Rink-O-Mania is a roller-skating rink located in Lenora Hills, California.

History[]

The Rink-O-Mania has been implied to be a popular spot amongst residents of Lenora Hills, with work parties being thrown there. One of these events Joyce Byers attended a party for her new job alongside her children Eleven and Will.

1986[]

On Saturday, March 22, El took Mike to the skating rink with Will accompanying them. At the rink, Angela and several of her friends conspired to humiliate El. Angela takes El by the hand to the rink and skates to the middle. From the DJ booth, the DJ plays “Wipeout” as people begin to skate around El in circles, yelling various insults. As the DJ ends the song, they dump a chocolate milkshake on Eleven. Traumatized, El hid in a storage room, but then emerged and demanded that Angela apologize. Angela refused to apologize and mocked El further, insulting the presumed death of Jim Hopper. Enraged, El grabbed a roller skate from a bystander and struck Angela in the face, causing an injury to her nose as well as a concussion.

After Angela was taken to a hospital to be treated for her injuries, Mike, El, and Will were picked up by Jonathan and Argyle, leaving the roller rink and heading home.
