Yeah the carpeted players area wan't a brilliant idea... I was a bit concerned about the lack of rails and the low light levels around the steps leading down into the players area, I could imagine a few people taking a tumble there. Also, where were the ball racks, have there been any installed yet?
Having said that, the seating was really great, nice open cafe area to watch the lanes from, the coffee kicks butt over any AMF centre I've been to and the staff were all lovely.
