TBH I'm not a fan of when people judge a location solely based on the stage they have. Visalia may not have a good stage right now but the exterior looks really cool and the staff seem really nice. Norwalk has their bots in slightly better condition yet they kick people out for filming the stage which makes them look worse than the stage itself. I've only been to 4 CEC's so I only have the right to judge those 4 and those 4 only.

Which city is this one in? I'll be watching on the 22nd, wouldn't miss it!, but I am so curious and excited to know

@@angelinauy00 Visalia CA

@@jasburger that’s pretty much how I judge all locations lmao

@@S.J.C._Entertainment same lol

It's not that easy tbh

Probably not too many people and their technical department even knew how to work on them because it does take a little bit of skill and there's a lot of moving parts to have to maintain and also having long playing shows I used to work on animatronics at a place called ghost town in the sky Maggie valley North Carolina for the country critter jamboree and our show ran every day that the park was open for 20 minutes to show with only around a 15 to 30 minute rest interval in between shows that would be a good bit of wear and tear

this aged poorly

Maybe even before they became CEC

Yeah that could be too they could also have the air pressure turn down for the flow control valve tighten down so that the air doesn't go in and out of the cylinders as fast to try to make less wear and tear on the bots

all of them do infact

I was just there a few months ago

Lol thats not sad their stage is terrible

thousand oaks isn’t worth it because it’s studio c and those aren’t programmed anymore:(

@@DaMeaun he visited Valencia

@@CyberstarChuck obviously i know that

@@DaMeaun funny thing I was at that one last night

@@Wolfpup748 nice my friend works there

Sadly I wasnt able to get over to HB this trip but I got to visit alot of other locations in the LA area.

@@SetsStreetsEats Well that's better than nothing.

@@jasburger I got footage of Hunting Beach recently if that helps.

@@CyberstarChuck Have they gotten any better or worse? Also good they need an update.

@@jasburger they’ve gotten a tad bit better!

Well according to an article that I ran across last night online CEC is going to phase out all of the animatronics and replace it with the video screen because they feel that the new digital era is more appealing to kids and the original animatronics were meant mostly for the adults in there while the kids were playing in the play areas and ball pets and things but that's kind of goes against what the original creator of Chuck e cheese had intended because I watch the documentary on that and it's really sad to see that they're getting away from their own original creations and especially since they've been around since 1977 But I'm not going to be very happy if they phase out the animatronics and replace everything with a giant 30 ft wide video and dance floor basically because I grew up with the animatronics and later used to work on them once at a different location down in ghost town in North Carolina on the country critter jamboree if I was closer to California I would happily go there and work on these for these guys
