please don't go bothering the city asking to get in! we have taken everything of value that we could without ripping the place to shreds and there's nothing left worth the effort, and i don't want anyone involved getting a bunch of messages. thank you go check out halls's live that was taken before we left! it shows some stuff that wasn't in the video, like the door of the dark room having a label saying it is infact laser tag: instagram.com/p/C7AC-WYpYAp/
I know it was hard to untangle character cables while video taping. But it shows your dedication to the fans who wished they could be there with you that you did that. Thank you.
First thing I would do is start clipping off the wire ties that hold those cables together. It's easier to untangle. I'll bet you did that. Also, I would take a saws all to that stage to pull stuff out of there more easily. No crawling under. I am surprised they left the Beach Bear stand. That was dumb of them. That's like taking the Rolfe off his stand (legs) and leaving the legs behind. The world is a better place because of you.
imagine CEC Actually Decided To Open In This Spot Instead of The Mall Imagine A Unique Studio C Cappa lol they prob would just demolish the stages of the Rae and then place the V1 Cappa On The Former Space
I believe Looney Bird's closed around late 2002 - early 2003. I read that the Chuck E. Cheese in Jackson was originally going to be in that space before they decided to go where it is now
Wow! I was in talks with multiple previous building owners earlier this year hoping to make this trip myself, but I’m so glad someone did before the building was taken down! Thank you for posting this, and preserving what you could!
I'm very grateful that you and hallsofvallhalla got to save the stuff that was left on the stage and other stuff that you found of value in the location. and will be now given a 2nd life because of you and hallsofvallhalla
I drive past here all the time and had no clue all of this was still here… I remember going there as a kid and LOVING it. I remember thinking it was my favorite place in the world. I was so young then that my brain had kinda forgotten about it until after the blow up of five nights at Freddy’s and after watching videos of the games it all came rushing back! I look it up now and again to see if there is new information or videos and I’m so glad I found this one. It is just a DREAM to imagine all this was still there just waiting for all these years….
that's amazing!! I'm so glad I was able to bring this all to you, even if some of it is a little bittersweet. this place looked beyond fun in it's prime and I'm happy you were able to reconnect with your childhood even for just a moment! this location has a special place in my heart even though I never had the chance to experience it when it was open, so I wanted to give it the honor it deserves
It’s really cool that the place was kept like this for at least 20 years, most Chuck E. Cheese’s that closed in the 2010’s or even the 2020’s usually get taken over in a year
wow, this is pretty cool. my aunt and uncle on my moms side actually did this once! i dont think its the same location but my aunt actually took some old props and has them in her house in texas. itd be cool if someone could collect all the props from these buildings ppl took from and made just one big restaraunt thats as close as could be for what it was when it was around. id love to explore an old CEC/Showbiz building one day.
Wow this is so amazing, I'm so happy and thankful that you are able to go inside and take video. I just can't believe it's been sitting there for 20 years!! Thanks for this spectacular video!!! Job well done!! ❤
Omg I’m so happy you took everything and didn’t let it go to waste 🙏 bless your heart for taking what probably took hours to take everything out of there including character cables and props 😇
This video was pretty awesome to watch! And really interesting at the same time! And I really wish looney bird was still open also keep up the good work! 👍
I’ve heard some great stories from this place, it was a genuinely happy place with tons of great memories for many people. Seeing all the love that went into the wall murals, and seeing how the place looked in its prime, made me genuinely wanna tear up. Even as I type this, I’m holding back the tears, I never grew up at this place, but somehow I could feel the memories through the cold, empty walls that were once warm with laughter, singing, the sounds of the arcade, sounds of laser tag guns, the ruckus of bumper cars, and the smell of fresh pizza in the kitchen. All that is gone now, leaving behind only the memories, which is something that can’t be taken away from us, and something that we can always cherish. EDIT: I realize I accidentally said everything that you said in the video, just with a different words, but trust me when I say I was speaking honestly and from the heart.
@@BradyT-gg5 you said it perfectly! there's something so deeply upsetting about seeing a place like this that was once so happy and full of life now sitting empty and boarded up waiting to be demolished, it's such a bitter feeling but I am beyond happy that we got the chance to appreciate and document it one last time and save what we could
at the end of the video i dont see the 2 media racks wich the one with the original reels was probably the rarest item there, was it too heavy/big for you to take ? or did you took it of video bc this was prob one of the most worth it stuff with the valves bank
we did get the two reel to reel tape decks that were in the backstage room if that's what you're talking about, on the second picture of the icecream and buffet signs at 31:43 they're underneath them!
@@coastline_craze i was also talking about the full rack we see at 12:39 in the video, they look to not be the same as the ones in the backstage room but maybe im just dumb ;-; thks for replying to my comment !
our first bot came from ebay but the rest are from all over the place! jack turner, private collectors, aaron fechter himself, it's really a mixed collection
he was taken out in 2014, not 2023! I'm not sure exactly of his whereabouts though as I haven't seen him since the 2014 post, there's a chance he may be with a new owner but I just don't know It's very likely he's safe somewhere though!
@@DavisHuckabee the entire bot was taken by a user named Clockwork on retro pizza zone as i explain at 0:31 i did actually find posts from 2017 of them talking about the restoral of looney bird and they show a picture of him in the same condition so it's likely that they still have the bot, but there hasn't been any posts since.
@baddumtiss6541 unfortunately that's due to youtube not allowing me to link outside sources, if you search "tapatalk looney bird's jackson TN" on google it should be the first result!
our bots are from all over but unfortunately the band from this looney bird's had been removed long ago, from my knowledge nobody knows where they went other than looney bird himself and I don't even know his current status we have bots from aaron fechter himself, bots from jack turner, bots from private collectors, and dave harbour's 3 bots, so we have a large variety in our band! we know most of the original locations they came from but not all
@@coastline_craze he doesn’t really tell which location it came from, he just claims that the Billy Bob he shows if from a off shoot location that’s looney bird, he says the store was gutted in 2005 and the animatronics got sold off but doesn’t specify with location he got his Billy Bob from.
@@TheMightyManhog1010 yeah that must be the covington LA location, that one was removed in 2005 and I believe the whole show survived. looney bird is the only confirmed bot to be surviving from jackson TN
Awesome. On an unrelated note, what did it smell like in there? Was it musty at all? I mean i wasn’t there in person so of course I wouldn’t be able to determine whether or not the place is in good condition but from what I see in the video it looks like it could be repurposed. It just hurts knowing that the wall art and architecture is all going to be demolished
surprisingly there wasn't really a smell from what i can remember, I was looking and there didn't seem to be any kind of water damage or mold which surprised me. the major damage just seemed to be the exterior of the ceiling falling in at some places or damage from people breaking in and living there, I believe the building totally could've been repurposed

Wow way to save those treasures.
You kinda sound like BMO from Adventure Time! Anyways amazing video, you've earned a new subscriber :>
haha that's awesome! thank you so much!
It’s would so cool if they turn the building into a Chuck E. Cheese but it’s remodel and it will be like a former location
unfortunately the whole strip mall is being demolished, but I wish they would save the building even if something different goes in it
Hey! I need some tips of how you contacted the city and how you were let in? Thank you! And dont worry its not for looney birds lol
Did you get the curtain tracks?
vro that’s so cool
I actually went to that location once as a kid. I couldn't remember what the name of the place was and it was driving me crazy not knowing.
that's awesome!! I'm glad I could take you down a trip through memory lane for a moment
