Ritz Cinemas
West Valley City, Utah
Carmike Cinemas opened the Ritz Cinemas and Hollywood Connection Family Entertainment Center on 20 November 1998. The 165,000-square-foot complex was part of an “entertainment mecca” which included the Hale Centre Theatre and the West Valley City E Center (now the Maverick Center.) In addition to 15 movie screens, the Hollywood Connection included a carousel, roller coaster, bumper cars, miniature golf, skating, arcade, restaurant, ice cream parlor, and laser tag. Carmike's goal was to have enough entertainment under one roof so families wouldn't have to go around town.

Leak means it's curtains for theater
Landmark closes doors as some report gasoline cleanup that started 3 months ago isn't working
Salt Lake Tribune, 17 November 2007
Article Summary:
The Casino Star Theatre closed Friday. Efforts to vent the underground gas leak instead boosted the level of toxic fumes in the theater. Although the Utah Department of Environmental Quality had found no evidence the fumes posed and immediate health threat, Lori Nay said, "There's no way we can be open with any good conscience."
