I Visit 2 CEC In Charlotte, NC To See An Old Road Stage And 3 Stage With The Last Baby Munch! 

2:38 Helen agreeing with him😂😂😂

That three stage set up is SO amazing! Its so nice to see people putting effort into keeping these guys around. I would love to see them in person someday. Our local chuck e cheese got rid of our remaining animatronic before I had a chance to see it.

I wish someone would saved one complete set of Munch's Make A Believe Band like what Aaron Fechter did for The Rock Afire Explosion... because he has a huge shop in Florida!!!

I was born in Charlotte and I worked at the Showbiz Pizza Place on Highway 51 in the early 90's (89, 90, 91) during the "concept unification" right before I left for college in 1991. Showbiz was the absolute chit. It is hard to believe almost a quarter century later this location still has all the animatronics on all three stages. I remember dressing up as Billy Bob and my friend as Chuck E Cheese and we would chase each other around the 150+ arcade games and pinball machines. I remember doing "lock ins" where kids could spend the night, watch the show and play games all night long! I still take my 9 year old to this very CEC location to this day. They took out the sports room and the beverage bar. Heck the only thing that is really original from what I can tell are the locations of the bathroom, the tech room and the stage itself. Oh and now it is no smoking! LOL! Yeah you could order pitchers of beers, smoke stogies and watch the rear projection TV in the "sports bar" while your kids ran around with no supervision. The only thing constant is change. Thanks for posting this!

The building and baby munch are super cool to see working again, when I was a kid the one by me was set up like the street stage you described, it really was good.

That’s awesome , good to see people care about the animatronics , awesome individuals , thanks for another video , cheers from Milwaukee !

I came back and re watched this video it still blows me away at how amazing these guys are! I hope they are still in as good condition or better as they were in this video! I hope you can re visit this location again sometime soon!

Thanks Man! Always had a Happy time there

This vid gave me so much nostalgia. Former RU-vidr Big Cheese visited these two store frequently. Don’t know what happened to him or why he terminated his channel, but it’s good to see these two NC locations again. My fav stage of all time is the Huntsville AL location but the last one you showed w/ Munch Jr. and the awesome lighting is a close second. Side note: I couldn’t hear Alex very well when you were talking with him because the show was going on at that very moment. Perhaps you could have waited until they stopped performing before letting Alex show you around the stage?

awesome! i had no idea that the road stage there was getting signals again, very cool to see.

I love their Halloween decor!! Back when I went to Pineville in the summer they had nice summer ones as well!

7:10 Pasqually turns and stares into your soul

Awesome Video. It even had a wink!

your videos are keeping my life and joy afloat

It was great seeing you, Chris! Glad you enjoyed the stage :)

You've inspired me into go to these two locations, and the two closets to me at the moment

So glad I found your channel. I live close enough to this to make a trip. I'm def more of a rock a fire man but I can't wait to see this again either.

This stage is so much cooler than the one my store had. I loved my stage but this one is dope

I went to the Pineville one back in summer it is really cool!!

This is my local; I'm so happy you got to experience it! Alex did an amazing job with repairing show and I couldn't be happier!

Pineville has to keep the stage just like northridge

Great video! It's really sad how the Albemarle Rd Road Stage has been neglected. It used to be in perfect shape. With those flow controls cranked, they just tear themselves apart.

Awesome you went here. Beautiful conditioned show!!

so happy to see the animatronics got the tlc love they deserve, they look so lively. i hope they don't get removed for the crappy 2.0 remodel. wish other locations did the same when they had the chance

Pineville might be a next retro store! The fandom says Rumored to be the next retro store in January 2024 now!

It’s gonna stay!!!!!

2:34 Helen agreed

im glad some locations still keep their bots and old logo

Ay Les go another Chuck E. Cheese video on my birthday 👏

The 3 stagw on Pineville Mathews is the one I visited as a child when it was Showbiz and after xoxox

This is an amazing vidoe

Oh no, I didn't know Albermarle's location was the one that had the cursed Pasqually 😭 But the Pineville Mathews location is FIRE. I went there before the tech upgraded them all, I need to go back there sometime

Well thoughs that have a chance might as well still enjoy that cu three stage retro Rock-afire Explosion/Munch's Make Believe Band wanna be style look show. All those creative engineering animatronics look fabulous. I'd love a pic of retroed Fatz/cu Mr Munch look.

LOL at Pasqually's upside down moustache on the road stage.

I'd love to see you go to the lynnwood WA location! This is my local location, and it is one of the most beautiful and unique stages out there! Thanks for the great content!

I see a moon animatronic in the back too!!

Can you please do a pineville revisit next weekend?

