So, will bowling alleys have lanes that are straight or will the
lanes account for the coriolis effect?

If you learn to bowl in space, how will your game change if you play
on Earth?

Seems like it would depend on a couple of variables... How big is
the station? How is the lane oriented to the station wrt its
rotation? (spinward, anti-spinward, or with or against the ... is it
"moment of inertia"? )

Interesting thoughts for sure. How would the movie "Gleaming the
Cube" be different on a space station?

Bowling in space will be like Bowling in the French Alps:

Hashing is a kind of running for people with wild senses of humour....

If you think bowling would be fun, try racing motor
cycles. Every time you change direction, both the
acceleration forces experienced ( velosity dependent)
and coriolis forces would change. Hey, this could make
the Indy 500 passe'.
