So glad they decided to keep this despite Nanuet being close by. This stage is definitely worthy of the Legacy Store treatment. It is great to be able to be excited about CEC again after constant disappointment.
Hicksville is the last MMBB in New York and it’s so cool there keeping it I hope I can come see this one of a kind store in my life. Also the store opened in 1993
Another couple notes: Confirmed there is no video wall at this location. It would've gone where the stage is if they weren't a legacy store. Notice they put the character murals that are usually next to the video wall are next to the stage. CEC has confirmed that the store in Canada will definitely be keeping the PTT statue after 2.0. The 2-Stage is still slated for removal.
Glad you went back to see HicksVille for there remodel! Kinda sucks they took down the artwork but it was very wholesome you met Rock A Fire Moon as well!
I can’t believe I just found this video. I live just 20 minutes away from this Chuck E. Cheese and I’ve always went to this Chuck E. Cheese when I was little over and over and over again to the point where my two sisters were always annoyed when I begged them to come with me to that place, so most of the time it would just be me and my dad who would go to the place and I would always remember getting those entrance stamps that showed the workers there that you were allowed to come in. I am really glad that they haven’t taken out the animatronics because that was always my favorite thing to look at when I’ve always entered inside! 😁 I have to make a note to myself to visit that place soon because it’s been a while since I’ve gone to that place and I’m pretty happy that they’ve been keeping it in good condition after all these years! 😊
Wow, they’re keeping art here!? Man, now I’m *really* confused about what’s supposed to make Nanuet their *retro* store ahaha Place looks great, glad to see you visiting these stores!
Mark responded in Reddit about adding art back to Northridge and said “Hi guys - I think there is some confusion about what we are doing here. The only "retro" location is going to be Nanuet. The other locations are all intended to be fully remodeled, and that includes new artwork. We are working on saving more of the old artwork (as many of you suggested) but it won't be going back into the stores. Mark”
Thats interesting given that they put the older artwork back up on these walls at this location and the fact that Pineville has a literal retro museum in it now. I think his quote proves that this is a fluid situation and they still havent quite landed on a definitive plan for these stores decor.
Pretty sure Mark might have a bit of a misunderstanding. All of the artwork that was up in these videos is still up and our remodel is essentially done At this point, last thing needed to be done is the curtains, however all of the other art which we took down besides what is still up on the walls was in the storage pods behind the building, although that was all unfortunately thrown out as of a couple days ago and was not saved
@@rockafiremoonNot saved makes me sad. I'll never understand why they want to destroy their history instead of actually you know.... making a profit off fans who want them for their collections? It bewilders me
One of these days it’s gonna be a road trip to the east coast to check out a few of these legacy locations. I was so excited when I heard the news about pineville and elsewhere. Now I just need to figure out when I can justify a 14 hour drive. Lol
I love your videos, they inspire me so much! Thank you for taking your time to entertain us and show us all these amazing stores within it's history. I wish they could just bring the animatronics that have already been taken out back. Can you visit Huntsville Alabama Chuck e cheese again to see the remodel? Or is it completely closed?
Would love to see our Toronto area stages saved. But like you said, CEC has already done way more than we expected. Do you think you’re going to be coming back to the Canadian stages? Willowdale’s animatronics got some work done and they’re looking a bit better now.
Update on Huntington as the Wife and I visited there again today! 💙 The band is still looking great but they haven't fixed up Helen's mouth yet. It was also extremely busy which was a great thing to see! The Summer of Fun pass is 100% worth it. Edit: Please put the art back up at Northridge! It's so important to CEC's history
I just realized what I don’t like about the remodels in general .. the overhead lighting. I know I’m just being nostalgic .. but I think the dim lighting was much better and made the place feel more like a world of its own as a kid. I also just hate bright lighting anyways though lol
Im gonna take a educated guess and say that this store and possibly some other legacy stores wont be getting the video wall but i could be completely wrong just seems like it would make more sense to make all the legacy stores unique in their own way so that theres more competition for tourists attraction and stuff if they make every store the same with bots dancefloor and video wall it would kinda be bland and not make it as unique for people to visit these 5 stores
I hope that in the case that they don't save the PTT statue Chuck store in Canada, they at least send the statue to Nanuet or something... maybe even the biggest in San Jose?
this is my favorite location Chuck E Cheese's in Hicksville and even we will not get a video wall and even also Chuck E Cheese's Hicksville Ny open in January 24, 1994
toledo oh on air port hwy got the tranpolene zone but they have had all the old art and the animatronics for 2 months idk what there going to do with those
Oh man. That would be amazing if there was a Rockafire mold o rama out there, but sadly no, these are 3D Printed, I got them at a comic convention I was at from a vendor that was selling them.
I often wondered, what if Chuck e Cheese ditched trying to please kids and went with a mature chuck(like the late 70s and early 80s chuck), had new animtronics, rethemed the stores into a old classic bar for teens and adults? I think Chuck e cheese would make more money pleasing the adults than trying to please a young gens that rather play PS5 than get sick from touching uncleaned arcades. Because adults need to chill at a place where they made memories from growing up and making it a mature place for those who remember the "good ol" days will help CEC from bankruptcy!
It was great to finally meet you, hope you enjoyed my store and all the work I’ve done to the show!
I heard you have a jasper ptt mask what if you put it on jasper! And find latex feet for Chuck to make it a bit more retro
What up
@@Drawingismefav-or-artl3tvrI think Chuck used to have the latex feet but they got replaced recently
@@Maxfrombuffalo yep
Mr moska
So glad they decided to keep this despite Nanuet being close by. This stage is definitely worthy of the Legacy Store treatment. It is great to be able to be excited about CEC again after constant disappointment.
This store is looking amazing. A combination of old and new has really brightened the place up. Corporate should have done this for every store.
Glad you visited Hicksville again man, it drastically improved since the last time you came
Hicksville is the last MMBB in New York and it’s so cool there keeping it I hope I can come see this one of a kind store in my life. Also the store opened in 1993
So great to see the animatronics in such good shape! Hopefully this care gets maintained into the foreseeable future

