A group of us went to visit the new AMF bowling centre at Villawood. You can tell it's still quite new because everything is still nice and shiny, spick and span clean, with the exception of some scuffs on the walls that I suspect have something to do with the schoolkids that go there for school 'sport.
It has 26 lanes inside, standard Brunswick system by the looks of it, and they now have a action replay video in grainy black and white on the lanes so you can see how the pins get knocked over in the last second before the caddy comes down.
The area is quite well arranged into the old space of the Warehouse shop. One side is the lanes, the middle is the arcade games and cafe, then on the other side is the Bar and the M9 Laser Tag facility.
We hung around for a while because one of the group missed their train since it was early than the timetable. While we waited, I put some of my AMF game tickets through their counting machine and I managed to jam one of them LOL, so I had to get the rest done in the other side of the machine, and ended up with two tickets, totalling 213 tickets. The prizes were pretty crap for what I could get, so obviously I didn't redeem them for anything.
I took some photos during the session, and I converted the ones during bowling into black and white, while the 'arcade' ones are still in colour. They are on my flickr as usual. The set stream is here:
