00:00Hi, I'm Theo with Manchester World and I'm here at the Trafford Palazzo today to try
00:05out Archie's Atomic.
00:08So Archie's Atomic opens next week, we've been given an exclusive little sneak peek
00:12just to show you around.
00:13The roller rink looks great and even though I've not tried it since I was 10 I will give
00:17it a little go but I won't show you enough that I feel embarrassed afterwards.
00:20There's also a great range of arcade games and the Arena Game Vault which looks like
00:25a really exciting sort of version of the Cube, so I'll give that a go too.
00:28I'll try out some of the food and milkshakes and I'll let you know what I think.
00:31So Archie's Atomic opens next week at the Trafford Palazzo and it's an all new sort
00:35of exciting event room arcade type thing with lots of great options to keep you busy.
00:40We'll start off with the food because Archie's is known really for its food and its quality
00:44milkshakes so they've got me trying a couple of things here.
00:48There's some cheesy jalapeno tater tots which were one of my favourite things I think, cheese
00:53and bacon loaded fries, a massive cheeseburger and a Cheeto chicken burger too.
00:58They're all great, so are the milkshakes, obviously, really really thick.
01:02And then in terms of the arcade they've got tons of great options from skeeball to sort
01:05of quad bike racing to this great interactive game vault which is a bit like the Cube, you've
01:10got tons of little things that you can play with on the floor but then the main event
01:13is the roller skating.
01:14Now as I said, it's been a long while since I've tried this so they did have someone sort
01:19of talking me around.
01:21So you've seen a little bit of me skating, it's probably been a little bit awkward, I've
01:26not done it in 10 years and I've not fallen yet so touch wood, we'll be fine.
01:33Hopefully you don't think less of me for seeing that.
01:35So it's been a little while since I've been turned pink but here we are.
01:39The lighting in here is very colourful, very very bright in the same way that Archie's
01:42always has been and what this really is is just a great space to entertain whether it's
01:47having a go on the roller rink itself, playing the games behind or sitting in some of these
01:51great booths and spending time there with your family, there's a lot of great things
01:54to do here.
01:55So come down, give it a try and let us know what you think.
