“They ripped him in mother f**king half!” Oh my… didn’t know that would be in this 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
That was so funny
Oh what’s up dude!! Nice to see u here! 😂
@plory how I have no video plan
Fatality!
As a kid, I visited the 38th Street location shortly after it opened and many times in the following years. One of the games it had was Battlezone, which blew me away. In high school and college, I worked for Chuck E Cheese on 38th Street for more than five years, even earned a pin and a watch. I worked all parts of the unit, including making dough and pizza, prepping salad, dining room, game room, and I also played Chuck E in costume. In this video, you have a clip of a Chuck E at 38th Street who walks up to the Basketball game and starts shooting baskets. I am almost positive that is a guy named Derek who was hired strictly to play Chuck because he was very acrobatic and could do some amazing tricks in costume. He also loved to play the Basketball game in costume and the kids would cheer when he made baskets. I once made the terrible mistake of getting into the ball crawl in full Chuck costume because I had seen a commercial of Chuck in the ball crawl right before I reported to work. I was swarmed by small children and one monstrously strong boy ripped my helmet off my head and many other stunned kids whispered... Chuck E lost his head. I was also part of the overnight team which stripped the animatronics of their Rockafire costumes and consigned them to the living hell of the far inferior Chuck E costumes, which looked terrible from the dining room and like cheap stuffed animals up close. The original Rockafire skins were Disney quality with rubber which was still pliant and lifelike ten years after installation. I developed decent skills at all the games, but my specialties were Centipede, TMNT, the Hockey game, Air Hockey, and Roadblasters. It is a special feeling to whip your manager at a game of Hockey after hours. A couple of years after my Chuck E career had ended, my friend had worked his way up the Chuck E chain and was now Assistant Manager of the 38th Street location and hired me to cut the grass for a summer in which multiple lawn services had failed them, which was an unusual but mildly lucrative side gig. By then, people were shooting at each other with live firearms in the parking lot over child custody disputes while using Chuck E Cheese as a "neutral" place to transfer kids from one angry single parent to another.
and parents wonder why their kids don't go out. That is no Chuck E Cheese 2.0. That's a straight up new franchise
dawg what
I highly doubt that
I’m happy to see you do a history of all the Indianapolis locations!
Hoosiers unite !! 😂
Those incidents must have been frightening to witness, including the racism allegations. The only time I have been to Chuck E. Cheese's with my family was back in about 2006.
I agree
thank you so much for doing a video on my local stores!!! wow!!
also, the castleton showbiz did have klunk
Rest in peace Castleton Chuck we're not going to forget about you
And greenwood too and the other 3 stages
The castleton one is still opened
@@Mr_Rizzmanhe means the bot
The banquet hall that’s at the old Washington street is still there it just got the front of the building repainted.
This series only gets better
Fantastic video...gives you a brief summary of each location old and new, as well as of the chains themselves. Simply put, you are a true Chuckstorian.
If you ever get the chance one day, could you do a History of the Milwaukee CECs, please? (I know it began as a PTT and had some really cool memories there)
You should do the Clarksville Tn location! We had a rare beta stage that only had 5 or so in total! I have a bunch of childhood photos as well with the sky tubes and more :)
Gosh I remember going to this location as a kid, miss it so much. Never realized how special that stage was gonna be
Also the new Washington street still has the sonic spinner. And they also have 38th street old sky tubes
The Nathan spies lore is expanding
A Pizza Time Theatre DID open, although it was Fort Wanye which only lasted 2 years after opening.
The current Fort Wayne location (The former Showbiz) is my local, or atleast the store i go to the most after Lima, OH closed. The PTT in Fort Wayne lasted from 1982-1984, although i don't think we have ANY information on it.
I love these videos so much and I've watched every single one of them!!! Could I also request a video about the Showbiz/CeC location in Springfield Missouri? I've never been to it, but I've driven past it a couple times and noticed it had the old cool Chuck logo and it apparently has a full band still! I'd love to know the history of it!
Hey, can you do the Chuck E Cheese's I. Columbus, GA? It was one of the 3 Chuck E cheeses that had the Chuckes Make Believe Band (CU-1 Stage) and it was a former Showbiz pizza and it had a Blockbuster Video right next door and a Big Kmart right across the road. And Also, it was my local Chuck E cheese.
I can't wait I love to see ur chuck e cheese video
I'm a huge fan of chuck e cheese
Fantastic video,also I love the background music
Good video. Hopefully you can do Augusta ga history video
Dude your videos were already good for the information but holy cow the music makes them so much better
12:54 it is oversaturating but thats the problem both Showbiz and mainly Chuck E Cheese had. they expanded far too quickly, far too much before the long-term feasibility could be seen and often way too close to other restaurants. I could be mistaken but i think theres literally cased of Chuck E Cheeses and Showbiz pizzas opening literally right next to eachover.
That was probably your best video yet!
This is going to be amazing ❤❤
I loved this video! Could you do a history of the Muncie, Indiana location? It's my local Chuck E Cheese.
