Abandoned Bowling Alley with Power | Urban Exploring with Freaktography and Forgotten Productions
Here we have an old abandoned bowling alley with power!
See the whole photo gallery here:
www.freaktography.com/abandon...
I explored this old bowling alley with Craig from Forgotten Productions, they had discovered and explored it briefly a few months before but never got a proper explore in, until now when we returned.
Reading the reviews online of this abandoned bowling alley, it's no surprise that is has been closed down! Many reviews complain of terrible food, terrible staff, overpriced food and drink and many more complaints.
The bowling alley had 24 total lanes with 12 upstairs and 12 downstairs as well as pool tables on both floors.As we explored we noted that there were light switches in a back control room and when I flipped one on the disco balls lit up, all 3 of them!
As I continued to flip switches I was able to turn on almost all of the lights which made for a much easier explore and better quality video!

There’s an Input directly into The mixing rack I’m I live And breathe sound tech I know a lot about Mixers and And audio equipment The next time when you want to explore an abandoned bowling alley, I will be willing to come and help you guys out with all the sound tech technology that you find in an abandoned bowling alley @freaktography .

[@robinbuckeye6841]

I was a Brunswick mechanic for many years. The machine you found at the beginning is the oiler, which strips the lanes and oils at the same time. The scoring system looks like the Brunswick 2000 system, with the color monitors. Yes, the ball racks were missing from the approaches but all the power lifts, at 3:02, were still left there. I used to sell those for $500 each. The pinsetters are Brunswick A-2's, which are fairly common and highly available these days. I loved working on those machines. Excellent video!

[@whatif9858]

I know everything about audio equipment and I was laughing my butt off when you were trying to get the microphone to work lol

[@jacobrostron1864]

I’m the same and it’s just so frustrating to see them try it

[@TheKurtsPlaceChannel]

Great video. Thanks for posting this. Have a nice day.

[@Freaktography]

Thanks, you too!

[@dandrews1894]

Another twist in 9-pin: the pins are set up in a diamond formation instead of a triangle. The pins are white, except for the center pin, which is red and is known as a "12-pin" or "redhead." If a player knocks down every pin in one turn, they are awarded 9 points. However, if they manage to knock down all the pins except the red pin, they are awarded 12 points, as this is a much harder feat.

[@Freaktography]

Ahh I see. Thank you

[@TheJaxxx13]

I like your energy you put into your content. Thanks for making these discoveries interesting!!!

[@katzfam1089]

The red pin is if the red bowling pin shows up in the #1 or headpin position and you strike you win free games, money, food. Usually used during free bowl at night

[@mommageri3824]

Another great place!! Thanks for sharing..

Colored bowling pins are for things like games or events you put one colored pin the machine and it's the head pin and you get a strike you win a certain amount of money those as well basically the same thing with kid games or stuff like that it's been awhile since I've used them so don't know the technical name of the game anymore

[@patsaunders525]

I really enjoy your video's and they way you film them; with that said I was hoping for a bit more info on some of your finds. Did you see a switch on the mic you were trying to get working? Looking forward to more abandoned places.

[@theseamstress6315]

That was fun, you keep ragging on my Carlo😊

[@Freaktography]

Hahah I bust balls with those I love the most

You said “it’s always cool when the shoes are left.” How many abandoned bowling alleys have you been in??😂 Neat explore. Carlo missed out. ❤️

[@Freaktography]

I've been in 4 or 5

[@brendablystone5115]

That was awesome 🎥 very 🆒 place to see

[@richardwells6945]

Would love to have that Kegel oiling machine and salvage the pinsetters!

[@sealance]

No difference with a red vs a white bowling pin. Usually if it's in position 1 you had a chance of winning like a cup of coffee etc if you knock down all 10 pins (varies between centres ofc). The ball elevator is still there even though the ball return is removed.

[@Freaktography]

ah thanks for that

[@rochelle7775]

So how did you get the lanes to come on unless you've been a bowling alley mechanic before just wondering you would either have to do it from the back or the front counter

[@Freaktography]

The lanes were off and ball returns removed.

[@rochelle7775]

@@Freaktography I've been in the bowl of business as a mechanic for about 23 24 years they look like Brunswick A2 machines but I haven't seen a good enough shot of them to know exactly I also saw on the boat lifts there were hubs and belts so I'm wondering if it's just a cover from the ball lift is missing because the motor would be Underground

[@rochelle7775]

Correction ball lifts... and bowling business. Sorry

[@maryrosaryawood7852]

Why is it abandoned when it's workable yet ? I was once a champion in Oregon and, Japan.

[@Freaktography]

thats a very good question!

[@marthariddlegarcia2991]

Hello Mary. Fellow Oregonian here, from the capital city of Salem. My son and ex-husband were both on leagues at firebird lanes and my son was on his high school bowling team. I don’t think they even have school leagues anymore.

[@alishiahardman4945]

Hello Dan! Sargient here in full force! Be you! Do you! Stay positive! Live a little! Moe sent me! Great video! Be safe! God bless!

[@thatguy4862]

I own a bowling alley. The machine is a lane oiler but, it does clean the lane

[@rochelle7775]

I've been in the business for 25 years as a mechanic and there is five pin bowling not very many places but it happens

[@Freaktography]

Its big in Canada

[@dontravis7608]

The machine with wheels are Lane Cleaning/Oiling machines.

[@Freaktography]

Thanks for the info!

[@TheWheatley]

3:20 That thing is what they use to oil down lanes. The oil is what helps curve the ball in a “hook” shot

[@mikemack6013]

bro the lane lighting controls were just ABOUVE THE PA SYS ON THE LEFT AND YES I KNOW THAT PA SYSTEM ALOT OF MONEY

[@Freaktography]

wow thanks for the info

[@martonevarita]

Wow! I use to make toys for kids to the camp or charity-evening by recycled materials like nine pins of Coca-Cola bottles (half filled by water) and a ball, or skittle bowl with my bottles and a hanging tennis ball or handball. I like this place with lights on! Good video and nice find! How could you get on the frozen shoes without broke them?

[@Freaktography]

thanks very much for the comment

[@rollingstoned2590]

That machine you we’re looking at with wheels is the machine that puts the oil on the lanes

[@cloudgodliam4765]

Is this rodeland bowl in burlington ontario? If not you should check it out, id love to tag along im an 18 year old from hamilton and recently just got into exploring and i have a few locations to my knowledge. Great video -Liam

nope its not

Five pin bowling is the bomb !!!

[@Freaktography]

Thank you

[@sassysue6472]

I love pandas! Used to collect them. Those socks rock😁. Nice find. Too bad it's closed-seems like condos are the big thing to build. I'm wondering who is going to live in them! Everything is bulldozed in for.......condos.

[@upsd70ace]

I’m surprise you never check the machine because sometimes they’re hooked up because they look like in perfect condition I had to just go to the back and find the switch to them and then boom you don’t have to set nothing up

[@donaldklawon5375]

Red pins are for rainbow bowling if it is the head pin in the front and u strike u win usually a dollar if u strike

[@NateCraven318]

3:19 That's the lane conditioner. Puts oil on the lanes. The oil helps advanced bowlers to slip the ball as it curves toward the pins. They curve, or "hook," the ball to hit between pins 1 and 3, the area for a perfect strike. I myself know how to hook a bowling ball. It's quite simple, actually.

[@browntrousersmoment]

Let's see video of you hooking a bowling ball.

[@katzfam1089]

How come you didnt go behind the machines and look at the pin setters and bowling paraphernalia?

[@aydengaines3924]

If i was a bowling alley owner i will never let it go like this bowling alley like not let go away

[@letaloudone]

You should have showed the pinsetters in more detail! But znother good video thanks!

I like bowling I like Glow-in-the-dark bowling it’s fun evolved all the different bowling Alleys actually A bowl for fun I live in Canada and we do have five five pin bowling it’s actually easier to do Pin .

[@tristantaylor3154]

I have finished for this year

[@katzfam1089]

thats the oiling machine they put up and down the lanes everyday. I bowled league and semi professional 194 avg

[@reedaharris236]

Where is this bowling alley located at?

[@catz_crazy6672]

That machine was probably also for oiling the lanes

[@marthariddlegarcia2991]

I’m not positive about this, but the 5 7 might be referring to the 5 7 split.

[@Freaktography]

I have no idea what that means lol

[@marthariddlegarcia2991]

Freaktography, if you look at the pins as a triangle with the top point being the number one pin. Each one are numbered, so if you throw you first ball and knock down all the pins except the number 5 pin & the number 7 pin, that’s called a 5 7 split. It’s one of the easier ones to pick up because there’s only one space in between them where the 6 pin would’ve been. There’s your bowling 101 lesson for today. Lol.

[@kieranbricker3278]

Where is this

[@fabio40]

Centre Bowlarama in London???

[@salimali7093]

The closure of the bowling alley based on the narratives were due to bad reviews/complaint about terrible and overpriced food and drink, staff attitude and many more. But the Administration actually can improve on those complaints by hiring professional to restructure the management of the bowling alley. It could probably takes months to see the results, but it's worth it in the long run. Or maybe it was found to be expensive and not worth it. But the most spectacular part was the bowling competition between Freaktography and Forgotten Productions. I was expecting Freaktography for an upset with the nice bowling shirt, shoes and the killer looks. But unfortunately it did not happened. Anyway I enjoyed the videos with good presentation as always. Thanks for the tour.