That’s what I expected for Canada and I’m more than happy with yhat!
Just happy to know the statue will remain 💙
6:58 I beyond happy that they programmed the animatronics to perform in the live shows.
It had been like that since that song has been out since 2017.
@@Duckey3753correct
Very nice seeing Hicksville again! Now you gotta go back to Pineville, I think they might have a large addition to the stage…
Wow! You went to Hicksville!? Now you got to go to Pineville, they're retro section is wild!!
My Wife and I are planning our anniversary trip out there for this October!! SO EXCITED!

Great video! Hicksville won’t be getting a video wall as there isn’t any space.
Literally the kid high five the chuck bot in the background is adorable. 2:42
Now you just have to get to Pineville! Nice video, Chris!!
Please Visit Springfield IL I want to see their remodel!
I went there when chuck was wearing a tuxedo and learned the stage was like the rock afire explosion stage at the Fun zone in Farmingdale on route 110
Hope your keeping well jasper ❤
Fun fact I live 42 minutes away from this location : D
That would be awesome if they got some of the old artwork from all the stores that got the remodels and put into the legacy store’s!
It opened on January 24, 1994 with the exact same stage.
Wow, they’re keeping art here!? Man, now I’m *really* confused about what’s supposed to make Nanuet their *retro* store ahaha
Place looks great, glad to see you visiting these stores!
There are 3 stores in Puerto Rico that still have studio c and are not remodeled.
You need to go to Springfield Il!
Hey Chris I don’t know if you’ve heard this but the pizza cam was just recently installed at pineville! I can’t wait for you to go see it
We need to save a studio C caps too working I went to my local location and it got taxed out so please keep another one that all of us can go see

4:50 unfortunately to my knowledge they aren’t putting up the artwork at Northridge. I called earlier.
These 5 locations are the only time I was eager for a 2.0 remodel
I’m not sure if you noticed, but they also still had the titan of tokens piece up
Ik they're probably not going to do this but i hope more locations get this treatment
0:00 Dang it, I want that Chuck E Cheese FUNKO POP
I know you wont visit the Sheffield location but it has one of you’re arts
another great video chris!! and theres only 16 days left till Billy Con!!

