- Today, we go over the history of Showbiz Pizza and Chuck E. Cheese in Davenport, Iowa. Although mostly a standard 3 stage location, there's one unique aspect to it, so watch the video to find out what I mean. Thanks to @realPizza_Rat_Entertainment for requesting this location.

A quick reminder that I'm not taking anymore history video requests right now, so please do not ask until I start taking them again (in the future I'll make an update video which you can comment on once I start taking them again).
ok
Lol
this location is now closed as of april, 7th 2024!
Rest in piece to this location, closed around 2 months ago.
I actually live in davenport and only been there a few times it was fun while it lasted when I got back from college I noticed the sign was gone and I was heart broken
One of the oldest showbizes, I think there was a murder around there but this is still sad.
RIP Davenport late because nobody really bothered like the others
I’ve been to that Chuck E Cheese a few times when I was a kid. I’m kind of sad to see it gone, and I didn’t know it had such a history.
I used to go here sometimes on rare occasions,we were gonna go in April but It closed down days before we got there
R.I.P Davenport
Great, and informative video as always ItzaRob. Can’t wait for more!
Omg I remember my 4th birthday there! My mom says I cried at the mascot coming up to me 😂 also the animatronics scared a dumb 4 year old me too lol. Thinking about it now I miss them. Before it closed for good I always wanted to go back and see them but I was too old for it my mom said.
im so sad it closed 😢 😭 Sad Childhood memories there
Happy holidays everybody Hope you have a good Christmas.😄
Oh yea! Thx for this ! Merry Christmas rob!
You're welcome, I hope you enjoy the video!
The only CEC I’ve ever been too, this location in specific was my childhood
The only problems with the stage in 2017 is that Jasper’s hand wouldn’t touch the guitar when playing (as shown here 4:40), and the disco lights didn’t work
And his mouth was slow to open
I think that “Storybook Characters” banner might be there because of an event that was held by the time that photo was taken, but I might be wrong.
I live about 20 minutes from there so I used to go a lot.
When you mentioned Omaha, Nebraska that made me think of living in the cold state of Iowa right next to a golf course that made me think of a time in 2009 in the good ole year of the ox when my parents had a pontoon boat and we had a new cat named Midnight (2008 or 2009 - 2022) and he gave the boat a cat scan and when he saw land he jumped into the water and my mom was surprised that Midnight jumped into the water. The people on the golf course were surprised that it was a person that fell in the water, but it actually was a cat that fell into the water. In 2016 in the good ole year of the monkey we figured out that Midnight was a Bombay cat because the neighbors of a kid that I went to elementary school with told us that he was a Bombay.
merry christmas !
Yes I always wondered what they meant by storybook characters since none of the RAE characters come from storybooks and none of the characters on the picture are in the show , i would like to know more behind the intent of that sign 😮
I think it’s an out of context thing about the Rae being cartoon-ish characters
@@smokeyjoeproductions that’s what I was wondering and that it was just a marketing tactic used before people were familiar with the RAE characters
@@jwilliams7554yeah, I’m pretty sure, of course I can’t confirm that tho
Her shirt kinda looks yellow like a bee but it could be the lights
Not requesting but these are my top 5 locations I want to see
1. Cedar Rapids Iowa (my local that closed 2013)
2. Cedar falls (one closed 2001 and relocated )
3. Burnsville Minnesota (one of the last in a mall Burnsville center)
4. Brandon Flordia
5. South Portland Maine ( only location in Maine ever)
The pictures do go with a showbiz pizza commercial
Btw tip they did recive uncle klunk/ santa
My dad went there when klumck was there
Do you have enough info to do the history about the Macsway Rd location in Columbus Ohio. It’s been closed since Covid but it’s my childhood Showbiz and would love to learn the history behind this location if possible
I'm not taking anymore history video requests right now.
@@ItzaRobwhen will you take requests and merry christmas
@@karlgt3656 It'll be a few months, it depends on how many of my requests can be turned into shorts (if any) and what other video ideas I do.
