I heard Billings doesn't want 2.0 since it's one of the only/the only full animatronic show for a while. They also don't have a tech, but the General Manager actually does a brilliant job on keeping them working when they have the time to work on the show. Nice video!

Wow just seeing all these mountains is a beautiful sight to behold.

Anytime you’re in Florida and want to see a good Studio C alpha with working curtains, be sure to let me know! I’m the GM of the East Orlando location and we take great pride in our store and show! (I enjoy your videos too!)

One more thing I forgot. At some locations they use to turn Dukes drumhead inside out! One location was Wilmington NC. That’s the only one I can remember but they did do that at a few of them.

Thank you for videoing your experiences going to see these shows. I hope that you have a wonderful existence.

Wow, nice that you got to see some 3-Stages. Also i love the games they have in Billings. There used to be more of the Swirls in Different colors but there's not a lot of the Orange ones, which originated on the 3-Stages

These stages are both great! It'll honestly suck if they're gone at any point I'd personally recommend trying to save as much as possible to preserve as they are history! If you do, then I wish u the best of luck with saving em! :]

man i miss the one i grew up with in dimond point ,MD. they had mostly all the orginal pictures including the drive in one and an orginal 2 stage witch where vary well maintained and tooken care of

i love those black and white feathers. the style feathers that were used more on the early 90's helen henny puppet. used on mitzi bot. i love that helen cu outfit. with black and white feathers. i love purple along with mitzi purple eyelids eyeshadow.

Billings is a very beautiful stage!

Amazing video keep it up your amazing

Awesome man And I'm glad that you saw the 3 Stage there before they go and get destroyed

Cool you went to West Des Moines, it’s very good condition and one of my favorite 3 stages. Also you went to Billings Chuck E. Cheese it’s a very good store and cool stage

One of the items on my bucket list was to see the chuck e cheese and/or rockafire explosion animatronics in person. Hopefully when the time comes a fan out there will let me see theirs.

You’re awesome , love your videos ! Cheers from Milwaukee

Great video man! I was at the West Des Moines Chuck E. Cheese’s last month and I’m really happy you got the chance to see it too!

You should go to the CEC in Northridge, CA, it is really rare, has showroom walls and the old showroom sign, you should really go!

If you are ever in the Pittsburgh area again you gotta check out their CEC. It has a unique bot, it's a 32m with a 16m head. Warren, OH is also really great and is about an hour and a half from Pittsburgh. It's a 32m Beta that hasn't remodeled since they opened. (They updated the exterior though the interior is the same)

I've heard that CEC corporate has given some people tours of their location in Texas before, they have some cool things there to see, you should see if you could have an opportunity to go!

great video

WOW, A 3 STAGE THOSE ARE HARD TO FIND AND THERE SCELETINS ARE THE ROCKIFIRE XPLOSHIN I don't have a CEC where I live :( but I'm still a kid and if u looked at my history the only thing u would find are animatronics hope to build one one day your are my fav KZfaqr keep up the great work I will watch every vid forward like i have

🅒🅞🅞🅛🅒🅞🅞🅛 vids! Keep on going!

You may have noticed West Des Moines Iowa was missing the stage left and right curtains. That’s because it was sent to Darien IL’s location for their unique studio c beta on a 3 stage. And also, I heard Billings Montana is a franchise location. I could be wrong about this but franchise locations might have protection from 2.0 remodels and may potentially make it beyond the 2023 deadline. I heard a rumor that Billings doesn’t want to give up their 3 stage.

I love your videos! You should totally consider going to see Dreamfactory in Switzerland (if thats possible for you, it is very far from you), its an amazing museum of all sorts of entertainment things and magic and has lots of cool vintage pieces including the rockafire explosion!

Actually that drumhead is also the one in the concept unification installation tape lol

retro rock-afire explosion show. thats different yellow fur legs on mitzi bot.

yea i got bad news billings was just bought by corp and they are gonna remodel next year also i belive west des moines is still around. also west des moines has ould early 2000's random movements

please go to the one in lynnwood washington!!!

38 hours? Jeez. Good luck man

You should check out the CEC in Midland, TX. It’s an under filmed store and has the last Studio C Beta/Alpha mix stage. You better visit it soon since all Studio Cs will no longer be programmed on September 19th this year.

As far as I know my local Chuck E. Cheese still has the Rockafire animatronics that were reskinned into the CEC characters (I’m from Omaha, Nebraska). It has the winking Chuck E above the stage and the miniature TV. It’s really cool to get a glimpse at what they looked like before concept unification.

14:48 “Stars in the Sky” from Sonic 2!!!

