    I can tell you what happened to Jasper from Antoine - we took him! Our Jasper had frame damage to his legs and body lean (and maybe some other issues). We took the one from Antoine and over a few months completely replaced all his tubing, bushings, and cylinders and installed him at Weslayan!
    The Memorial Drive location was replaced by the new large Westheimer location.

      Exactly my thoughts on owning an animatronic that was used in a location. Having one of these guys is of course already cool in its own right, but having one that people grew up with is what makes it even cooler to me.

    Hey I know that you aren't taking requests at the moment, but in the future you should really cover the Guatemala City location. Apparently it used to have both a 3-stage and 2-stage at the same time, with the 2-stage being taken out in 2010ish. The location is closed, but the 3-stage animatronics are now on display at a nearby location iirc above the Beverages. It's a really unique location that I haven't heard much about.

    The FM 1960 location was in an extremely large building! In fact, the party reservation team was in that building for a number of years in the early 90's that handled the Houston area. Behind the 3-stage was another enormous, unfinished room just used for storage. When they installed studio C, they installed it in that room BEHIND the 3-stage. Then they removed the 3-stage. I never visited after the 3-stage was removed, but that location did move to another building on the I-45 highway. Not sure if they sent the Studio C there or not.

    I would like to help you with westheimers location which has NO information on cheese e pedia first, it has private party rooms and had a col with bot (i think it was a 16 m) anyways when the location got 2.0 they just removed the bot and the stage and kept the col design also this i have only seen in arlington the portraits of the characters in on the side wall this location was the last to get 2.0d on the Houston region also the showbiz pizza photos is memorial drive because I lined it up with the old picture and the new picture and it was in the same spot the picture was taken in the parking lot for the Walgreens

    • @ItzaRob
      @ItzaRob  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      There’s literally no way the photos labeled as “Houston, Texas” on showbizpizzacom are from memorial drive, the entrance is facing a parking lot while you can see on Google maps that it’s facing the road. It also isn’t a standalone building but instead is in a plaza.
