Roll With It is a roller rink featured in the series Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur. It is the place of work for Moon Girl and her family who own it.
Background[]
It is not known exactly how the place came to be, but as far as anyone knows, it was always owned by the Lafayettes who put all their love and hard work into keeping it up. In the premiere episode "Moon Girl Landing", the rink, as well as every other business in the L.E.S. was at risk of shutting down due to the power outages caused by Aftershock. Thanks to Moon Girl, Aftershock was defeated and the rink and all other local businesses were saved.
The location was the center in "Run the Rink", where Lunella was tasked with holding it down while her family was out for the day. Out of boredom, she attempts to make "improvements", only to cause a mess and accidentally destroy Adria's prized turntables. Calling upon Casey Calderon, they turn the place into a one night only event to meet Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur so that they can earn money to buy new turntables. The ploy works, but starts inviting villains such as Instantanegirl, Man Baby and finally Gravitas who has a score to settle with Moon Girl. Gravitas lifts Roll With It into the air, but Lunella manages to defeat him and return the rink safely to the ground.

Trivia[]
- In the comics, Lunella does not work at a roller rink, but she did attend one called "Boogie Down Roller Rink", with her collective group of fellow inhumans called the SAD SAKs.
- In real life, the Lower East Side possesses numerous roller skating rinks, though the majority of them are outside establishments, while Roll With It is an indoor business.
- The Lafayettes owning a roller skating ring is a nod to the history of African-American businesses. Roller skating rings are often tied to black history and were integral in expressing their freedom.
