EYYYY TINLEY PARK, IL 😌✌🏽❤️ My 2nd home location (1st one being M.A.T.T.E.S.O.N. IL 👀) I MISS THAT LOCATION DEARLY 🥺😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I was GRATEFUL for the opportunity to get to see A.R.O.N.Z.O. Perform as Chuck from time to time (as well as having the opportunity ONE DAY to tell him how much of an inspiration he is to me) 🥹🥹🥹 And WHO WOULDA KNEW YEARS LATER I would go on to perform as Chuck (MYSELF) 😊 carrying on that legacy, and being graced with working at the Joliet, IL store location for a few months (Until now, currently residing in Alabama)!! But I just found that VERY IRONIC when you said you’d be covering Tinley Park next…. I’m REALLY looking forward to seeing that video, and this was a very nice video too btw 😀 And I hope you’re Duke/P.A.S.Q.U.A.L.L.Y. is coming along well too!!! Can’t wait to see the end result/finished product when he’s all finished!!

pizzacam would be sent to Huntsville you can tell its the same one due to the little black fabric you could see on the stick that raises him up. he would then receive the retro cam mask. he was allegedly meant to be sent to Pineville after the location closed or got 2.0 however as far as i know he was destroyed during the 2.0 renovation. which also means the end of the character in locations.

@@ItzaRob keep in mind i'm going off what i kind of remember. it could be it. but now taking a closer look at both the the difference in eyelids and eyes might mean its another pizzacam. but the black fabric that's tied around the lift might mean there the same bot. to actually tell you what i mean around the lift under his head there's some black fabric that's tied. here are two images one at Huntsville and the other in Wilmington. both seem to have that fabric. static.wikia.nocookie.net/showbizpizza/images/5/53/Pizzacam_close_up.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20220607205643 i.ytimg.com/vi/UgfvO3GHFAY/maxresdefault.jpg love your content btw keep up the work. and hopefully i'm wrong about pizzacam getting slammed by a hammer

The very last full authentic 3 stage. Wish it lasted longer than it did, but at least it died a hero than lived long enough to become a 2.0 remodeled location

I got to see this location in 2019 and had pictures with the animatronics! And the next video about Tinley Park? I went there in September of 2023 and saw the 2 stage and just fell in love with it and wished it stayed instead of Northridge. But CA is where I’m moving after I graduate school and working there, maintaining the animatronics!!!!!!!

Corporate could’ve reopened this location as 2.0 after they emerged from bankruptcy, because between 2021 and 2022, they reopened a couple stores that closed due to the pandemic. They could’ve reopened Wilmington during the time it was still vacant, but they now they can never reopen the original store, unless they were to open a new one down the road. #savepineville3stage

When department 18 had the 3 stage, I thought that the bots would be from Wilmington except the building and the moon (which are actually not because they were from the old Wesleyan Houston location), where are the department 18 bots from?

@ItzaRob 24 күн бұрын

Department 18’s bots were directly from CEI all the way back in the 80’s, and have been used for the purpose of programming to this day. The Building and Moon are the only exception to this, as they are from Wesleyan.
