- Today, we go over the very first international location I've ever covered on this channel: Guatemala City, Guatemala. I have multiple people to thanks for this request, but I'll highlight @veronancyy for being the first to request it and @Cheesecheese12343 for donating a bit of money to encourage me to do this idea. Thank you all!

They feel more like fever dreams then actual location's.
So THAT'S where the Showbiz Pizza Plaza name came from. I remember surfing the internet a while back and coming across some hats and shirts that had the SSPlaza name on it (and was purple for some reason), could never figure out where it originated from.
Oh yeah! I’ve been waiting for someone to go fully in-depth in this unique location, diving into it’s history, and explaining just how great this location was, and still is. Definitely my favorite to have been covered!
I can’t wait for this I’ve always wanted this location for a long time
Request can you please do San Jose Tully Road for your next video instead of never what a video
NO WAY THIS IS MY FAVORITE STORE!! Sad I never visited it.
hey ItzaRob Can u do History of Chuck E Cheese in Burbank CA
Yes! I’ve been waiting for this! Thank you so much rob.
You’re welcome.
Wow when I made my history video on this location last year I couldn't find this much information! Great video Thanks Rob!
Glad you finally covered this area! International locations are really unique
The history of these locations is insane, so thank you for covering it!
Isn’t it cool how pineville Hicksville and Springfield il are getting saved!!!
This was honestly a really cool history video that a location has two stages installed at the same time!
Already know this is going to be good!
This video will be interesting
This was def one of your best history videos in the Showbiz and CEC history! ❤
Hopefully you can soon do a history video of the many Santiago Chuck E. Cheese's stores that there are, it would be so cool too! 🎉❤
I think I know what you're talking about, maybe in the future.
Yeah it's ok lol
This location was very cool and the animatronics were really creepy looking lol but awesome video as always rob!
This was super interesting! I like how they kept the animatronics on display, wish more CECs would've done that during the 2.0 remodel. There are also other foreign CECs out there I find interesting like Showbiz Pizza Fiesta/Boomis Pizza Fiesta, and the defunct Australian Charlie Cheese's restaurant. Boomis had other animatronic then just the Rock-A-Fire, they also had bootleg PTT bots and some original animatronics.
Hello,I been in this livestream and I decided to reodonate again, and good video!
Thanks a ton for the donation, and thanks for the compliment!
@@ItzaRobno problem (:
Nice! 😀👍🏽 Speaking of International Chuck E. Cheese locations, I’ve seen the locations in Canada in the past while I was visiting my Filipino relatives there, but I never went inside. I saw locations in Cambridge, ON (closed in 2017, it housed a Studio C Beta) and Mississauga, ON (Argentia Road, it housed a Studio C Beta, and it’s now 2.0 with a Dance Floor).
This was a very cool area, I love the final locations’ design, the exterior looks fantastic! And the best part is that they didn’t throw the bots away!
Awesome vid!!!
the balcony stage is actually quite interesting. apparently showbiz pizza in Guatemala was not a real showbiz location it was a rip off called showbiz pizza fiesta. they had there own showtapes and even a record. they had the rock afire and a retrofitted balcony stage. here's the weird part this retrofit wasn't made for this store. IT WAS A WHOLE BRANCH FOR ANOHTER PARTY PLACE. this place was called boomis pizza time festa which could have been a branch of cec its unclear. the only thing about this place are photos and some audio from the showbiz festa record they played. we do know the chuck e retrofit was named raton. eventually in 1995 the actual cec company found out about them. and made them official. they would later move to the shopping center keeping the rock afire and even the balcony. you had 2 versions of munches make believe band the 3 stage and the road stage. 3 stage was on the first floor road stage was on the 2nd. in 2002 they would close the 2nd floor and the bots were used to fix the 3 stage bots.
its a mess that is so unclear though. and there might never be an actual answer. i didn't even know showbiz pizza plaza was a name they used. it might even be another rip off location its so unclear
ShowBiz Pizza Fiesta was actually the name for ShowBiz in Mexico, although the franchisee for the Mexican SPF's I've heard also franchised the Guatemalan Showbiz.
@@WhoDidWhat17 are those weird cec retrofit stores also apart of showbiz pizza time inc or were those just knockoffs
Awesome video
this will be interesting to see
Great History Vid, btw would u do a history video on NY Patchogue’s CEC? Thanks
I’ll pass.
Cool video and location
Thanks for covering my home country's CEC
Guatemala forever 🇬🇹
My man your name is Cec Illinois I AM ACTUALLY FROM ILLINOIS
Hey man, I love your videos! If I may, i’d like to suggest a video on Diamond Bar, CA or Pico Rivera, CA. (if you haven’t already done one on them.) Diamond Bar and Pico Rivera are some favorite locations of mine and i’d love to see how they came to be!! Keep up the cool videos bro.
