A most exciting concept in weekend recreational entertainment amusement parks! Ray’s Disco Roller Fishing Park is just a short drive away, so you’ll save on gas! And once you get there, hold on to your hat ’cause here comes the fun!
[ dissolve to a group of adults and a small child on roller skates with their legs in the air, dancing ]
The disco music makes you want to get up and move! And on roller skates, it’s great exercise!
[ cut to group of adults and small child standing on a pier fishing while wearing roller skates ]
And when you fish at the same time, it’s so relaxing your cares just roll away in rhythm!

We rent you the skates and fishing poles; you just pack up the kids, and put a sign on the door that says: “Gone disco roller fishing!”

Every Saturday we have our roller dance fishing contest, with a fifty-dollar prize for the best roller skating couple who catches the biggest fish!
[ dissolve back to Ray ]
Hey, if you like Barry White and whitefish, disco groups and groupers, or a disco bass with bass, come on out! Once you get it, you’re gonna be hooked! [ chuckles ] But, sometimes, the music scares the fish!
[ Ray slips on his roller skates, falling to the pavement ]
Whoa-oa! And sometimes, you fall down!
[ something tugs on Ray’s fishing pole ]
Whoa-oa! Whoa, I think I’ve got a big one! I’d better get up!
[ Ray stands as he reels the fish in ]
Whoops! I mean, get down!