Maybe Evansville in or Midland texas
I’d be chill with anything in Indiana since I’m a Hoosier lol. Muncie’s is my local CEC.
@@dopeyanteater117 im from muncie indiana how many cecs in muncie did they used to have did they used to have one on w adams st?
@@user-ee1vs6wt2b I’m not sure
9:39 those photos were taken on my birthday (I am only talking about the month and day because I was not born in 1991)
Wait a minute… THATS WHERE I LIVE!
9:46 that would make a great meme format
*me when I do a smiley face but I’m still mad*
The new CEC characters is Bob the Builder, hehe haha-
Any one else rather have there Chuck E. Cheese close then have the abomination.
so you would rather have nothing than a chuck e. cheese with no robots?
Chuck E. Cheese in Staten Island New York actually has those booths in the last store you mentioned and Staten Island got them in 2012 due to hurricane sandy the building flooded and they received phase 4 wall arts again even tho they got phase 4 in late 2007 but this time got those blue booths and had the wallarts in different spots! I highly recommend doing a history video on Staten Island New York since it has a one of a kind 1 stage!
Ahh yes my state where I'm from Indiana. Hello from Indiana
I’ve been waiting for this long enough
I'm so excited for this
Amazing video Could you do the Chuck E. Cheese and showbiz pizza in Richmond Va it just got 2.0 not too long ago
It was awesome. I missed out though it was fun.
Fantastic work and passion this video, Nathan!
Enjoyed the inclusion of background music.
I HAVE A FEELING THIS IS A BOT IN DUGUISE
BOT
A bot
What’s going on???
@@firewolfkanji17 we thought you were I guess we were worng
Around July 1 (Canada Day) do the Calgary, Alberta location
The Greenwood location is my local location and my dad went their a lot as a kid back when it was a Showbiz The location now is quite lackluster compared to others.
Nice job Nathan is good to see the first episode of season three I can’t wait to watch more episodes of season three I’ve watched every single episode of the history of series and also only GigaChad don’t like 2.0
I remember the greenwood chuck e cheese fondly, it had Jurassic Park with the moveable seat, rush the rock and wave racer then later jamboo safari
These are great videos! You put a lot of work into them and I’m impressed. Keep it up!
YOUR A BOT
BOT
DUDE JUST ADMIT YOUR A BOT
Stop it, will you? There’s no bot.
@@mr.tomraypaz6085don't tell us what to do
I’m happy season 3 came
Wow this was such a good video!
i dont understand why someone said they were going to stop watching the series cuz of the BG music, i feel like it actually adds to the video.
Sorry I missed this, Nathan. I took a quick look at a new house that I'll move into.
Love this, absolutely amazing! If you have any more questions about any Indiana Stores let me know!
44:09 Destroying The Bot Is Not Right
can you do a history video on Houston? It might take two parts because there are 16 confirmed locations (to my knowledge) 4 of them used to be a showbiz pizza and 2 used to be a pizza time theathers memorial dr's location moved to hwy 6 and Antoine rd moved to Westheimer. 1960 with a studio c beta and Westlayan with the last 3 stage both closed in 2018. the two Pizza Time Theather's was one near a 80's Mcdonalds which is now a title max and the chuck e cheese turned into a barneys billard salon which recently closed which is also ion 1960 street in northwest Houston and the bots were sent to the Stafford chuck e cheese's. Now the other one has a more interesting story, after it had closed, it had became a knockoff with a retrofitted ptt c stage, after that place closed i belive it was demolished the address is 12056 east federal. There is footage of banjo billys that was just some information on the old locations that have closed. Edit the banjo Billy’s was not a former cec ptt but got bots from a former Houston cec ptt c stage after it closed and the location was not demolished and is now a eye doctor
here is a picture of the closed bissonet st location i.imgur.com/xonQ3Ne.jpg and the animatronics in banjo billys actually got the animatronics from the famous ogden ut that had the last portrait stage
@@user-dp9co9zb5j and here is a picture of the relocated memorial dr i know this is the location i studied it showbizpizza.com/photos/spp/tx_houston/01.jpg
Sam Circle In VA Haves The Sonic Spinner And it is still there
44:09 rip studio c bot
Can you do some wisconsin locations like la crosse or Madison they had some history
Next can you do Madison Wisconsin. That’s my local cec
I like CEC BUT SBP it the best I love it but they changed mine to billy bobs wonderland and mine still has the rocketfire explosion band I live in WV I really close to both love going
when history of chuck e cheeses & showbiz in houston tx
you dont have to do it but if you want to go ahead
Yes. I was told by employees at a CEC near me that it is actually corporate policy to destroy the animatronics when they get a 2.0 update. I don't know why, and neither did they, but it is so wrong. I saw on Twitter a while ago that Florida is getting their 2.0 updates right now. I dont know how many locations they have, but I cant wait to see them covered on here. Im sure there will be plenty more fights and crimes for you to talk about there.
