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.

Moral pollution kept at bay
Deseret News, 15 September 1999, page A12
We recently saw the movie "The Winslow Boy" at the Avalon Theater. We thoroughly enjoyed the movie. We found the story compelling and the acting believable. We also observed nothing objectionable in the movie, which can be said about very few movies today.
We wish to thank the Avalon Theater for providing movies that are entertaining without the moral pollution that infests most of the entertainment media.
