I Stop By The CEC In Middletown NJ To See The Last 1 Stage Left In New Jersey! 

I’m an 80s kid and showbiz was my favorite place. Missed seeing fatz, Mitzy, Billy bob and the gang. Thanks for talking me back.

My childhood CEC! Glad to see the animatronics haven't gotten any worse than they were ten years ago, but the rest of the place made me sad to see. There were way more arcade games when I was a kid (and way more of a crowd too). It seems like they expanded the dining booths to make up for the lost gaming space. The area to the left of the entrance used to have the skytubes and a designated toddler's area, but clearly not anymore.

This is my childhood CEC!!! Thank you so much for visiting and documenting! So many memories here :)

idk why but your videos are really but really underrated, like, you literally travel around the u.s.a spending money on trips, Hotels, etc.., and only this for a thousands of Views, you really deserve more than 100k, well atleast we're going to 16K ❤️

Thank you for making these videos! My family doesn’t have a ton of money so we can’t really afford to travel that far, but we love going to see the animatronics at our local Chuck E Cheese, in Altoona PA even though the animatronics there don’t preform songs anymore and they’re being destroyed in May 2024 (confirmed by an employee during our Yesterday visit). So for us watching videos like yours is super great for us!

As soon I was bout to go bed and I saw this notification i am going to watch this video before I go to bed awesome video Chris keep up the good work 😊

I'm only here for the killer nostalgia. I lived in Keansburg in my childhood, from 2005-2009, so I was 3-7, and this was the only Chuck E. Cheese I've ever gone to in my life, even to this day.. My parents brought me here a lot with my old elementary school friends, and I'm so happy it still looks the same way it did as I remember it back in the 2000s. The animatronics look to be the original ones from when I was a kid, that's probably why there not in the best shape, if those are the OG's than they go as far back as I literally can remember. The thing that is missing though are these big crawl tubes that used to be behind the stage, they were to the right as you walked in, It looks like they were all replaced by Arcade games. Thats a shame. I had such a blast up there. Also, they're used to be a very iconic icecream machine in the front of the store.

You should honestly check out Huntington Beach, the oldest CEC location and the last from the 70s. I know I'm annoying but it's s piece of history and I'm honestly shocked how you haven't visited yet. Also, I was able to film no problem.

Nice!!! I went there this September! Cool video!

#savemiddletown1stage

There's a quite a few un-remodeled chuck e cheeses in southern cal, also national city's one stage has some interesting stuff in it.

I was just here today and I loved it!

There is still mays landing and brick as studio C betas

Love your videos keep it up 🎉❤

I don't know if you've heard the recent news as of like now but Chuck E Cheese has made the announcement that their getting rid of all of their animatronics in every single store except for the one in california so if we don't want Chuck E Cheese to actually go through with this completely F'd up decision everyone better be loud and very vocal to where Chuck E Cheese can hear every one of us complaining about this decision because this is so F'd up that words can describe SO EVERYONE MAKE YOU OPINIONS LOUD AND PROUD SO CHUCK-E-CHEESE CAN HEAR EVERY ONE OF US BECASUS THIS IS HISTORY AT STAKE HERE

Wait, I thought only the 2 stages ever had turntables?

You should ask the nice employee if they happen to have munches hat just laying around and tell them how it is a dream of yours to own a hat and wink one day. Probably a 1 and a million shot they could give it to you but hey crazier things have happened 😊

Cool

I asked an employee and they said it would be remodeled in late 2024

I missed you, I was just there! You should visit nanuet NY there the last phase 3 store in ny, I think you will like it

MY GUY! LETSGO!

If you're around Chicago in fall check out Bengtson's Pumpkin Farm and Fall Fest. They have some singing tractors and skeletons. Pretty neat place. Not sure if it's open year round as I'm from Michigan.

I’m going to check it out

I’m pretty sure they had a toddler zone up until the pandemic

What does cec do with the other animatronics after the remodels?

I worked here for two years 98-2000. Wow it’s changed so much inside.

That's the 2nd store I work at on occasion!! My main store is Bridgewater

Niiiiice!

I also wish a few more stores would get to keep the animatronics! we need to do a petition or send something to corporate! i live in nc and would love one of the old showbiz pizza 3 stages to stay! a 1 stage would be cool. as well as old chuck e cheese box stand setup (where the characters are behind boxes) too, if any are left.

Can you go to the nanuet ny store? They are the last phase 3 store in New York only thing is the exterior isn’t phase 3 but the interior is all phase 3 and I think they should have unique art even though they don’t have a full stage and just have a studio c beta but hey the studio c logo glows. But can you visit?

When do you plan to return to pineville?

Nice

wow you’re right, the gangs in pretty poor condition! I guess im used to the glamour of watching vids of the Super service station lol

there not gonna do it in pineville from what david said. i asked him about this during the grand reopening

All animatronic stages in NJ are gone :(

This is my local location

You should visit Maple Grove Chuck E. Cheese please😢❤❤❤❤

Bro how many locations have you went too I went to that one😂😂😂

There are 17, National City will be removing theirs very soon if not already
