GET your skates on for a trip down memory lane.

Today we’re heading to Rollerworld and Quasar - two popular places enjoyed by countless youngsters growing up in north Essex.

Rollerworld is an iconic Colchester business, providing thrills and spills since first opening its doors in 1990.

Based in Eastgates, it marked its 30th anniversary in May.

Right next door is another long-standing attraction - Quasar.

The laser tag game involves using a gun to fire shots guided by infrared light.

These deactivate the packs of players on the opposing team.

Both places have been firm favourites down the years - as our pictures from the 90s testify.
