General
Information about Sun Valley Lanes:
Why is it important that I don't go past the foul line?
[Most people don't realize that
we actually apply oil to the lanes surface every
single day. The reason is simple,
friction. If we did not oil the lane, then the
bowling balls would 'rip up' the lane due to
friction. Walking on a bowling lane is like
walking on ice. It is extremely dangerous and
should never be stepped on or injury may result.
]
Why is
important for my bowling shoes to remain dry?
[The sole of all bowling shoes is made
out of some type-form of leather. This allows you to slide when you
release the ball. If the leather gets wet, then it becomes extremely
tacky. Since some 'damp' spots are difficult to spot, bowlers are
encouraged to remain in the players area during competition. Regardless,
all bowlers are encouraged to 'test' their shoes before making a delivery, if
they have left the bowlers area, or believe their shoes may have gotten damp.] What is the lane made of?
[Sun Valley Lanes has AMF HPL
Synthetic Lanes installed. These lanes replaced the original wood lanes
starting October 1, 2004.]
When did Sun Valley Lanes open?
[Sun Valley
Lanes opened on December 27, 1977. At the time,
the bowling center was done in the stylish 70s colors
of orange and brown. Today, the center is neon
pink and neon blue, with a variety of complimenting
colors.]
Is smoking allowed in the bowling center?
[Currently, Sun Valley Lanes is
smoke-free, in conjunction with Lincoln city ordinances. Anyone wishing to
smoke must go outside of the building, and bowlers are not allowed outside in
bowling shoes (regardless if they own the pair of shoes or renting them, as
gravel attached to the shoes could damage the approaches).]
Does Sun Valley have bumpers for kids?
[ALL of our lanes have 'automatic
bumpers' availability. The auto-bumpers are state-of-the-art and
another Sun Valley exclusive. These bumpers have the ability to
have the bumper available by player.
This allows families to play together on one
lane. ]
How do I join a league?
[In general, new leagues
will begin in August, January, and May. If you
are interested, please email
us.]
What is Xtreme Bowling?
[Xtreme Bowling refers
to bowling when the pins and lanes 'glow' under
blacklights. At Sun Valley, we normally offer
two type of Xtreme Bowling events - Xtreme
Boogie Bowl and Xtreme
Saturday Spectacular. During Xtreme Boogie
Bowl, the glowing lanes and pins are complimented with
special effect lighting (including lasers and
strobes), fog, and music. The music will vary
depending on the type of Boogie Bowl event (retro,
teen night, college night..). During
Xtreme Saturday Spectacular, you will not only be able to dance and bowl all
night long, you will also have the chance to challenge the Big Kahuna.
Defeat the monsters and you could win big bucks!!!
For over 13 years, we offered a Saturday night program called
Xtreme
Moonlight Madness. Due to the popularity of music while bowling, Xtreme Moonlight Madness was discontinued during the fall of 2004.
An extremely popular event, Xtreme Moonlight Madness is still available to full
center rental events, by request. ]
