That was such a great video! Glad I made the final cut! The fans of CEC I was able to meet were great, and I had a great time chatting and meeting you. What was your favorite part of the event? 😄
Its always fun to watch the old bots perform!
@@SetsStreetsEats Indeed!
@@OdensMovieMagic agreed
The fans being ecstatic to see you enter the building was so awesome. Probably made their day
Indeed it did!
THis location was originally a show biz location, chuckie cheese was originally in another shopping center about a mile away
Hello Chris we came in from Texas for the reopening as a surprise for my son. He was even more surprised to see you come in. He was shy and didn't have the courage to come up to you. You made his day by taking a picture with him. I wish you much success and that you may continue to inspire the younger generations. Thank you for being a humble and awesome person. It was an epic day all around. 😊
I remember you guys, it was great meeting you, Im glad he had a good time!
Hey! I also live in Texas but I wasn’t able to make it here tho :(
That makes my heart warm to see all your fans say hi! I appreciate your hard work and dedication to the legacy of Chuck E. Cheese.
The reason why the salad bar is not there anymore is because this is a low volume store, meaning it is not in a major city, and cec decided to do something to those stores including this one, which is reducing their hours and no more salad bar, so that’s why the salad bar had cotton candy in it
Yep although pineville gets to keep their salad bar
Epic! Glad to see you attended Springfield's grand reopening
Chris has done it! He is in Illinois, guys! There’s Springfield (as he already visited), VOLO, Crystal Lake, Gurnee, Melrose Park, Arlington Heights (only 2015 dance floor left), and more, oh my! Thank you so much Chris! Look forward to hopefully seeing you at Crystal Lake!
It is sad Crystal lake will be gone soon I wish it was saved
Crystal Lake went bye bye… I stopped in there for a bit when I went to Volo.
Local here.
That place was my childhood. So cool to see this.
same i grew up here in IL
So glad they still have the animatronic band!!!
Hey Chris bower thanks for going to the grand reopening of the CEC in Springfield IL and recording it so we can experience it as well. I unfortunately couldn’t go because I live in the east coast but I always wanted to go to a legacy store grand reopening and in a way I did with this video. You may or may not read this but either way I appreciate you going and indirectly giving me an amazing CEC grand reopening. Hope you reach 1 mil
It was such a pleasure to meet you, Chris! And I can’t thank you enough for including my friends and I in it! Hopefully someday our paths will cross again!
Until then, continue doing what you do because you’re great at it!
I hope so too!
I love the songs they preform! And also it’s awesome that it is still completely phase 4 and 3!
DUDE my grandparents used to take my sisters and i here every grandparents day, its awesome to see it reopened! And they brought the animatronics back, to boot? No freakin' way!
Man you're lucky. I'm 16 and love Chuck E Cheese's still, I wish I had a car right now to see all these locations. Thanks for doing all these videos
Chucks got some moves 🎉
They removed the salad bar to cut costs, they also close earlier now. I’m glad they left the artwork alone. It looks good!
Wife and I were just there a couple weeks ago in our willys wonderland gear! Happy to see the animatronics are more in a functioning state! Pasqually was looking terribly slow stiff. Gave it the cool creepy vibe, but wanted to see everything in it's prime. Birthday is soon 🎉 gonna go back!
I live in Illinois all my life born and raised I grew up going to this chuck and cheese is nice to see some remodeling to get
Also im glad the balloon drop was able to do more well because more recently even the entire bags have fallen from the ceiling
thank god that the company is making more retro stores
This was a really cool video , im in Chicago i might have to take a trip just for the nostalgia of the animatronics
Chuck E being the ticket blaster is so funny 😂
Chris your so cool we need to get u to 1M
From your lips to gods ears as they say lol
Haha!
Your pineville Video should have waited At the grand reopening it was such a huge turn out!
Happy to see a legacy store in the Midwest.
Good job
This Reminds Me of My Chuck E Cheese in Columbus
Yeah there was signage for Garden Fresh Salads right above where the salad bar must have been located
Hi Chris, this video is so cool.Based on what we saw, the Grand Reopening could have been very good. Have a nice day and have a nice summer.
Ayyyyyyy just noticed you changed your pfp and it looks very nice. What was something or somethings you enjoyed about being at the grand re-opening? And it's so great that there are fans who were nice to meet you! You definitely have a growing fan base!
Yeah I loved meeting everybody and watching the bots perform, it made the night alot of fun!
Cool
Springfield IL is so cool!
They kept the old artwork, old booths, and the adventure exterior logo? Awesome!
Avenger exterior u meant
@@maxchampion4289 same thing
That was a *great* video. I like the CU 1-Stage, I like the Showbiz Pizza Time era commercials in the background early on, It was a banger!
The classic art and signage is a welcome sight!
