My childhood CEC! Glad to see the animatronics haven't gotten any worse than they were ten years ago, but the rest of the place made me sad to see. There were way more arcade games when I was a kid (and way more of a crowd too). It seems like they expanded the dining booths to make up for the lost gaming space. The area to the left of the entrance used to have the skytubes and a designated toddler's area, but clearly not anymore.
Thank you for making these videos! My family doesn’t have a ton of money so we can’t really afford to travel that far, but we love going to see the animatronics at our local Chuck E Cheese, in Altoona PA even though the animatronics there don’t preform songs anymore and they’re being destroyed in May 2024 (confirmed by an employee during our Yesterday visit). So for us watching videos like yours is super great for us!
@@3105aceGood question! The employee didn’t exactly say why, so we’re not exactly sure. It might have something to do with the lack of attention they’re getting from visitors? I went two times this week; one on a busy day, and the other on a not so busy day, and neither days did anyone really seem that interested in the animatronics, except for maybe a few little kids
You should honestly check out Huntington Beach, the oldest CEC location and the last from the 70s. I know I'm annoying but it's s piece of history and I'm honestly shocked how you haven't visited yet. Also, I was able to film no problem.
I'm only here for the killer nostalgia. I lived in Keansburg in my childhood, from 2005-2009, so I was 3-7, and this was the only Chuck E. Cheese I've ever gone to in my life, even to this day.. My parents brought me here a lot with my old elementary school friends, and I'm so happy it still looks the same way it did as I remember it back in the 2000s. The animatronics look to be the original ones from when I was a kid, that's probably why there not in the best shape, if those are the OG's than they go as far back as I literally can remember. The thing that is missing though are these big crawl tubes that used to be behind the stage, they were to the right as you walked in, It looks like they were all replaced by Arcade games. Thats a shame. I had such a blast up there. Also, they're used to be a very iconic icecream machine in the front of the store.
I don't know if you've heard the recent news as of like now but Chuck E Cheese has made the announcement that their getting rid of all of their animatronics in every single store except for the one in california so if we don't want Chuck E Cheese to actually go through with this completely F'd up decision everyone better be loud and very vocal to where Chuck E Cheese can hear every one of us complaining about this decision because this is so F'd up that words can describe SO EVERYONE MAKE YOU OPINIONS LOUD AND PROUD SO CHUCK-E-CHEESE CAN HEAR EVERY ONE OF US BECASUS THIS IS HISTORY AT STAKE HERE
I also wish a few more stores would get to keep the animatronics! we need to do a petition or send something to corporate! i live in nc and would love one of the old showbiz pizza 3 stages to stay! a 1 stage would be cool. as well as old chuck e cheese box stand setup (where the characters are behind boxes) too, if any are left.
Yes your three stage in Pineville is the best one left out of the five and should be preserved forever and saved and I would love to see that happen myself and hope that they do. And also the stage you're describing with the boxes is called the road stage and you guys also have one of the last five remaining ones of those as well 🙂
I live in New Jersey and I’d been trying to find some Chuck E. Cheese’s near me that still have the animatronics. I went to the one In Cherry hill back in 2018 when it still had the animatronics but unfortunately they got ride of them so one day maybe I will have the chance to go to this one if they still have them.
You should ask the nice employee if they happen to have munches hat just laying around and tell them how it is a dream of yours to own a hat and wink one day. Probably a 1 and a million shot they could give it to you but hey crazier things have happened 😊
Can you go to the nanuet ny store? They are the last phase 3 store in New York only thing is the exterior isn’t phase 3 but the interior is all phase 3 and I think they should have unique art even though they don’t have a full stage and just have a studio c beta but hey the studio c logo glows. But can you visit?
Idk if that’s true. Apparently the girl who made the petition to save Pineville said that the district manager said that Pineville is keeping the animatronics. She actually changed the petition to say that Pineville was successfully saved. Maybe David is just keeping it under wraps as a surprise.
@@DaMeaun Idk, maybe David changed his mind. The grand-reopening was a few days ago. The alleged announcement that Pineville was staying was yesterday night. Not sure why this Sydney girl who’s in charge of the petition would lie about the district manager saying this.
I’m an 80s kid and showbiz was my favorite place. Missed seeing fatz, Mitzy, Billy bob and the gang. Thanks for talking me back.
This is my childhood CEC!!! Thank you so much for visiting and documenting! So many memories here :)

Wait, I thought only the 2 stages ever had turntables?
I worked here for two years 98-2000. Wow it’s changed so much inside.
Any footage or photos from when you worked there?
I second this comment ^^
I’m going to check it out
What does cec do with the other animatronics after the remodels?
I live in New Jersey and I’d been trying to find some Chuck E. Cheese’s near me that still have the animatronics. I went to the one In Cherry hill back in 2018 when it still had the animatronics but unfortunately they got ride of them so one day maybe I will have the chance to go to this one if they still have them.
I’m pretty sure they had a toddler zone up until the pandemic
Didn’t expect to see my childhood Chuck E. Cheese on my recommended caught me off guard

Love your videos keep it up 🎉❤
Can you go to the nanuet ny store? They are the last phase 3 store in New York only thing is the exterior isn’t phase 3 but the interior is all phase 3 and I think they should have unique art even though they don’t have a full stage and just have a studio c beta but hey the studio c logo glows. But can you visit?
Already visited, that video should be out in a couple weeks
Ok Can’t wait to see it!
When do you plan to return to pineville?
I missed you, I was just there! You should visit nanuet NY there the last phase 3 store in ny, I think you will like it
I asked an employee and they said it would be remodeled in late 2024
That's the 2nd store I work at on occasion!! My main store is Bridgewater
there not gonna do it in pineville from what david said. i asked him about this during the grand reopening
David is the Hitler of animatronics

@@nicholaskania9106 no David said northridge was the only one that’s gonna have animatronics that’s what he told me. Petitions don’t work anyways
