The irony about Chuck E. Cheese retiring it's animatronics is that it happened right when Five Nights at Freddy's was at the height of it's popularity. You'd actually think that would encourage them to keep or update the animatronics and in turn bring more business.

For the longest time, all he ever did was eat pizza and talk about eating pizza, and I just wish I had gotten to see Crusty in person. His character was such an honest guy who really tried his best and took way too much crap that he didn't deserve from Chuck himself. And it was just funny to have a rat bossing a cat around and paying his paycheck.

Broke the illusion for all of us.

11:37 Did anyone see that little girl just go behind the curtains or am I tripping

The sad thing is that we only see Chucky now because most Chucky Cheese’s are basically broke. Oh those were the days

Dude this video is awesome. Thanks to your info on studio c stages, the nearest Chuck E. Cheese I could find currently still has a studio c cappa available since last year! I plan to go there someday and I’m super excited about it.

Thank you! Also that’s awesome, you should ask if they know how long it’ll be until they renovate incase they do it soon

Can’t believe you didn’t talk about the haunted stage. You know, the one where they found the dead kids in the suits…? Think it was called Fazbear something, or maybe I’m thinking of Comet Ping Pong?

5:43 I was always wondering about this Ty so much for explaining❤️💯

They should add a new animatronic with the new design. The post-refresh CEC doesnt feel like CEC anymore. The animatronics were the place’s defining feature. Now its just a normal arcade.

question about the moving platform stages: do you think they stopped using the platforms because of the debbie stone incident? i know the one in the video wasn’t that big, (and not very technical from the demo video) unlike the america sings one. i just find it interesting

Turntables we’re added in the 90s , 20 years after she had passed. They disabled them around the same time they disabled curtains for budget reasons

I went to chuckee cheese yesterday with my niece was soooooo disappointed I haven’t been there in years and when I stepped foot in it was like my child hood was RIPPED AWAY .. never existed the kids today will never experience what us 90 baby’s did with chuckee cheese PURE FUN ‼️‼️

Great Video and well researched. I grew up seeing the pizza time theater show with the animatronics in the frames. It was quite a sight to behold. It was dark and moody . There was a crawlspace under the stage that would strobe when you put a quarter inside. The 1980's were so rad and eerie.

I love these types of videos. Not many people are willing to take on this massive task. Question: In Kooser Rd, we see one one controlling the portrait bots live. What did they do at Winchester?

The animatronics were never controlled live. They were programmed at night at the Kooser Rd store until around May of 1980.

my local cec has circles of lights and the employees said that theyre getting rid of the animatronic soon :(

The past decade has shown they don’t care about upkeeping The Animatronics and they saw most people didn’t care about them either, so they’ve decided to gut them. The location I went to was killed by COVID and is presently being reused as a flea market space. The blue sky facade of the Studio C alpha and the stage top plus the tiles on the prize and food area (plus door stickers) are all that remain (the restrooms seemed to have been redone, I hypothesize that this was done by the current owner after COVID restrictions were mostly lifted)

The Chuck E. Cheese near my house has had lot of stages. Ive personally seen 5 of these stages at the same Chuck E. Cheese. I've seen the 3 stage, the 2 stage, the 1 stage, The studio c alpha, and the studio c cappa. Now there is no stage at all at that Chuck E. Cheese

the last balcony closed in 1993, the 2001 location and the one you used in the photo (lake forest, ca) had a shelf, not a balcony. the actual last balcony was located in edmonton, alberta, canada.

@wigglernation

6 ай бұрын

what exactly is a shelf and whats not as you said isnt a thing fully agreed upon, but generally a "shelf" is something that isn't nessecarily a portrait ot a balcony. for example, the lake forest stage had features from both portrait (the height of the stage, and placement of the characters/lack of guest stars) or a balcony (the layout of the stage and robots used). a shelf stage is also a nickname for a portrait stage but its not the same thing. due to a lack of documentation and the fact all of these stages were destroyed this is all up to my personal interpretation of how stages work. generally, the lake forest stage is considered to either be a shelf or its own thing and is no longer considered to be w balcony like it was once thought to be, making edmonton the last balcony

@@wigglernation that’s interesting. I consider a portrait stage to be just anything in a picture frame and the balcony to be anything high up

A location that had The Rocker Stage was my childhood location. I learned that they removed the stage after it happened so I never got to visit it before it was removed. Pretty bummed about that but I’m glad I got to grow up with this stage
