It's a shame the animatronics were neglected, and may eventually be replaced by a boring dance floor. This location looks really unique, with it still having the checkers. TBH, I wish CEC was owned by a better company.

Thank u for doing another NC location as i permanently moved there 2 years ago. Too bad I couldn’t see the 1 stage.

@mr.tomraypaz6085 14 күн бұрын

Interestingly the walls on both sides of the stage are slanted (likely due the layout being apparently diagonal). My point being, you might be able to make it a 3 stage.

This is a beautiful stage, it's a real shame it's in such a state! Frankly, I prefer the look of this cramped, mini 1 stage more than the usual 1 stage for some reason, it's real endearing to me

Itzarob I have a question.When you take requests again, will go through the backup list or new requests first?

@ItzaRob 4 ай бұрын

I’ll be changing how I do requests from here on out. They’ll work like my other requests. If the location you have me seems interesting enough then I will do it. Once I start up requests again they won’t be put on a list like they used to be, I’ll be going through the backup list every other week, focusing on the locations I find most interesting first. While I know people will be upset at this, I’m getting too many requests now to be able to add them all on a list, and I think this will work better.
