Super sad that the future generations of kids won't be able to experience the pure magic of these robots. These robots didn't just perform, they represented something important. They never just represented Chuck E Cheese, they represented happiness, family, friendship, and memories. Having it gone is truly heartbreaking.

This is hard to watch. I don't like to think that part of my childhood is being ripped down and destroyed. Bad shape or not, I STILL can't imagine a Chuck E. Cheese's without a showstage and animatronics.

As much as the animatronics fuel my nightmares, they’re still nostalgic to my childhood… I remember peeking behind the curtains and staring at them for what seemed like hours but was probably only minutes. Creepy yet enchanting!

Aw man this location here was the exact one that I always went to as a child when it was my birthday, fond memories I have when I always went on the stage and touch the animatronics and try and get its attention lol. Sad that it's all going away now. 😔

The day that they remove the animatronics from Mentor OH. I’m literally going to cry THEY ARE MY ENTIRE CHILDHOOD.

I heard of someone on reddit that found a headless Chuck E. animatronic in the dumpster behind a location that was being reconstructed. It was a studio c animatronic

They didnt just tear the stage down, but they tore are memories apart

Wow! I was just at the stafford texas location last week! I'm going back tomorrow so I can get take advantage of the animatronics before they get removed. I wish I was here when you where here! It would have been incredible to meet someone who has the same passions in animatronics (rock afire and cec) as I do.

Wow, that has to be the worst condition cyberamic stage I’ve ever seen. When CEC allows their bots to fall into such a state of disrepair, it’s no wonder the kids aren’t interested in them anymore.

This was the location I went to as a child, it's gonna be sad when the Animatronic 2-stage in Stafford is gone.

Chuck E. really did look like he had a doobie before the show lol Helen looked like she had a few rips herself! Nice to see you caught them before the remodel was done

If I ever have kids one day, I will not take them to a Chuck E. Cheese's because of this horrible decision made by corporate!

RIP, I might have been to this location as a kid since I remember seeing a full band at the restaurant.

it sucks that they are taking away all the robots it really takes the magic away from chuck e cheese

You were in my city! I was working at the Weslayan location when they were building the Stafford location, and some of the team members were going to Stafford to train the new crew. I was maintaining the 3-Stage Show in Houston up until it finally closed a few years ago (it was the last of the original ShowBiz Pizza locations in Houston). Houston had a LOT of Chuck E Cheese stores, with a mix of a lot of old ShowBiz Pizza locations and new post-1992 stores (and an acquired Discovery Zone, renovated into CEC in Humble, which had an alpha stage). The other 2-Stage location was in Webster, TX and was converted to a Studio C fairly early on. Not sure if you made it to Lake Jackson south of Houston, but they have a Smalltown Chuck store in Brazos mall which started with the buffet concept and no show at all. They later added a Studio C Cappa show.

It’s sad to see the poor condition of these animatronics and of 2.0 taking over rest in peace the Animtronics I have an idea for CEC they should sell there animatronics on eBay or there own website or send them back to the factory or put them in the private party room instead of wasting them like they weren’t in history SCINE WHEN DID CEC GET A NEW FOUNDER also I think the guy who made 2.0 hit his head

I haven’t been to the westhimer rd store since in almost 5 years I hope to go back before the stage is gone

Damn I left houston 15 years ago and this Stafford CEC was one of my favorites as a kid just the showroom dim and the animatronics singing and the playroom slides and game rooms was amazing, sad to see this go

I'm so sad to see the animatronics go. The business decisions make sense financially. But it sure is going to be a lame shame without them. There's one remaining show in my home state of Michigan. I just went to see them today when I heard the news. It seems like a combination of a road show, and 1 stage with cool chuck. I'm not quite sure. I haven't been in years. But even with my short visit. You can tell the owners and staff care for them very very much. And neither want to let go. We'll see what future is to come for this store.

Even though the 2-stage has Cyberamics and they are cheap and mediocre, it still is my favorite CEC stage, so seeing one in such bad condition and about to get trashed really sucks. Poor guys... they deserve better.

When animatronics die, part of me dies with them

So I went to chuck e cheese that is located in woodlands texas and i was very lucky to see one of these stages a week ago

You can tell if it's a 16 or 32 by the eyebrows. The 32 movements eyebrows pop out more since his eyebrows move. The 16 movements eyebrows are attached close to his face since they don't move.

The circles of lights stage was actually in Corporate stores too!! it was the main stage to be used from 2012 to 2017

That’s a bad kid pop song

At stafford the speakers were there just not by the stage

32 movements top jaws move with the bottom I’m pretty sure lol

I’m going to miss these guys

Can you check out the Circle of Lights stage at Kapolei in Hawaii. The Circle of Lights stage is a pretty unique and probably a very rare stage as it has a dance floor mixed with a circle of lights stage.

Circles of light actually HAS gone into a few company owned locations, of which, I *THINK* only a handful have bots/ It will be interesting to see if the new video screen will be put up on the wall to your right of where the stage was.

hes performing!? i thought they stopped that years ago!

