Fun fact: the technician here that works on the show, Kurt, has been maintaining them ever since it was ShowBiz. Oh and that custom USA guitar was actually done by Kurt in the 80s!

Huntsville is the best cec you can go to. Glad you saw it.

When this place was Showbiz they had a train ride that took you a round the game room. And the show room was inclosed like a theater. I remember this place. Thanks for showing us.

Fun fact: the Flint location in mi stage is actually in storage because the manager didn’t have the sole to throw them out. One of the higher ups a Cec told me that. I hope they still have plans to make the museum.

The birthday kid is so cute

This is the best kept 3-stage I've ever seen. This one in particular is unique as there are many customizations here that aren't found anywhere else, such the front of Munch's keyboard, the paint job and sticker on Jasper's guitar and PizzaCam! The animatronics here seem to still be in good shape. Hopefully someone out there can take them off CEC's hands. But at the very least it's thanks to people like you and other KZfaqrs like Showbiz South to document these stages before they disappear for good.

I have great memories of Chuck E Cheese here in BG when I was a kid. I remember a big cheese tunnel that was under the animatronic band. Sad that these are disappearing and that my kids won’t get to see this magic. Great video!

Nice to see you went, here! This is such a great CEC, location, and tje stage is taken care of so well, by the tech!

This is such a unique and well kept stage. Thanks for the awesome footage!

Beautiful content, i'm pretty sure that when you was a kid, you usted to go on these place, thats why all the love you have for these thingsss❤️

What a great stage! Good video

So glad you got to see my old work stompin' grounds! Tons of memories in that building! I was there the night the gameroom wall was removed for the expansion out to the side of the building! 2011, I think! We opened that 2nd half of the gameroom that Christmas week, I think? Love the video!

I grew up with this location. Sad to see the animatronics go. When I was a kid, the band still played covers and had completely different voices. I hope someone like Smitty comes around and preserves a set, but that seems unlikely

Showbiz/Chuck E Cheese, skeeball, pizza...these are a few of my favorite things ☺️

This was my place when I was a kid. I saw this place in Huntsville go from Showbiz to CEC in 1990. I had a lot of Birthdays right there as Showbiz Pizza.

by the end of the year, the following 3-stage shows will exist huntsville, al augusta, ga boise, id west des moines, ia billings, mt charlotte, nc fargo, nd altoona, pa dallas, tx richmond, va there is also an alternate set up with retrofitted rockafire mechanisms, where they're all consolidated onto one stage called the cu-1 stage. those are in springfield, illinois, whitehall, pennsylvania, and columbus, georgia!

I didn't know there was 22 3 stages in North America............so sad because there used to be more than 200. Such crazy how CEC destroys everything concerning animatronics to ""entertain the new generations"", not even leaving the mechanisms alone, they got to destroy them as well !! These characters were not Chuck E Cheese's, they used to be Rock-Afire's that could perfectly be sold and preserved as they used to have nothing to do with CEC's characters. Its such a shame that new generations will never be able to know about the show in Chuck E Cheese's and instead being forced to dance in a stupid shining little dance floor with a 100 million TV's playing the same stupid kiddy songs forever........ I loved your video so much !! Needed to vent about this """"amazing"""" idea on how to make Chuck e Cheese's better than ever !!

That Three Stage looks Amazing. When they started Shouting Chuck E Cheese, Helen Moves were …I don't even know.

Awesome Vid

Just saw this video. I love it! If you’re ever in the Wisconsin area, you should check out the La Crosse, WI location.

The video that started it all

It's crazy seeing them have a working Pizza Cam! And the black variant at that!

Oh yeah you should have asked them to let you go in the tech room there's a crap ton of Showbiz Remnants like the orange carpet, the gray box control system, and even a poster from Showbiz with Fatz Geronimo Himself on it

Jasper’s got a red, white, and blue Beach Bear guitar.

My store in Oklahoma city had a studio C beta up until last year when they removed it

my second local was granada hills california, I have alot of memories since 2007 (when i was born)

You should come see our store in Pineville NC! We're right outside of Charlotte, our 3 stage is in great condition, and we're the last 3 stage to have the Munch Junior character!

R.I.P. to Huntsville, AL's 3-Stage

the only thing I miss are those 90s skeeball machines, they got removed

The sad aftermath behind this stage was that all animatronics were sent to Showbiz Pizza Time Distribution Center in KS, and were saved, and used for spare parts in other 3 stage locations, but sadly, the pizzacam/looneybird wasnt so lucky, the mech was destroyed and tore apart viciously as an act of vandalism, however, the rare plastic retrocam cosmetics was kept by an anonymous collector, the same collector actually owns the building mech and cosmetics that was in the backstage, and some people said the wink was taken by someone, or it was another location that had the painted wink.

