Most of the photos in the video do not belong to me, and unfortunately I cannot find the proper credit for them all. Those photos that don't belong to me belong to their rightful owners, and I am just using them for the purposes of this video.
Crap, please don't label this as for kids. It's not meant for kids, it's meant for entertainment and archival purposes.

A bit confused what you mean by that (unless you mean all people in Birmingham) but yeah, this was definitely a piece of my childhood even if I didn't go much.

As a BTW, There was an original 3rd location in Birmingham you may want to look into: The Midfield ShowBiz location! At the time, I was a Game Room Attendant in the Roebuck location and I helped bring old games and equipment there to be auctioned off. Later, Midfield became a Western Auto Parts.

@ItzaRob Ай бұрын

I’ve had this conversation before, but Midfield is considered its own area and therefore isn’t part of the Birmingham locations. That’s certainly some interesting info you got there though. I’ve always wondered what happened to the Roebuck bots…

@Falconator Ай бұрын

The Location in Roebuck closed because the land was sold to Walgreens. Walgreens knocked the old plaza down to build their building. Some Show stuff may have also been transferred to the newly acquired Tallahassee franchise location as were much of the games.

hey! sorry for the late response. I was too busy getting research for joliet 😆. anyway, fun fact, phase 2 chuck e cheese is called chuck e cheese pizza because they decided to use showbiz pizza too. so merging, the name was chuck e cheese's pizza. neat i guess. can't wait for ashville and joliet!

@ItzaRob Жыл бұрын

I'd heard about the "Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza" name, but not that it was associated with phase 2 and why it was called that. Thanks for the info! Edit: I see a comment that mentions the dance floor on my notifications, but not on the video or being held in review. I must've messed things up when trying to change the settings for comments held for review.

Oh alright. I think it's best if you email me for any more research information, I saw a comment about the dance floor at Birmingham you made but it isn't showing up on the video or in comments held in review. Just send me any more info you find at itzzarob@gmail.com so that we don't run into issues with comments held for review.

4:00 the footage you have of Vestavia was around the time chuck started making appearances in some showbiz pizza places

Yep! This was one of my first ever history videos. I’ve learned a lot since then, and this video definitely could use an update as there’s more I’ve found since this video.

Some people believe that some 3 stage parts from Vestavia were sent to the Mobile location for them to convert back to the regular 3 stage.

@ItzaRob Жыл бұрын

That’s an interesting idea! Though I do wonder if Vestavia’s 3 Stage would’ve ever gotten things such as the plastic masks or not since the location closed in 2000, but even the possibility of thing such as character clothes from that location living on is still interesting.

Do you know that Chuck E. Cheese that got lost? Do you know the animatronic that also could’ve been the Tuscaloosa one because that one blew away in a tornado in 2011 and it was exactly like that a studio C and it’s just an hour away so you never know

@ItzaRob Жыл бұрын

I don’t exactly understand what you’re trying to say. Are you trying to imply that the abandoned Chuck E. Cheese animatronic isn’t Old Town Road’s? If so, although it’s possible, if it had gotten caught up in a tornado it would’ve been far more damaged than the abandoned one we see in the infamous photo. Not to mention it turned up after Old Town Road converted to a dance floor in 2016 so it’s more likely to be Old Town Road’s Studio C. Plus that’s just what my source said so that’s what I went off of.