It's so weird to see Macsway Ave brought up here, since I'm from Columbus and moved to Davenport several years back. The Macsway location was my favorite. The animatronics were in pretty good shape, and my heart broke when I learned it closed.
For the What if video bits, can you do one where Crusty never got replaced?
It's a bit of a small idea, though this isn't the first time I've been asked it, so maybe I should do it.
Sadly can't join the premeire...😢
They’re closing on April 7th, 2024
Question? How to research these locations? I know mine used to be a showbiz and i wanna see pics
I use cheese-e-pedia as the basis of my info, and I search around on TH-cam and Google to find other stuff, usually using the search terms "[insert location area] Showbiz Pizza Place" and "[Insert location area] Chuck E. Cheese" in order to find photos and footage.
@@ItzaRob thanks man! I found info but no photos or footage which makes me sad :( my show stage was immediately removed in 2018. Very short lived. I treasured it while it was there since I was in the fandom from a young age
Itzrob can you make a video of all the billy bobs wonderland locations
Possibly, though that would technically fall under the history video requests so I won't be taking any requests like that right now.
Can You Do The History Of The Regina, Saskatchewan Location? (It’s in Canada)
I'm not taking anymore history video requests currently.
@@ItzaRob ah ok
Could u do the history of the Chuck E. Cheese in Lubbock tx?
I'm not taking anymore history video requests. I even had a pinned comment saying this in the comment section of this video.
@@ItzaRob oh sorry I wasn’t paying attention! 😅
Aaron fechter is selling a beach bear on ebay with the surf board and his guitar.
Yes, I know. $16K is very overpriced though.
is it known if the kept the showroom walls in the phase 3 remodel
They always did, usually they were torn down with the 2003 Remodel though.
@@ItzaRob 2003? Would that be phase 4? or a later version of phase 3? Because if you look at the store tour from captain unusual the sky tubes were with in the former showroom (were the ceiling was raised)
@@realPizza_Rat_Entertainment It’s not called Phase 4, that’s an incorrect term. The 2003 remodel was when “Phase 4” originally started, though it wasn’t pushed out massively until 2005, hence the 2005 Update to the 2003 Remodel.
RIP
Where do you buy dook?
I got him on Ebay.
@@ItzaRob serious? I check ebay,they doesn't have any rock afire explosion animatronics
@@Thunderdome_baby They're very scarce, my strategy is to have a few different search results saved so you're notified when a listing under that search term gets listed. That or check those search terms daily.
How many more till the Brandon Florida location?
Yours is one of the last on the list. If you want me to be blunt, it could take half a year before I get to yours.
@@ItzaRob oh… I’ll be waiting… every night
Those beta photos were from a old commercial I might be wrong
It was poor judgement on my end, in hindsight (and a bit of research) the footage doesn’t appear to be from Davenport.
@@ItzaRob I’m pretty sure it might be Jacksonville cause in photos is Jacksonville fl the mask of dook is super similar
I use cheese e pedia
Jasper was bought by a TH-cam channel named rockafire moon
Oh wow, that's his Jasper? That's pretty cool!
The Rae bots in the commercial is not Davenport. It’s the tulsa, ok Location
I believe you, but can you tell me how you know this please?
I know it’s not Jacksonville cuz of dooks outfit and it’s not Davenport cuz they had the newer cosmetics but some beta elements
@@sonicsonic2022 What's saying they would have had newer cosmetics at the time? There's no footage/photos of the location which would point to them having new cosmetics, as the oldest footage/photos of them if we don't count the commercial would be 1988.
Sharonville, Ohio had the newer cosmetics from opening day til they closed and Cincinnati Colerin too. So Davenport would have had the standards rae cosmetics.
@@sonicsonic2022 hmm. Davenport opened in February of 1981, and I highly doubt that the newer cosmetics were being used by then. Sharknville opened in October, so there’s still that gap where they could’ve had the beta cosmetics. Cincinnati colerain too. It opened in November, so these stores opened after Davenport. Unless we know for sure when this commercial was recorded we can’t really confirm it’s not Davenport.
