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.

New Theaters Show, Hospital Benefit Delayed
Provo Daily Herald, 19 August 1974, page 4
Because of recent strikes, the University Mall Twin Theaters, scheduled to open this week, will not open until Aug. 29, according to Bill Hutchinson, manager.
Mr. Hutchinson added that the premiere performance on that date will be a benefit for Utah Valley Hospital expansion. The hospital Pink Ladies are sponsoring the event.
Doors will open at 7 p.m. The motion picture to be shown at both theaters will be "Mame" starring Lucille Ball.