@@SetsStreetsEats Alright thanks so much Chris!!
It looks awesome! Hope to visit the stage sometime! :D

in a few weeks. I dont know when the grand opening will be

i really hope that more stores will get this treatment like #savehuntington2stage and #savewillowdale2stageandPTTstaue and #mississaugaroadstage
You should go to the Volvo museum they just added the rockafire explosion
Not to mention all of Illinois in general! (Volo, Springfield, Gurnee, Crystal Lake, etc.) I’m hoping thwy he goes after Billy Con.
True
Love seeing the CEC funko pop in the beginning 😎 anyways great video
Man I just went there with a friend they got a 2.0 exterior now!
Hope to visit this location one day
Just subbed. Is there any way I can try to meet up with you at Hicksville again?
Welcome and thanks for the sub!
Not again, I meant meet you for the very first time
I had a dream a couple nights ago about hickville’s 1 stage changing it’s mind and getting removed but thankfully it’s not! #wesavedhicksvilles1stage
Hicksville isn’t slated to get a video wall. Same goes for Springfield. I guess they don’t have a good place to put it.
I just realized what I don’t like about the remodels in general ..
the overhead lighting. I know I’m just being nostalgic .. but I think the dim lighting was much better and made the place feel more like a world of its own as a kid. I also just hate bright lighting anyways though lol

Can he please go to Pineville

Will there be a grand reopening?
They should put willowdales bots on the rocker stage but they will just have to make munch and pasqually stand
NICEEEEE
thanks Chris, I’ll add this to Cheese-E-Pedia
When’s pineville’s grand reopening date confirmation?
Not confirmed and it’s probably round August and July
I hope that in the case that they don't save the PTT statue Chuck store in Canada, they at least send the statue to Nanuet or something... maybe even the biggest in San Jose?
#SaveToronto2StageAndStatue
#SaveMississaugaRoadStage
Yes i love your premieres
How far is Hicksville from NYC?
about an hour
This should have been 2.0 for all stores
they aren’t getting the video wall in this store
You gonna visit Pineville? They are also about done
Their grand reopening is sometime in July
The fact that there are two legacy stores in ny
@SetStreetsEats Nanuets store is replacing the 16m bot with a 32m
this is my favorite location Chuck E Cheese's in Hicksville and even we will not get a video wall and even also Chuck E Cheese's Hicksville Ny open in January 24, 1994
0:04 where did u get that billy bob thing? Great video as always chris.
I bought it from a 3-D printer dealer at a comic convention.

toledo oh on air port hwy got the tranpolene zone but they have had all the old art and the animatronics for 2 months idk what there going to do with those
SAVE THE CHUCK E. STATUE AT WILLOWDALE!

yes
are those mold a rama rock afire figures on your dashboard??
Oh man. That would be amazing if there was a Rockafire mold o rama out there, but sadly no, these are 3D Printed, I got them at a comic convention I was at from a vendor that was selling them.
You mean spongebob ticket coaster right not the ticket blaster
they should remove the trampoline zone posters off the wall but keep the trampoline zone by itself (for all locations that have it)
Where a kid can be a kid!
The 5 stores cec entertainment chose to be legacy stores are great decisions
They should keep the older art at other 2.0 locations that have empty spots
I really hope the programming is gonna be like northridges, and the videos don’t play when the band does but instead it shows the mmbb logo
They still play the me and my friends? Live show?
Yes! They brought it back

Is it just me or do I kind of think it's a little bit unfair to have 2 legacy stores In 1 state
Being somebody in Illinois, I cannot disagree. Heck, California is way bigger and they have only one singular stage.
As a New York resident, they should've only kept Hicksville and saved a Studio C store in a southern state. Maybe Naples 32M COL
