Crap, please don't label this as for kids. It's not meant for kids, it's meant for archival and entertainment purposes.
I have reached my maximum amount of requests I'm willing to take. I'm at 30 active ones currently, so if you do request a location from here on out, don't expect it to be made into a video anytime soon since I already have so many requests I need to fulfill.
@MeekCarolina Number 22.
Ayyyy my chuck e cheese, I used to go here ALL OF THE TIME when I was younger! My nieces had a birthday party there recently, and I was absolutely heartbroken that they got rid of the animatronics. I literally had no idea that this location was THIS old and had such a rich and long history. Thank you for covering my local cec! I really appreciate it.
You're welcome!
Capital Boulevard was my childhood location. I hated when I realized that they were getting 2.0 but by the time I realized it was too late they were already gone and I didn’t know what landfill they ended up so I could save them
NO WAY. my childhood location... such a huge part of my life. i will never forget these animatronics and how much they meant to me when i was little. i cried the day we drove by and they were getting 2.0.
This store has been a part of my life for nearly 14 years. Changed my life forever! Very fortunate to finally work there! Thx for making this video!
I wore that godforsaken chucky walk around suit only once and it was a nightmare!
I was lucky enough to get footage of this stage in 2018, chuck was in pretty good shape.
Hey hey this is the one I grew up going to and working at when I was 16 (my first job ever 😂)
I went to this location as a kid and it was so nice to see the animatronics and the older decor again before the gut wrenching news of them being thrown out so quickly :( if only i had known they were getting thrown out!!!! I also didn’t know it had such a long history, I would have never expected it omg!
I really wished they didn’t take out Raleigh’s 3-stage. And I really hope that some of the animatronics were rescued.
I heard from someone watching the premiere that the 3 Stage Jasper was rescued, but they didn't say who.
@@ItzaRobcan you do durham nc??
@@donnasargent9541 Sure, I'll add it to the list!
The 3 stage in Raleigh was a big part of my childhood
@MeekCarolina It's not, but since you've already requested Gastonia I won't be putting Hickory on the list for now until I've fulfilled your first request.
YOOO!!! This is the location I go to when I was a kid! I had so many fond memories there, I think I had 4 birthdays there, and I have to say this video is amazing!
Amazing video
And the reason why Chuck didn’t have a tooth was because CEC Entertainment was trying out a brand new head for chuck without his tooth, so yes, it’s a completely different mold
Yep that’s right
Ah ok, it's intentional. That's odd but makes sense I guess.
I grew up with the Chuck E Cheese in Virginia Beach on Lynnhaven Pkwy in the early 2010s and unfortunately it got the 2.0 remodel sometime late last year 😢
Nice video! Tbh I like when billy bob guitar goes to jasper because it makes the location unique and i like it and i think it fits him! and uh do you know any cool chuck e cheese locations? or unique? im trying to build one is a construction game to look very unique. for example, the capital location looks unique because is has blue checkers. I'm looking for, Phase 4, Phase 3, Phase 3/Pizza (chuck e cheese pizza logo) the 90's chuck e cheese's pizza (phase 2?) and all of those that have window blocks (those windows you see in garages and stuff, they have some in cec locations) and window bock towers next to them., and that phase 3 with the phase 4 mashup that looks like phase 3 chuck but with phase 4 colors, and the phase 3 colors on the phase 4 logo (yes that exists for some reason), and the colorful checkers on a building.
The 3 Stage location in Charlotte is a personal favorite of mine due to how good the condition of the animatronics are there, but the Asheville location is also cool due to it being phase 3 still.
@@ItzaRob phase 3's are pretty rare where i live
Maybe one day if you haven’t already, or there is actually interesting things about it, can you do a video on the Omaha, NE location?
Sounds good, I'll add it to the list.
@@ItzaRob I just remembered that location had a three-stage before being remodeled to CEC 2.0. This could mean that the Omaha, NE location was once a Showbiz Pizza Place. Not sure if that adds anything.
@@Techeyor_YT It’s alright, I cover any location whether there’s interesting things on it or not.
7 hours late r.i.p
It's ok, you can always catch the next premiere if you're able to!
Video request: chuck e cheese outfits ranking
Hey love your vids did you know i was the 200th subscriber btw?
Yes, I believe you mentioned it in the premiere. Again, that’s cool and thanks for subscribing.
@@ItzaRob Sorry i didint see your resposne in the premier
@@Logan-D_45 It's ok.
Cool to see a history video on my other local! You should add Durham (my main local) to your list, it has a somewhat interesting history!
It's already on the list, but I'll make sure to credit you as well when I get around to it.
@@ItzaRob Oh cool! somebody beat me to it :P
Hi, I'm an NC resident, and I heard it in the beginning...but you pronounced it like Riley. It's pronounced "rawlee"
It's really weird considering the person it was named after, but it's how it goes lol
No hate my guy, love your stuff..just something I noticed
Tbh many people wonder why Charlotte isn’t the capital and I think the same but as of my knowledge in terms of the Korean population, it has been in Raleigh and Durham longer than Charlotte. That’s not the only reason though just one of many and many reasons.
Good old fashioned family K-Pop fan logic
@@spunchbop47428 nope I’m not having it K-Pop related lol. And tbh In terms of the whole Asian Population in general I think it’s about the same situation But I’ll have to look into that more
Can you do a history video on the Chuck E. Cheese’s in Garden Grove California?
Sounds good, I’ll add it to the list!
