Very neat visit! This 1 Stage is the last Munch’s Make Believe Band stage in the entire Washington state, after Lynnwood permanently closed in July 2023.
This is my store. We have the wink from Lynnwood WA upstairs that we can hopefully get on the stage at some point. Working on the show lights first. That's funny you looked at rubble bubble, I have to inventory all those tokens every week. I've seen a handful of showbiz tokens in there. Munch's hat is in my office. Should be reattached soon. I'm slowly working on more movements for all the characters. It's a lot of work just keeping the games up alone. The wall token is in storage too. I don't know why. I wish they let me wear '80s tees at work, unfortunately they don't. That doesn't mean you can't, order yours today!
It’s amazing to hear some of the stuff you plan to do with the show! I’m kind of curious as well, but does the turntable and curtains still work manually even though they aren’t programmed anymore? I’m glad Bellevue’s show is getting the attention and love it deserves and I’m excited to see it again next time I’m in Seattle!
@@beccau20 They'll be there until they decide to remodel. All we can do is try our best to keep it in excellent condition with hopes they decide to keep it there. The other stores where they keep the band are much bigger locations though, able to compensate the animatronics AND a dance floor. They will be there until at least June though. Since this video was filmed we have a few more stage lights working so the show is improving.
My old CEC stomping grounds! Made some of the best memories visiting here in the 90’s and early 2000’s! So glad to see Bellevue still thriving with being one of the last 4 shows in the West Coast! Thank you for visiting and sharing Chris!
My favorite thing when you revisit stores is seeing the Band still doing well at the location. Genuinely makes me happy they're not gone yet 💙 #savepineville #savepineville3stage
This was my CEC growing up, I bought my first pair of converse in red solely because Jasper. Also I remember being small enough to have issues trying to pet their feet. Although it’s changed a bit, I really hope this CEC stays in business!!
It's pretty surreal that these animatronics are still here, hardly moving at all. When I worked at this place, they were practically frozen in place like shown in the video in the beginning, with some of them not even working. I distinctly remember Munch being turned off at one point, his eyes were pretty much stuck. I really hope they fix these someday but I doubt it.
I have a question for you. Even if we're too old to do children's activities like arcades, do they allow grown ups to go in by themselves just for the food?
@@ShowbizIdaho2024 Also do you know if kent is remodeled? I called up the store and asked if they still had the studio c animatronic, they didn't even know what i was talking about lol

Wow you do !!!!!!
If that wink or token or hat you have in storage is taking up too much space, I'm sure Chris would be happy to store it for you! ;)

How much longer do you anticipate the animatronics will be there? Do you know when they will be phased out?

Hi Chris this video is so good, have a great weekend Chris.
I want this stage to be saved cause they might fix the turn table😢
I live here and go by there all the time, never knew this about the place

I don’t think I’ve heard about this stage before, can’t wait to see this!
Chris check out tacoma wa its a former ptt and has 2 floors
Me either. Also, can’t wait to see the video.
the old booths and phase 3/4 store exteriors and wall art are almost as important to me as the animatronics.
I just found out that the original Metairie Chuck-E-Cheese closing Sunday and relocating to the other side of the shopping center it's in
@@JamesGrantham-c7q Noooo 😢
How on earth did i not know about this stage ?!?!?
you should check out cantallgao’s stage in chile if you ever go there
Awesome!! I just bought a beach bear
I have a question for you. Even if we're too old to do children's activities like arcades, do they allow grown ups to go in by themselves just for the food?
3:22 no sadly it does not work.

What era was your time period for Chuck E. Cheese as a kid ? Also what location was the one you visited as a child.
He grew up in the 80s with showbiz pizza
Cool
#savebellevue let's try
I missed your vid sorry I was asleep
I thought they removed their animatronics
I like your videos
I live in Seattle
Are they removing this stage?
No not yet, 2.0 is unknown rn.
@@ShowbizIdaho2024 Just found out called up the store rumored to be January
@@ilyawashere4632 At the end of the year or early next year idk yet let’s see what happens.
@@ShowbizIdaho2024 Also do you know if kent is remodeled? I called up the store and asked if they still had the studio c animatronic, they didn't even know what i was talking about lol
@@ilyawashere4632 Kent got 2.0 so means the Studio C Alpha is gone now.