Thank you! I’ll have to pass on both though.
I been waiting for thsi
oh god this location, I cant wait to see what you have to say
9:41 ALL CECs NEED TO DO THIS TO THEIR ANIMATRONICS INSTEAD OF THROWING THEM AWAY
Agree
can someone please tell me what location that is
i was the 150th like!
great vid btw!
This one and the one in Dubai are probably some of the most interesting locations.
I hope to visit it eventually and their other location
you should do diamond bar ca, I feel like that would be a good history video
Thank you
Hey! I suggest you cover the 3 locations in New Mexico. There is a bit of mystery when it comes to that. There may have been 4 locations at a point, but we don't really know...
This is such a unique location. Mainly cuz of how weird it looked. Especially with Chuck E, Jasper, and Pasqually having latex masks.
Chuck didn’t have a latex mask under his plastic one, close ups show this wasn’t the case.
Hey man love ur video❤ can you do canton mi?
I'll pass for now.
do you think you'll ever do a video on the history of stores in San Diego or surrounding counties? loved the Pasadena vid btw
Is this a request or what?
@@ItzaRob not really lol, though im curious if this is on the radar for west coast CEC locations
They had a 2 and 3 stage in this location that's insane!
the 2-Stage was technically in a separate building of the shopping center but still pretty cool
Strange a 3-stage and a 2 stage. I also Noticed that the building backgrounds are different from other 3-stages
You should do a video on Chuck E. Cheese in Bell, CA. I’d be thrilled if you saw this!
I’ll pass.
@@ItzaRob wait really?? 😭😕
i love the history behind this location
I think the one in Guadalajara in Mexico would be neat! i had family that went and it use to be a showbiz i think.😊
Hey i heard some chuck e cheese locations are opening here in Australia! You should cover them whenever that happens
Why? You’re gonna have dance floors, not animatronics. Plus, where’s the history in a brand new location like that lol.
@@ItzaRob true, unless they somehow find the old pizza playtime animatronics and put em in a museum, but I doubt they even still exist
8:11 it is a PTT ride but I think they were in some former Showbiz locations too
There's was a new video uploaded yesterday showing unseen photos of the chuck e cheese location. (The one that closed in 2016 btw)
You should do one in Mexico! Please
I bet you already know this, Rob, but the the Guatemala Zona 9 location’s Avenger Chuck walkaround is actually different than the US version, also, right before they closed, they received the Rockstar Chuck Walkaround🐭
It certainly looked different, not sure why it would have though. Also I noticed a few photos and videos of the rockstar walkaround, I just forgot to include it here.
Yeah, I saw one video that had their Rockstar Chuck Walkaround dancing to the Spanish Birthday star 2001 show
Also, I’m pretty sure the reason why their Avenger Chuck Walkaround is different is because it’s either homemade or it was made by a different company than Cowan Costumes inc. with different materials
Need to do phoenix, unknown in terms of history except for some photos
I’ll pass for now.
you probably know about this already but the Nanuet NY store is going to become a hybrid store
Could you do a history video of the CEC in Sandy Utah? Its alright if u pass.
Maybe.
Didn't want to make a second comment but a few things:
The 2010s remodel photo at Gallerias Primas is actually not from there, not sure why it's on Google Maps but I can confirm.
For Conception, you didn't mention how they had some of the old record posters from Zona 9
Also both locations still use tokens and tickets
please do history on Catonsville CEC
or do history on Glen Burnie CEC
I’ll pass on both.
You should do the Torrance prairie location in ca after the what if vid
I’ll pass for now.
@@ItzaRob Ok!
Seeing the old 3 stage bots on display like that is truly unique and awesome. I wish that happened with more of them.
#savepineville3stage #savepineville
Hey ItzaRob can go history of Chuck E Cheese in Dothan AL
I’ll pass.
I think they had a balcony stage due to showbiz fiesta and the mysterious 2-stage. Also history of Holonolu?(if that’s too short then kapolei as a bonus)
Can you do the Worcester Massachusetts store maybe all the mass stores ???
Thanks for the donation! Unfortunately Worcester is not an interesting enough store, and I already know I can’t cover all the mass stores in one video so I’ll pass.
Please do a history video on the north Richland hills tx location of Chuck E. Cheese it’s my hometown location since I was a kid plus it’s a former showbiz
Hm, maybe.
Yay
Do North York Canada next
I’ll pass for now.
ItzaRob can you do San jose ca pls
In the future, yes, but not for now.