I live in Indianapolis!! Born and raised. My friend sister asked if I remember showbiz pizza….. no I don’t they all closed in the mid 90s…… I was born in the late 90s ma’am 😐
44:09 let's make this the video's most replayed moment
Okay
Bot LOL 😅
Could you please try doing one for St. Louis, MO? Including for 2805 Target Drive (1981-2006), which began life as a ShowBiz Pizza Place from 1981-91, and then as Chuck E. Cheese's from 1991-2006.
Good job Nathan!
Cool
You should do East Hanover NJ! :)
I remember seeing that og sonic spinner game when I was a little kid it's good to see it again after so long
I'm gonna probably correct some of these:
The Target in the shopping center where the East Washington St SPP was, was in fact a former Ayr-Way and relocated down the road to Washington Square Mall in 1999.
Greenwood also Expanded when they got Studio C and they actually had a typical SPP exterior when it was SPP actually.
Greenwood also expanded when they got Phase 3 in 2000 and got the 2005 Remodel (Phase 4) in 2010.
The old East Washington St CEC closed on December 19, 2011 not November 2011.
48:51 took place in 2022 not 2021
@bryandunn8751 there's a lot of errors on here actually.
oh hey it's the guy who threatened to beat up homeschooled children and leaked their addresses.
@Bryan prime stone yes aito h no sick right now😷 except they aren't
@Bryan prime stone yes aito h no sick right now😷 they aren't though you're just immature
I caught him doing it as late as 2 months ago
Nice video! I was wondering if you could do the locations of Edison and Bridgewater NJ please.
Can you do Charleston WV please I subscribed❤
One day please make the Altamonte Springs location
28:22 So the water incident, pretty much the support beam in front of the Merch Area burst, I got video of the water just running out of the building. But lucky the bot wasn't touched.
Then why did they do the stupid remodel if the bot wasn't damaged
@@user-ii3rv6uy4j Because the store was damaged…
Do a History on a CEC location in Tennessee? And do a Sanrio Puroland history video please?
Do The History Of Chuck E. Cheese Locations In Louisiana Next!
Could you make a video on the history of the Fort Wayne location
I even remembered the castleton Chuck E. Cheese used to have the ice cream machine but now they removed it during the remodel and they even used to have the ticket muncher but they removed it too in like 2022 (last year) maybe
Is there a link to the video of the greenwood studio c bot being thrown in the dumpster?
Hey!, I got a question is it possible if you could do a video of the showbiz pizza place in Kansas city aka the first ever showbiz pizza, also it might be a chuck e cheese now not sure but I'm just wondering!.
Can you do a history Of The Chuck E cheese Oregon Beaverton
Anyone else want to do "chuck e cheese history in silver spring Maryland"? (the two locations?)
OMG AT 17:20 THAT LITTlE DUDE TO THE LEFT I SEEN HIM AT AN ESTATE SALE
They seriously need to stop adding the stupid dance floor to every chuck E cheese location we want the animatronics to stay
As a kid I went to the Chuck E. Cheese in Greenwood. I got older and started going more to the Dave and Busters near by. I knew about the remodel but assuming they would keep the in good condition Animatronic. I was sad when I heard they threw out his parts and installed the boring 2.0 wall. I truly think the CEC entertainment company thinks they are doing the right thing 🙄
Can you do a history of the chuck e cheese In statan Island because it has a interesting 1 stage. It's also my local cec. And its the oldest one stage.
Last time i was there was early 90's then Celebration Station check that 1 out bet not to many no of that establishment they had there own band....also Discovery Zone but that was a huge play course no bands......
Listen, how do we get in touch? I’ve been thinking about this video so much lately, I even talked to a manager that opened most of these stores.
Can you do a history video on the Chuck E. Cheese’s in arkansas??? Or make it into parts like Rodney pharam, north Little Rock and, Shakelford for 1 part and then the rest for another part???
cool
Nice Vid Nathan
How you put the trailer opening in this video?
BOB THE BUILDER, CAN WE HAUNT INDIANAPOLIS CEC PATRONS?
BOB THE BUILDER, YES WE CAN!
Can you do cec video from Florida
Remember. that logo on old Washington street is actually the 1994 logo
And you are supposed to say "sometime between 1993 and 1994"
I still wish you used the word curse instead of abomination
The video's is good I like the bot
Nathan can you please do a history video of the Chuck-E-Cheese in harlingen tx
Can you do Circus heights?
I watch the concept unification of the ShowBiz pizza.
Ive ben to greenwood a few times as it was the 2nd closest after the now defunct columbus in location i only remember going once before the remodle and remember nothing i also didnt know the font was unique nor chucke having his avenger cloths i actally revisit it sevral months ago and its not that great atleast colombus had a studio c cappa before it closed this one just has no bot atleast it being an early 2.0 is somewhat cool
The twin locations
hey nathan could u possibly do a history of chuck e cheese and showbiz pizza in Peoria, ILLIONIS
Good video thanks for sharing