Just heard Huntsville got rid of their wonderful 3 stage last night for the 2.0 remodel. :(

1 and 2 Stages are still relatively easy to find. 3 Stages are hard. Road Stage very few left and most are in the process of remodeling. Studio C Alpha is getting harder. Studio C Beta are most common. Those are the major stage types that would need visited if you wanna complete that goal.

I went there last weekend!

Had a lot of fun memories going to the chuck-e-cheese in flint mi

this one just got the 2.0 remodel. RIP

Well at least we have Billy Bob’s Wonderland

I went to this Chuck E. Cheese 3 stage location and they still have all the old games, animatronics, and even tokens!

I’m going to get the show they have one day

DUDE! that’s The Location That I Live Near

I drove 3½ hours from New Jersey to Maryland just to see a 3 stage and it was really cool. There is another 3 stage about 3 hours away in Pennsylvania I'm going to see next time I have a day off of work and school. I'll do all of that to see the animatronics but once they're gone, I'll never go to Chuck E. Cheese again.

All Chuck e Cheese’s are going to be getting a remodel to where they won’t have anymore animatronic bands and the dance floors are taking place of the band’s

Chuck E Cheese used to do covers in their segments but unfortunately they lost the money to do that with the last time doing it back in 2014 I believe

@Sets, Streets & Eats Hey, Chris, you should make a video of yourself visiting Chuck E Cheese where I’m from next to Turtle Creek Mall in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. That’d be great of you if you could do that. Plus, you could see the animatronics in there. The animatronics at the Chuck E Cheese location where I’m from has changed.

That’s the same Chuck E. Cheese where I go to

This Stage Better Get Saved, Because if it gets destroyed, I’m gonna do something you don’t wanna know.

This used to be a Showbiz Pizza

Now 2.0

From what I've heard, and I could be completely wrong, but a few locations will not be receiving the remodel! Leaving the animatronics on stage! Huntsville is said to be one of them from as far as I know, which if so would be awesome since the stage is doing very well! There are a few adjustments needed to be done here and there but it's a great show otherwise!

Rip Huntsvilles great 3 stage 😢

Aw man, I wish I was American so I could see one of these. We unfortunately don't have animatronic shows here in Brazil and I just happened to become an animatronic lover... nice! And even though I kinda dislike Munch's Make Believe Band and the one I truly love is The Rock-afire Explosion (I even made a mural of them on my wall), I wish I could at least see a CEC 3-stage, or in the worst cases, a cyberamic 1 or 2-stage. Anything but Studio C, fuck that stage. Anyway, nice vlog! It's nice to see this show well preserved, since a lot of them are in horrible condition. Lots of love!

Is there a place you can go to find a list of the remaining 3 stages?

I saw you at comicon yesterday but I didn't have the chance to say hi

You should go to the Phoenix AZ Chuck-e-cheese it's 3 stage is in perfect condition!

What happened with Hellen? Is the tech playing tricks

here is a fun fact buddy they have had the same genral manager and technician since they opened in 1982 they are also one of the last chuck e cheese to have a pizza cam they also have a collered wink and i have sad new my local 3 stage in tallahassee fl got aproved for the remodel last week son in a couple months they are gonna take out my local 3 stage and my 3 stage was 1 of three 3 stages to of never been a showbiz pizza

Awesome Video!!😎👍 Also I have a question, can I use some clips from your video in one of my Hidden Secrets videos?🤔 I will give you credit in the video & in the description!👍

I wouldn't be surprised if it's closing. That's very dead for a restaurant. I grew up with this restaurant. I was born in 2002. Was a very fun place to have birthday parties.

They took care of these cu stage

Do you know if there is any animatronics left in Colorado chunky cheese stores?

Official Request - Shopping at the Last Blockbuster Video on Earth / do it on 04/24 between the hours of 1pm and 2pm

went saturday!

Darn shame they are so cool

5:10 this was so funny to me because most of the places that have this birthday track they would close the curtain with chucky behind it (at least from what I saw)

I can’t believe they’re destroying the animatronics that’s so sad

The animatronics at the huntsville location will never get removed because the owner wantw to keep it they will Never remove it

But beautification started in 1991 not 1989

*keep in mind the last Blockbuster Video is in Bend Oregon. And please do it between the hours of 1pm and 2pm on Apr 24 2024

It’s not called a exoskeleton it’s called a meck
