Anyways, Spring Break One and Spring Break Two were two weeks that were incredibly busy for PrimeTime. THANKS! It was so busy that it broke our blog. Broken in the sense that nobody had time to write a new blog. But hey, you were too busy playing to read a blog anyway.

Again, thanks for everyone that spent some of their break at PrimeTime. We always enjoy your presence.

True Bowling vs. Wii Bowling

Recently I read an article in Bowling Center Management that compared and contrasted virtual bowling on a Wii and going to a bowling center for actual bowling. It was interesting enough to create this post, so here we go...

The article breaks the debate down into a few different areas, beginning with the physical aspect of each. Believe it or not, Wii bowling burns aproximately 3.9 calories per minute. Not bad for playing video games! On the other hand, when you head to PrimeTime to bowl, you will burn about 7.2 calories per minute. That's 432 calories per hour. Nice! Of course, it's not like running or cycling, but burning 432 calories while bowling... psh, count me in!

When debating Wii bowling vs. true bowling, it's important to note the social aspect. Head to PrimeTime and bowling with many others, it's way better than sitting by the TV alone. Think about this: say you begin a game at PrimeTime with nine strikes. The center gets quiet and all eyes are on you. Do you think you would feel the same if you nailed nine strikes in a row at home on the Wii?

I'm not saying don't bowl on your Wii. I'm just saying don't be satisfied with it. Let Wii bowling kindle a fire inside of you that leads you to PrimeTime for some real bowling (man, that sounds so inspirational).

The article I read said 7.2 calories per minute, but I think that may be a little high.

St. Patrick's Day

St. Patrick's Day is the official national holiday of Ireland celebrating Saint Patrick, one of the patron saints of the country. American's and Australians celebrate Saint Paddy's not because they are Irish, but because they probably wish they were! First celebrated in 1761 in Boston, the United States has joined in the tradition of the holiday.
Of course, we all know what St. Patrick's Day really is: a great day to go to PrimeTime to have a good time! (Check out St. Pat to the right. He looks like he may be related to St. Nick.)

Come in on March 17 to enjoy a great deal. Here's what you get:

7 Major Attractions (choose from: Go-Karts, Lazer Tag, XD Theater, Bumper Cars, or NASCAR Simulators)
3 Hours of Non-Redemption Games (any game that doesn't give you tickets, or a prize)
Unlimited Bowling
Unlimited Mini-Golf

This deal may not be shared. Each individual in your group must purchase one.
