    I remember going to Chuck E. Cheese's in Kansas City, Missouri when I was younger in 1998, But sadly, The location is closed in 2007 until it get demolished, But the Chuck E. Cheese's location was relocated to Skyview Ave, Kansas City, Missouri in 2008, to have a Studio C Beta stage. It lasted until 2017, when they removed Studio C Beta stage to replaced by Dance Floor.

    This place holds a special place in my heart. I grew up going to this ShowBiz Pizza / Chuck E cheese in Kansas City as a small child all the way up through probably 11, 12, 13 years old. This was my ShowBiz Pizza. My grandfather would take me it seems like every other weekend to this place, in fact he jokes around today and says I should be the owner I've invested so much money in that place from taking you so much lol! I know it's not there anymore, but every time I drive by there I can still see it in my mind connected to the Antioch shopping center I had a lot of memories there as well.

    There is Actually a New CEC in Kansas City, Located on 8809 State Line RD, it was a former Peter Piper's Pizzeria. It opened with the 2.0 but however, with less than 30 games, No dance floor, small space and Lack of Skee Ball, It was known as the Smallest CEC in the world, Beating Long island city, NY and Durham NC

    I’m from Kansas City and moved to Topeka Kansas when I was around 5. We now have the newer gen Chuck E. Cheese without the animatronics, but about 10 years ago they had the rock a fire animatronics with the Chuck E. Cheese facelift band. I’m not sure if the Topeka location was a showbiz or not but as a kid I loved them. Sad that they’re gone.

    Great video. I can’t remember which location it was, but I remember hearing that in some point in history that there was a Showbiz location that had both an RAE and a WP5 in the same showroom. Idk if the information is valid or whatever, but the thought of two nearly identical bands in the same location is interesting…

    You should have mentioned that this was originally gonna be a Pizza Time Theatre; it was gonna be Bob Brock’s first location (remember, Nolan Bushnell had Brock under a franchisee contract). The shipped the animatronics (either a Shelf or a Balcony Stage), and Brock didn’t like they way they looked, so he contacted Aaron to make animatronics for him, and the rest is history. That’s why this location has a PTT Cheese Crawl from opening until the 1988 remodel.

    7:28 The Dook animatronic from Rockafire came from Snaps Blast to the Past, but when that place burned down sadly in 2010, the animatronic mechs remained intact, so they were sent to Chris Thrash. It is unknown what happened to them afterward as they might be in Thrash's workshop still. Then Dook was sent to Rockafire, and then when the bar closed, the animatronics were sent off to fans. These locations are near from where I live actually!

      Dook came from Snaps Blast to the past, which burned down in 2010. When they were going to be sent to the bar, Aaron probably had Dook after Chris Thrash took the mechs from Snaps, they were in good condition actually!

    I used to go there. A friend of mine assistant managed that Chuck E Cheese right before it closed, we had fun with that. We discovered the.arcade tickets also worked at the Stations Casino arcade machine but we got busted suspiciously feeding a coat full of stacks of Chuck E Cheese tickets into the casino so I never got the bike or PlayStation 1 I planned on getting.

    Yes the Boomis animatronics were there at the bar but for a brief time only. The owner (forgot his instagram name sorry, I think his name was Cannan?) posted pictures of the endoskeletons of the helen, munch, pasqually, and I think warbelettes but can't remember for sure since this was years ago and his instagram became privated. They were located on a high platform to the very right of where the Rock-afire animatronics were.