When I was a toddler in the early 90s, I lived in the "Brentwood" neighborhood in Raleigh, right behind the 3501-131 Capital Blvd location. My parents would walk me up there sometimes as a special treat. One of my very earliest memories is peeking behind the curtain there to see the Tuxedo Chuck at rest, probably around 1993 or 1994. Back in the early 90s, I remember them having a lot of interesting games you never see anymore, like a pneumatic cannon where you shot out a big clown's teeth, or a game where you shot light-projection ducks.
You asked about his face - our Munch always looked a little weird. Even into the mid-2000s when CEC was undergoing a lot of changes, they still had the characters working pretty well. One of my last memories of this location was watching the characters singing "Our Mouse (In the Middle of the Street)". When they removed the showroom walls and put in the sky tubes, the place felt less cool to me.
I also have one memory of visiting a Showbiz Pizza in Greensboro, NC in what must've been somewhere between 1995-1997, so it must've been one of the last Showbiz anywhere. It was memorably more impressive and cool to my child self...
Thank you for this trip down memory lane. It's such a shame that they've gotten rid of the animatronics, this place was very special to me as a kid and helped spark a lifelong interest in games and robotics.
Interesting to hear about your memories at this location! The Greensboro one is interesting. You say you remember it being a Showbiz Pizza around 1995-1997, which is highly unlikely given that all locations would have changed their name to Chuck E. Cheese by then. Did you remember them having the Rock-afire Explosion characters by that point or still the same Chuck E. Cheese retrofit mentioned here?
I live near this store and the converted into the abomination 2.0 I miss the animatronics 😢although the store is alright it’s bigger and better than Durham’s Chuck E. Cheese store😂😂❤
A fellow Nathan Spies fan I see based off that reference lol. I've heard out of the 2.0 stores out there that this one is one of the better ones (though since Northridge is apparently keeping their animatronics that's probably the best 2.0 store now)
What’s the next location?
Altoona, Pennsylvania.
Can you do a history on the chuck-e-cheese in davers ma?
I will probably cover it relatively soon, just not sure when yet.
You can bet they never made it to a landfill, nor were they ever in danger of it. It's a convenient cover story. I'm certain they are in a storage unit in Raleigh waiting on a collector or most likely a dealer to load them up in a couple years.
It's often not one though. Corporate asks them to destroy the animatronics and give proof of it. Now of course some of these destroyed animatronics do find their way into the hands of private collectors and are restored, as was the case for the Birmingham Alabama Studio C Chuck. If what you're saying is true though, it'd be awesome to see who ends up getting them and what they do with them.
@@ItzaRobI had heard from a friend that Capital's bots were from another location but now i have proof. Thanks so much for covering my childhood CEC!
@@codyryan9789 You're welcome.
What took over the old Reigh location after it closed?
A bunch of assorted businesses, since it closed so long ago the original building isn't there anymore.
can you do the Milwaukee location plz I saw the pinned comment so its fine if it takes a while and there is another location called the brookfield location in cheeseepedia but its in the milwaukee area but in cheeseepedia it says brookfield so you have to search up brookfield instead of milwaukee
So is the location in Brookfield or Milwaukee? If it's not located in Milwaukee then it's not a Milwaukee location.
@@ItzaRob Oh wait its in brookfield but on retro pizza zone one user said that it was in milwaukee but it is 10 minutes apart so the answer is no
@@THAIIIGUY Well, I'll still take the request, but it just won't be on Milwaukee since it's not in Milwaukee.
@@ItzaRob Ok thank you!
@@THAIIIGUY You're welcome.
Bruh this is why I love and hate Chuck E Cheese, like wtf guys? They literally removed the reason I (and many others) would go there (we never had any in my country so seeing literally any of them with animatronics is a dream to me) it's like if an amusement park scrapped the rides like the Hell?
Anyone was face the show? Or anyone can find the show in landfill??
Can you pls do Wilmington nc
Yeah, I'll add it to the list!
THX
@@Showbiz.pizza.3756 You're welcome.
Can you do Gastonia next
In North Carolina?
Yes
@@Smradford Alright, I've added it to the list.
The best youtuber ever
@@Smradford That's very nice of you to say, but there's definitely better RUclipsrs out there.
Anyways can’t wait to watch 🥳
It’s not riley its Raleigh(rah-lee)
At least the dance floor is cool
A dance floor WITH the animatronics could be cool. Just the dance floor replacing the animatronics isn’t cool of them.
@@ItzaRob nope it’s not
@@ItzaRob I like this dance floor better than just the screen
@@gwenmloveskpopandmore Well you're entitled to your opinion but they're destroying animatronics for these things. Kids will never know of these cool animatronics and instead be staring at a dance floor while they're eating. While I don't think a dance floor in conjunction with the show is a bad idea, making it the whole thing to replace a show doesn't make sense to me when the animatronics have given lots of kids many memories over the years, and to just chuck them in the trash and destroy them is a terrible thing to do to them. This was even the initial concept for the dance floor, having it be a side thing WITH the animatronic (not in the same area but still.)
@@ItzaRob yeah I know it’s way too sad and stupid. I hate their CEO. and plus more kids nowadays are scared of the animatronics (my little half sister being one of em) but yes it’s sad cuz they only know dance floor. I just meant to say I like this version of the dance floor and better than other versions
It’s pronounced rah-lee
It’s RAleigh not Releigh
You're the third person to tell me this but the first comment to do so. Thank you, I'll try not to make this mistake again.
It’s ok @@ItzaRob