When I went there doing Contrution they were off sad that there gonna go And Awsome video And plus I love the COL Stage

i love chuck e cheese also nice video i love the cec vids

Why don’t they just make a separate dance floor from the animatronics, boom everyone’s happy

I’m gonna try and go this week and get some footage before it’s too late. I hope they were just aired down cause the store was about to closed. If I don’t come here before, I’m afraid I might have to quit KZfaq. I’m running out of content and this would really help.

The 2 stage gone now 💔

Have you visited the Hicksville CEC?

I live in Houston and i went there a month ago and i will miss the stage 2 i love the stage 2

u should go see the road stage, theirs's one in charlotte but it's not in the best area and the stage is pretty bad when they move and half of the time they are in random mode. they are supposed to remodel at the end of this year. I'm pretty sure the best road stage is wane NJ but heard they are remodeling very soon

I would save them if I were there

rest in piece chuck e cheese so sad to see you leave though.

I’m so sad this stage is being removed, I visited this place a lot. In fact, the Jasper in my profile picture is from this location

U should go check out the one in Cherry Hill new Jersey because they still have there's and it still work and all 💯

DUDE I WENT THERE THAT WOULDVE BEEN SO COOL TO SEE YOU but yeah it’s super sad I been going there since I was a baby and those rooms at westhimer are private party rooms i was one of the first few to have a birthday in those

What do they do with them? Throw them out? *with the old show*?

The circle of lights is a 16 movement one

Oh no 🙉 that sucks

I the stage is going to stay like this forever?

4:02 Chuck is a 16m

If a cec is about to get remodeled into a 2.0 can you buy the animatronics? Before they demolish these things cause I’ll gladly buy jasper

Rip cec animatronics

Sad also that pesqualy had a special mask and Chuck had a PTT mask

What location is the circle of light stage Chuck E. Cheese in?

You should visit the Lynnwood, WA CEC!

And it’s The Col Got the 16 Movement At the Houston COL Location

I have the ultimate Chuck-E-Cheese token Collection. I am interested in selling, it contains 6 albums full of just about every token made (multiples of most) including three of the infamous Santa Anna tokens. Also included are some figurines and other items.

This is the end in Houston... I wish I saw the 2-Stage.

And plus I got an idea what if they can make a video game for all platforms and Plus they should put buy ur own store design it how u want and Design the stage and u can pick if u want a one or 2 stage and u can also choose ur own robot for ur stage and Design in how ever u want and also Do missions and restock everything and all just like Grand theft Auto V for the PS4 and it would be cool and amazing

Idol🎇

I don't know if your ever in California but if you are you definitely should visit the La Mesa ca location, its really unique

Yk whats sad kidzbop is more common then a proper show wich is sad 😢

I wish they kept one location that did not replace the robots

one thing is the 32m has the snout move

Can you try to go to the Augusta Georgia Chuck E Cheese they have a 3 stage that's my hometown I grew up there and had many birthday parties there and my mom went there when it was a Showbiz Pizza Place you'll really like it if you go there!!! 😊😉👍

Im sad that there gone

What part of Houston these two Stores at??

CHUCK E CHEESE WESTMORELAND DALLAS TEXAS NEXT

is there a website or something to see which locations still have these? would love to visit one before they are all gone.

i can bearly hear the audio 9:35

This sucks. Reminds me when I went to Chicago and had a 1 stage and asked about it and they are going to be demolished in august. I even offered to purchase them but to no avail.

Their ruining my childhood. This is upsetting to me

You should go to the cec in port orange FL that is probably the best circle of light stage you also could go to the west Melbourne FL location it has the only galaxy stage which is a test stage that came before the circle of light stage

It is a 16M you can tell by the eyebrows

Are there any locations in Houston that still have animatronics as of today?

Dang shame

32 m has foot tap and 16 m doesn’t have it

I haven’t been following this since summer of ‘16. Is the 3 stage extinct nationwide? Probably is by now

Wow really sad

There goes another 2-Stage, hope Lansing won't be next after Stafford, I can't bear to see Lansing's show thrown out into a landfill, never to be seen again, and I'm not letting Grand Rapids' Studio C Alpha go in its current state with Chuck's left eyebrow only able to go up and Bird's mouth jammed open, I'm going to make sure that GR's Alpha is safe when I get a job there, there's no way I'm staying to see a perfectly good stage go and be replaced by a cheap dance floor in the remodel and grand reopening of what used to be a Showbiz location, Novi's Beta is dead from the Grand Reopening of what used to be the last 32-Movement Studio C Beta in Michigan.

Are they planning on auctioning the animatronics off? If they don’t want them, I could imagine it’d be better to put them in the hands of fans who would willingly take care of them.

I hope that the owner of chuck e cheese, can turn the pizzeria to freddy fazbears

Very Depressing

This is terrible. Imagine tearing away your famous robots in favor of a dance floor where kids will do Fortnite emotes.
