UCF on Ice

Thursday, December 3rd, Light Up UCF’s ice skating rink was open for free to all students from 12-3 am.

A fun, free night for all, or a 2-hour wait on a line that wrapped around the arena? Many students were willing to stick it out in order to get their night on the ice, but others gave the huge line the cold shoulder.

Students were found in small groups and couples, and all seemed very excited to get out on the rink. Light Up UCF has an ice rink, an ice slide, a carousel, a ferris wheel, and of course Christmas lights adorning every tree and lamppost.

It truly is Orlando’s very own winter wonderland. Unfortunately this free event only lasted 3 hours and from now on students will have to pay full price to get their skating experience. It seemed like all UCF students enjoyed their time on and off of the ice, and this event made for a memorable winter season.