Next history vid, Monroeville PA please
I’ll pass.
@@ItzaRob dang
DUDE LAST PREMEIRE I KNEW IT WAS THIS ONE YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
hey uh if your taking requests right now can you do the history of the cec in staten island?
I’ll pass.
@@ItzaRob ok
Finally
A giant armadillo named Phil 🤣😂->7:50
They’re not remodeling anytime soon since they’re a franchise store so they’ll get to keep the 16M bot
Can you history of the chuck e cheese in pearl city
I think that the way the showbiz bootleg got the rae is because that year I think spp lost the exclusivity rights to the rae so that’s why they were legally allowed to be there
Hey itzarob are you gonna make a video about the 45'th Anviersary Of Chuck E Cheese Since They Opened They're doors 45 years ago on May 17 1977
It’s actually been 47 years, and no, I won’t be.
@@ItzaRob that's okay
Video on the history of the cec locations in san antonio TX?
Maybe in the future, it would need to be another multi-part location as there’s quite a few locations.
@ItzaRob oh yeah definitely
I wish I mentioned the location. The animatronics came from in my history video.
btw the chuck on the 3 stage still has his latex mask under the plastic mask!
Pretty sure this isn’t true, if you look at MMBB GUA’s video on his close up with Chuck it doesn’t appear to me that he had a latex mask underneath.
@@ItzaRob well, its just a theory so you may be right. but who knows..
tells the story of boomis pizza fiesta and chowbiz pizza fiesta in mexico city
Greensboro nc next
Hm, maybe.
What will be the next location you will do?
Can you please do bridgewater new jersey it was the last ever studio c console location i would really appreciate it if you could do it
I’m going to pass for now.
@@ItzaRob ok also do you have a greybox or bluebox to run beach bear and dook?
@@sonicblast1255 I run both with a bitstripper.
@@ItzaRob ok but ive never heard of it
@@sonicblast1255 It's a controller Layton made, I got it free when I purchased Rolfe.
Itzarob can you please do hixville ny
I have already, there wasn’t enough info on it to do a full video so I did a short.
I haope the what if idea i can up with is in thr next one
Do Mississauga Canada
I’ll pass for now.
5:52 Helen’s dress must have been “poorly” custom made
Helen had a cyber shirt for some reason
It kinda does look like one, though for some reason the colors are inverted. It could be from the 2 stage they had but honestly I’m not sure about that.
@@ItzaRob idk
That creepy Teletubby is Po.
Any update on your beach bear?
Not for this channel currently. If you wanna see all the updates I have, go check out my Instagram.
@@ItzaRob whats your name in ig?
you should do a video on huntsville, alabama
it has a lot of history
also, the bots were not taken to spt as many people think, they were all destroyed except pasqually who is presumed to be owned by a private collector now
thats a good idea
yo estuve en el chuck e chese de guatemala
PD: soy de ahi
I think Helen and pasquallys clothes are from the 2 stage
Maybe, but the Helen blouse doesn’t seem to match up with other cyberamic ones I saw. You definitely could be right though.
abit late, lol but their 2 stage is theorized that it came from edmonton after they closed in 1995, allthough its not confirmed it is suspected it is possible.
Did you go over Brandon Florida?
No.
@@ItzaRob oh
Helens dress looks like a cyberamic!!!
Yeah, but the colors are inverted.
It looks a bit odd on her
Maybe Bella Bunny's relatives or ancestors were born here.
Not sure if this state has a history but can you cover the history of chuck e Cheese in the state of utah?
Be more specific, I don’t cover entire states in one video.
@@ItzaRob hmmm then layton utah??
I’ll pass.
Chicago, Illinois If Not Done Yet
Maybe.
Lets see then
Wasn’t there also a Showbiz Pizza called Showbiz Pizza Fiesta? Or was that the Showbiz Pizza plaza place?
I believe there were separate locations called Showbiz Pizza Fiesta, no clue if they have anything to do with Showbiz Pizza Plaza or not though.
What is the next international location will be?
Probably Jeddah, just don’t expect it for a while.
It’s a cool but weird location
Can you do jeddah Saudi Arabia
Not now, but next time I cover an international location it will probably be Jeddah.
There Is A ShowBiz Pizza Plaza Commercial
Where?
Right Here (But It's ShowBiz Pizza Fiesta) th-cam.com/video/IHKBkNR6QuI/w-d-xo.html
@@GFrawlies2010 I’m not sure it’s related then, that’s Showbiz Pizza Fiesta, not Plaza.
You Can Make A Video On ShowBiz Pizza Fiesta
Will they build a Freddy fazbear mega pizza plex
