No proof, but I think that their short lived popularity is what killed roller rinks. Everyone wanted to inline at the roller rink, but you can't really skate slow in inline's - so they eventually banned them. So everyone wanted to inline, but couldn't do it in the rink so they stopped going. Then a lot of them closed before the popularity waned.