Another thing about 3 stage shows is the animation they use for these bots is very simple compared to what creative engineering used to program for them too! These bots can do so much more then what their corporate turned them into 😢

The drum head on that stage is not one of a kind or two of a kind it actually is the original drum head that was at all of the locations. Because when the stages got concept unification this drum head replaced Dukes explosion drumhead on all the stages. I have nick names this drum head the “knock out” drum head because it looks the squiggles and stars above a cartoon characters head when they get injured in old cartoons. This drum head actually ended up at all locations and the road stage and the two stage and the one stage. Then some locations got a new drum head that looked more like dukes original drum head but the background was blue and the explosion was red. I saw this in Roanoke Virginia. After all of that they went back to Dukes explosion for everyone which was weird to go back. But now lots of locations just cut out plastic and put it in the drum head. Some use plastic from the ticket blaster! I guess kids much damage the originals and then they don’t have anything to replace it with so they make their own. But the one at Billings is still the original from right after concept unification which is very cool! I have been to Billings and does Moines. Fort Collins use to have this drum head before they closed and I went there too.

damn I'm moving from Pittsburgh to Seattle and about to do the same drive next month

You drove from one side of USA to the other side?

Are there any cec locations left with original cec bot cosmetics?

Billings actually get their bots from a closed Showbiz to let you know as they're recycled. The location opened on 8/6/1984 (August 6, 1984). Billings is also Franchised as well. West Des Moines opened October 13, 1980.

I still love going to chuck e cheese but I miss going there

Like you channel

I saw Heldens eye lids Close

What are they going to do with that old drive in picture from 1993? I hope they still keep it!

I wish you could save one group of theses guys

The CEC here in Amarillo has their animatronics. I don’t think they’ll be getting the 2.0

I wanna buy a CEC 3 stage & modify it with a studio C Chuck. Pipe dreaming ofc

On second store munchs eyeball screws needed a little love 😢

I love that I didn’t release that he was stopping at the Chuck E. Cheese that I grew up at

We might have a gig for a company,fly to Pittsburgh from Phoenix then drive back ughhhh 🤦‍♀️never did a cross country drive,any takes on this drive??? Help lol

38 hour road trip? I don't think I could ever drive that far in such a miniscule number of days! 20:47 I don't know if you noticed but in the vid when you visited the Huntsville, AL CEC, the wink was still working

You need to check out the chukee cheese in altoona pa and it’s a three stage before it gets ripped out

What stages are left in California are you planning on visting? Is there a list?

The 3 stage in west des moines is actually the oldest rock afire show with it being a beta rock afire show the last of it's kind

I'm pretty sure not all cecs will get 2.0 and I'm assuming there will still be 3 stages

Corporate is testing out a new show control system that sadly won't be compatible with the Studio C control system, which is why Studio C will no longer be able to run showtapes. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that the reason for the new show control system is because the cost of shipping out the show DVDs to every location with a stage was getting too costly, so to cut costs they are trying some new system that doesn't require shipping anything out to locations. Sort of like Bluetooth maybe?

are u going to nyc comicon?

i really really love his beard

I'm still feeling sad about the animations too as well

Go to Chuck E. Cheese’s in Charlotte NC

This stage was running good for being 40 years old just looked like pasqually needed a neck fix honestly

Hi im your biggest fan can you do paramus nj chuck e cheese

Do you made videos about stages at Chuck E Cheese?

I'm upset that they are doing away with these animatronics... because they were the backbone of CEC!!! They are killing off something from our childhood and they think it's fine with everyone and maybe so, how about the ones that has memories of them and want to show today's kids of the past and yes... we do have KZfaq to show them of it, but taking them out is so painful to me!!! I'm normally about games at CEC, but those animatronics were part of my childhood... R.I.P. CEC aka the old style of it!!!

Wow never knew this was original beta rockafire characters still its sad to see them get taken out

Bruh. There removing and destroying the beta bots. That’s just wrong CEC

You know Ohio, Ohio, not dangerous😅

They should of took the locations with the worse condition out first it makes no sense why they didn't do that

Billings is a franchise so, if God be willing, they may not receive 2.0

What will happen to them?just get scrapped that’s such a waste. Hopefully someone will buy them or something and restore them into the rock afire explosion!

Wth ohio💀

cec entertainment is slowly losing their touch by implomenting ideas no one asked for and honestly i'd like to see them go bankrupt for good

Another thing about 3 stage shows is the animation they use for these bots is very simple compared to what creative engineering used to program for them too! These bots can do so much more then what their corporate turned them into 😢
