I went to this very location exactly around this time. It was a dream spot for any child like me. Thanks so much for reminding me of how amazing this place was.
aww! whoever was in the chuck e. walkarounds, i've got to give them respect! they're so dedicated to their job, just look at their active dancing and interaction with people :D
@@bonkbanana3763 She unfortunally does not work at chuck e cheeses anymore I work at this location today she does collect old vintage chuck e cheese pizza time theatre stuff and Showbiz stuff still though
These places were a heck of a lot bigger back then, mine is just a large room that they cram everything into, they had balconies and multiple floors jeez
5:47 There's a parody poster featuring The Rock-afire Explosion's Mitzi Mozzarella;but by this point Showbiz Pizza transformed into Chuck E Cheese and The rock-afire Explosion became Munch's Make Believe Band.
Michelle Van Der Wegen Awesome home video! You seemed to really loved your job there. Even by the time I was entering 6th grade in 2001, it seemed like the era where the employees of CEC actually gave a damn was long past. I wonder what happened...
cr1901 - I think it's this current generation's upbringing. However, their are still some employees who strongly believe in the original "Make Magic" formula: Myself, Matt the Franchize, and CEC Florida included.
I feel that the Rockafire explosion was more all age friendly. But Chuck-e-cheese’s were only focused on the ages of 4-8. Not saying it wasn’t a fun place to be.
This is confusing. Chuck E Cheese is dancing around the room, and Munch's Make Believe Band is there,meanwhile there are still rock afire movie posters on the wall and it's still called Showbiz Pizza Place.
Can you tell me why the building behind Helen, munch, and Jasper flash in colors, because I been looking on images for building and they don't flash light
Some stores remodeled around the same time as they converted to CU, to be consistent with the image being presented on stage and around the store, others kept the SPP artwork when they converted to the 3-Stage.
No... Chuck E. was behind the closed curtain.... Chuck E.'s curtain would stay closed for the LIVE performances to give the appearance that Chuck E. came off the stage to perform. Most of the time, when performing as Chuck, I would just come into the showroom, but occasionally, I would hide behind the closed curtain and jump out when the LIVE show began.
What’s a bummer is how bad a shape the show and alot I’ve seen from this time period! It completely boggles my mind since one of the first thing addressed from the point of just the use of the Rolfe & Earl tape iis to repair Rolfe & Earl since for a week, during CU they would be the only active characters supporting the entertainment and all the poor childern’s birthday parties that fell THAT week(talk about a bummer even if you were Kerry and dreamt of a more serious relationship with Rolfe) Hahaha cause they not only wouldn’t be working well, but you’d have a non-Aaron Fecter Rolfe & Earl since I’m sure he was fuming and being a giant baby, having being told his characters would not go on but their mechs sure as hell would so why would he help Showbiz and those poor kids who most likely went there because of him and his great creation but no he was only a millionaire from his buy out.
@Tehya Brown Thank you!.... well, it was back in 1991, but the district manager came to our location and I did get a .75 cent raise for my CEC skills.... that was a great raise for a teen back in the early '90's!!
I find this so odd to me that the Wisconsin Chuck E. Cheese used to be not dirty and gross it used to be a friendly place 💀 too bad I never got to experience this
Hard to believe how bad the characters are working for this show which was CEC Live '90 #1 and was produced on FOUR!/11/90... So by the time it was released for CU stages the following year, this and several I've seen right after CU happened, were either already all messed up or barely working... Pasqually's arms DO actually go up and down in this show, just saying lol
Michelle Van Der Wegen Well I've read that, but Pizzacam said that this LIVE show was first performed in a 1990 demo tape and the tape also showed the Pizza Time Theatre Rocker Stage characters in the background. I was just making sure if the show did come out in 1990 because I'm getting confused here.
finley rodriguez You are probably accurate.... this location, where I worked had just recently switched over to the CEC characters, I believe in '90 we still had Rock-afire Explosion. (So we may have been a little behind?) :)
I was able to view the training video but given creative control to create a routine that fit my capabilities and personality, while staying true to Chuck E.'s character.
@@thankfulforlife4433 Unfortunately, no. This was back in the day of those huge camcorders that fit a full size VHS inside... had to convince the parents to come tape me.
@@michellevanderwegen7874 oh I see. I notice through video footage and archives how employees back in the 80s and 90s seemed more passionate and enthusiastic then today’s with a few exceptions
@@thankfulforlife4433 I was very proud of my job there...so much so that I had my senior picture taken with CEC... and the photography studio printed the picture in The Green Bay Press Gazette.
@@michellevanderwegen7874 thx for the clariffication I knew alreadn and ive been there and sheeesh its changed, i wished i could go back in the 1900's and revisit the same old chuck e cheesie but in the 1900's era. I heard they had a ball pit and i bet it was fun
