I’m glad to see CEC came to their senses and decided to leave some of the animatronics stages alone. It would also be neat if one of the retro locations was made to replicate a PTT, with recessed lighting and black or brown ceilings and some of the play equipment and features from that era.
As a person that grew up with the CEC 3-Stage, I am very excited for this treatment that the Pineville location is getting. I hope as well that they could bring back the Pizzacam animatronic to that location, since the stage is being saved.
Chuck E Cheese in Hicksville NY is my local store, and even I'm glad that they are keeping the 1 stage cause its been in amazing condition and even it has been their for 30 years in Hicksville NY from January 24th 1994 till June 2024

Fantastic news!!! Oh man it’s a great day to be a CEC fan. I can’t wait to see what they are all going to look like. Especially the “museum” at Pineville. I won’t be able to see any of them except maybe Northridge, in person, but I look forward to all the video coverage. I’m super stoked to see the “Retro Store” in NY. Too bad we won’t be able to get preserved version of the Rocker, Road, Alpha or Cappa stages. But yeah, at least we are getting a version of each animatronic style.
Amazing Video man! to be honest for somebody with 28.7k subscribers (more than most people on TH-cam ever get) you're INCREDIBLY underrated! I'm very happy to hear this news, and click on a video whenever you give an update on Chuck E Cheese animatronics!
I think it would've been a good idea to keep at least one animatronic from each location and put them on display as a historical piece, while having these 5 locations be the last to have performing shows. In fact, if the rumours are true, they could put that 16M bot from Nanuet in a store that doesn't have animatronics as a similar display
Would've loved to see a Road stage saved, but I am perfectly fine with what they're doing. They've completely exceeded my expectations and I can't wait to visit these locations.
I really hope the employees at the remaining animatronic locations keep the animatronics in good condition, it sucks how horrible a lot of them have become. There wouldnt be a point in keeping them if they arent going to maintain them well
As someone who has had the chance to go to Pineville and live near it it is a treat to see but I’m kind of sad that the Roadside won’t be saved as it is my childhood location
I’m from maryland and grew up going to the CEC in laurel which happened to have a 3 stage. I went probably thousands of times as a kid it was my favorite place to go. It’s a shame they removed the robots on that stage I remembered they were always so cool. They had them up until 2022/2023 I think. I would go there for pizza in 2020/2021 and the robots were still there but didn’t move just stood there like statues. I wish they could’ve saved it. It used to be a showbizz pizza that my mom went too as a kid
If it helps, there’s a place called Gulliver’s Kingdom that has retro fits of the rockafire animatronics! (Yeah, they aren’t Chuck E. Cheese animatronics, but they’re the same as the three stage ones accept they’re all bears aside from Fatz and Rofle/Earl, but you may enjoy it!)
@@FiremanSamBoy2008 there’s one in Derbyshire town of Matlock Bath, England and I’m pretty sure that there’s other locations too, but the Derbyshire location is the one I’m positive that still have the animatronics
I’m also hearing that Pineville might get a pizza cam soon so im guessing the Laurel Maryland Pizza cam is gonna get sent to Pineville cuz there pizza cam and 3 stage were sent to the SPT Warehouse and I’m also guessing they might use the pizza cam in Cec corporate office in dept 18
So I’m just gonna say this, the difference between Northridge and Hicksville is Northridge has a 2 stage which as implied is 2 stages, but not in the sense like a 3 stage because it’s still technically on one stage, however one of the characters is separated, from the others. While Hicksville has a one stage where none of the characters are separated from one another
No it's confirmed Pineville-Charlotte, NC. Researched. Btw I actually live like an hour away from the CU 1-Stage, though Peoria (my local) still woulda been a good option as well, their 3-Stage was so HQ and well cared for. I'm still livid that that one was ruined so early on....
@@TheTNTMuffin Aside from just the rare sideshows? At least there's the Beagles and 4 Little Shavers. Would be nice to remake the Beach Bowzers and put 'em there too despite being a mere retrofit
Does anyone know the date of Pineville NC’s grand reopening? It’s about an hour from here and the closest retro store to me! I’m not sure if they dropped anything about the reopening date, but I really hope they drop it soon!
Asking fans to donate memorabilia to a museum feels sus, they could close or renovate the location at any time and we all know they like to destroy stuff…ironic how these items are safer in the hands of private collectors than the company’s
At least there keeping em because half of the entire world barley has animatronics only got one animatronic at my local one which got I’ve invented to a stupid dance floor
Personally I would've preferred Middletowns 1 stage to be kept insted of hikishvil as Middletown is a underated location having a really good condition 1 stage and being one of the last 1 stages to have a turn n table for chuck e. I would've liked to see them reprogram it. Also they have all 5 phase 3 carecter portrets next to each other witch I think was really cool.
Can you do a video about that one international kinda retro store? I forgot the actual location, but I know that it has a Studio C Beta and a dance floor at the same time.
If they keeping the 3 stages can they bring back Karlisa McKinney as the voice of Helen Henny and Duncan or Scott Wilson as Chuck E cheese and Scott Wilson as Mr.Munch
To my knowledge nobody has donated their non merch to the company because its very likely it WILL eventually be destroyed also non merch is really rare to come by
Hi there! I noticed on the Hicksville photo (0:56), it looks exactly like one that I took. it my IG message invite can be accepted, I can compare the two to show what I mean. If this photo is mine, I’m not mad, but I would appreciate if credit was put for my photo. Huge fan by the way!
I am still frustrated about what they did to Huntsville. What a huge WASTE of a "remodel" to a store that already had a renovated layout way back ago. Cant believe they are doing all this retro stuff now while they missed out on so many great stores such as Springfield Ohio. But oh well, damage has been done so I refuse to visit Huntsville anymore. What a waste of a good store just to have a big TV and dance floor!
We need to save the one, and only in utah is it way too nostalgic for me, and many people will agree with me judging that it is the last place in utah and the fnaf books taking in utah it will be lost being the last animationic pizza place in the state until ...🤫
@nevzchance3775 I'm glad if it is! That was one of the rare stages in my opinion...it phased out quick before many saw it. I just hope they have at least one of every type of stage stored.
@jaypaidincash yeah it got phased out sometime in the 1990s, and actually Rockfords stage was supposed to get replaced in the late 90's with a Studio C alpha.
Apparently Nanuet will NOT be programmed to perform. That information was wrong, sorry!