Yo yo yo great news pinville is keeping there animatronics

I actually live not too far from Charlotte So this was cool to watch

the roadstage helen and chucky just looking at the camera is unsettling even though its just basic movements

I got interested in chuck e cheese by its history and how I used to go I wish the nearest one still had the animatronics and also made me interested in robotics I able to drive and these two locations are 1 hour drive to get there I plan to vist hopefully they still go this there it so cool to see thing from the past

Pasqually went sicko mode

Speaking of Hawaiian pizza at Chuck E Cheese I remember seeing a TV show where the premise was they revisited foods from the 1980s that you can’t get today. In that particular episode they looked at 1980s Chuck E Cheese Pizza. They recreated the 1980s Hawaiian pizza, which did have pineapple and ham… but interestingly it also had almonds. You can’t get this pizza at CEC today, but the host of the show admitted the combination sounded odd, yet it still worked as a pizza

Those animatronics still terrify me at almost 30 years old

That 3 stage has the moon

i was at pineville a while back.

That last Munch Jr. is actually a replica built by a CEC tech employee

Having a yellow haired Helen Henry makes it stand out from the rest 😉

Can't wait for this video I'm going to be so impatient

I went to the second location in 2020 and there wasnt a baby munch back then!! Im assuming he was a newer addition?

You should go to Asheville North Carolina next

helen looks so pretty!

whats the music when you were looking at the first stage?

Can you please go there again today or tomorrow and can you please tell them to save the stage?

pinesville Munch Jr isn’t it’s original mech it was added back in 2021 as a custom bot how it moves up is that he’s connected to munch’s footap

So that’s interesting! There are some locations that still have these afterall. I wonder if these locations that do are privately owned locations sort of like that line blockbuster video in where is it like Alaska?

I got to see the Charlotte NC Pineville one

i don't understand how cec corporate can let these automatronics rot in their open businesses. i wish they'd just sell them to private collectors so they can get the love they deserve

I might go to this location this Friday, there tech left so I have to hurray to visit there

That 3 stage must’ve in Pineville. I believe the only left in Charlotte unless that’s the one on the east side on Abermarle Rd. I wish they factored in programming the curtains. That’s the wow factor for me lol. If only I knew how to repair/fabricate parts and sew, I’d make sure they never leave and move ultra fluid like

I had no idea there were still locations with animatronics. I really hope they keep the Pineville location because I've heard so much care has been put into that one to keep it alive. I also think one former ShowBiz location that underwent Concept Unification should be kept as a nod to its history.

I remember when there was a Chuck E. Cheese it being the closest but sadly 2 hours away- It closed later and became a Bernie and Phil’s .

7:30 dose munch still have his old mask from concept unfication when the show was the rock-a-fire and when it was turned in to CEC

I Think you Should do Sam’s Circle Chesapeake VA They have the oldest 2 stage and a rare car ride And their store also is fully franchised!

The next thing it needs is pizzacam, and the old TV

I realized that both of them while you were there they both played witches crew

That Looks Just Like Willy's Wonderland.

Funny Mr munch wasn't ever my favorite character hence I love the color purple. and loves pizza. Creative engineering Baby bear choo choo/ wanna be Munch Jr look is so cute looking.

I think the only animatronic they're missig is the pizza cam. Other than that, they're all there!

some locations that work great and are getting 2.0... maybe instead of destroying the working ones, they should be put to good use and be transferred to locations like Albemarle (the one with the road stage) who's animatronics aren't working too good.

I don’t know but when I was younger I saw the animatronics in toy boxes and there’s now nothing to see about it

That 3 Stage was absolutely amazing! Not only Munch Jr. but the Building too?

1:34 - I just noticed they left Pasqually's mustache on upside down

The first stage Jasper looks like baby Patrick.

Your Cec videos that you eat in make me so hungry

I feel like pasqually has the V1 PTT mask at Charlotte Albemarle

pasquallys mustache in upsidedown on the road stage

Yeah. You can. hear a air leak in helen

6:44 baby munch!

2:57 that is terrifying

I think 3 stage was in better condition in the summer

Poor Helen’s eye ❤

I think it's very funny because when I looked at the wink Len helen honey nor did joe head

I don’t know if pineville will actually be the next retro store because I want it to be the next retro store.

Hey, just wanted to let you know that the Richmond, VA (midlothian) 3 stage got removed unfortunately

Was albermarl road working?(this is rock afire fan 101 but on my other account)

Corporate should seriously leave this stage alone!

I’ve gone to both of them! Pasqually was looking pretty… bad in the road stage.

Amazing video as always! One thing I should probably mention is that West Des Moines still have their Building and Moon. They don’t run anymore unfortunately but they’re still back there! On my first visit, my friend who works at that store allowed me to go on stage and take a peek at them! But anyways, great video! Looking forward to more!

Chuck e cheese animatronic has eye brows

Is it just me, or in the first Chuck E Cheese, chuck was looking at him the whole time??

Does anyone know the closest cyberamic stage to Atlanta GA? I believe its this one, not sure tho.

Bro this is the exact same Chuck E. Cheese location I grew up with😭😭😭

Bros mustage is upsidedown💀💀

4:53 Pasqually is not drumming on the drums! he is drumming on the middle part (I dont know what the name of it is).

also i hope you can go to tallahassee there wink has a red hat i know you siad you will not be in fl by december when they remodel but the remodel has been pushed back to next year

Chuck e cheese ND reopening November 10th

Can you go to the Augusta Georgia location they have an amazing 3 stage too that was my old local CEC and Showbiz Pizza Place that my mom went too!!!
