I live a few cities over from billings I'm going to make sure to at least check out the exterior. I remember going to a Chuck-E-Cheese in Colorado for my birthday. That was a very long time ago though.

avenger walkarounds we’re still being used in 2013 at most stores . Rockstar did make his debut this year in walkarounds form this year but most locations didn’t switch for a while for some reason . Also I think the most unique thing about the stage is munches hat

The next history video locations exterior was always unique to me cuz the exterior looks kinda like a warehouse cant wait for the next history video

Billings is my local chuck e cheese, nice to see you talk about it. I haven't been there in about 14 or 15 years but I remember munch jr being there, not sure when they removed him. I also remember the curtains on the stage, i feel like if i went there now it would ruin the memories i have of going there. Man it makes me nostalgic for my childhood. Also my older brother went there for several of his birthdays and from pictures of 1998 and 1999 chuck was still wearing his tuxedo.

@ItzaRob 9 ай бұрын

That makes sense, the Tux would've been used throughout the 90's and removed in the 2000's. Honestly, this stage is still in pretty good shape, but obviously they've remodeled since you went so I can see how that could ruin your memories. I will say though, you might wanna still visit it if you wanna see the 3 stage one last time since it'll probably be gone by 2024.

@Thrognir Ай бұрын

As a kid I went to that specific CEC as a kid. But I ended up getting to see the old animatronics from show biz. They got moved to a weird triple play like place.

@ItzaRob Ай бұрын

Huh? The animatronics installed there now are the same ones that were installed since they opened, they were just retrofitted into Chuck E. Cheese characters.

@@ItzaRob I didn’t mean the actual animatronics, just the older costume designs. I recognize the one from the show biz pic.

An employee told me that they were no longer being used/may not be on the stage no longer. They also said the pizza cam box is no longer there, which I will have to go in and look for myself. Also, the store is getting the 2.0 remodel this summer, June or July.

@ItzaRob 10 ай бұрын

I unfortunately cannot prioritize requests, as the way I'm doing it, the sooner someone requested a location, the sooner their request will be done. I do this to make it fair as picking a location to do randomly feels unfair to me. I will still be doing it though, but it will be a little while before I get to it.

So i Got 2 ideas for what if videos. 1. What if the hard luck bears shows never we're removed/destroyed. 2. What if the old billy bob's wonderland locations didn't close.

@ItzaRob 9 ай бұрын

The first one is a very small idea and I feel would not be very interesting to talk about. The second one is mostly the same, there was only a couple that closed so I'm not sure that would be very interesting.