Can I watch this on here tomorrow sets streets and eats and can this make me feel like cheer up on here tomorrow
Great video as always ! Really really wish we could have gotten another Midwest legacy store, a lot wanted Chase Milwaukee or Brookfield WI to be the legacy store with a studio C phase 3 store but oh well..
Looks like fun times were had by all! And you must have been flattered when those kids recognized and ran up to you
I compleatly forgot we had that here
10:39 What's up Chuck
What’s even rare is that Pasqually Has the old Orange swirl and jasper still has beach bears guitar
Heyyyyyy Chris gave me a sticker here!!!
Awesome video you should go back to Nanuet but on a Thursday cause that’s when they do throwback Thursdays, where they play old shows and avenger Chuck comes out and dances to old live shows
I love how excited they were to see you!!
I was just there last month lol the tech there was really nice as well
16:09 not as dirty as Visalia 😂
Wish Gurnee was also saved 😢
(Still glad there is 1 that got saved in illinois!)
I went with my grandmother to Pineville's grand opening. During the raffles, she won a free birthday party for 10 kids that was only good at Pineville. Just shows how unlucky we are that we won the only prize we couldn't use.
I love your videos
loving the new profile picture
Wow !
Even though I was unable attend (since I live 4 hours away) I’m glad you had fun!
What a great video Chris, keep up the great work 👍
Hi! Your my fav cec UA-camr!1! But I wish you would’ve been at the Pineville reopening😢 it’s my local Chuck e cheese
There was one of these In my state in Whitehall pa!
I mean would i be any different if i saw you walk into a cec store and i was there?, those fans showed pure love to you!
Hi Chris!
Wish I was there😢
6:18, they actually were never going to roll it out company wide, the stage was installed only at 3-Stage locations that had to relocate the stage
Its literally 3 hrs away from me
it was very unexpected that springfeild would keep their stage. the stage was in pretty good condition after all so its a good investment for cec entertainment
It was cool to meet you there chris
Love your videos! Very glad this stage was saved. Very odd that they god rid of the salad bar. Must not be very popular at this location. Also, the serial for the animatronics here are from July of 1981. I heard somewhere that they still have parts from Billy Bob in storage.
Hi Chris it's very cool you saw the 1st re grand opening Chuck E Cheese 👍🙂💜
The person in chuck seems to be having a blast 😂
I wish chuck e cheese is at Canada 😢
great video
Yess Chuck got da movies ❤
Corp really said “the kids don’t like the animatronics anymore”
I do😊
Right?!
no way that's my chuck plush the cool chuck 3:14
Congratulation, I love Chuck E. Cheese
I'm visiting every year now
Imagine I bet they don’t but imagine they added curtains
Yeah but they won’t be adding them
I've been to 2 CEC grand reopenings! The first one in Rockville and the second one in Catonsville! The next one will be in Altoona!!
I was planning to go to this but we are on vacation. But its okay because I can just visit someday.
I love the new logo!
the Beaverton location that you went to started to get its 2.0 remodel I hope they keep some old posters the stuff
I'm bumed I missed the reopening.I tried to get off work to go but couldent. But friday I'm definitely going up to Springfield.
Can you visit the Walmart in Kapuskasing Ontario? Its the last retro Walmart in the world.
They should install a show in East Orlando!
Chris I love your new pfp!
It makes me so happy seeing them keep the nostalgic art up on the walls. This store is beautiful!! Love how big the arcade is!
Edit: Rather ironic it's "Chuck E.'s Make Believe Band" but the TVs still say Munch's 😂
this is what they should do to the stores, have them be hybrids. They could also sell the stores and allow them to be privatly owned, but i know thats messy. I would love to see well mantained CEC stores, with the animatronics. I was going to have my 21st at a place by me, but they got rid of there animatronic about a month ago. Im glad i got to visit before they removed the stage, but it sucks
Great video Chris I think the stains could have possibly be from when the 3 stage was removed and maybe the people working with them didn’t clean their hands before touching them when putting them on the new at the time CU-1 stage (of course it’s just a theory)
I hear the chuck e cheese's where a kid can be a kid song
Anyways glad u enjoyed it despite the low attendance compared to Pineville it was crowded as legit although I didn’t go and love the new pfp ❤
Wait they still have the phase 4 logo they're keeping it?
Yo dude the jammin jester are back up at enchanted castle someone just made a video about it
I saw the title and got real excited and was hoping it was PTT style stage... but it's not.. I didn't go to Showbiz Pizza when I was a kid. Where would the closest PTT style stage be then to Kentucky now?
The only one in operation I know of is at Smittys super service station
Cmon Chris you cannot pass on the cheesy bread!
I had dinner just before or I totally would have lol
See! It’s not that hard to put the dance floor in front of the stage, they shouldve done that in the first place!
yeah that would be a good idea the kids dancing in the floor and the bot singing
@@TheAlchemistSBYeah, but CEC is cheap and doesn't care about making fans happy.
@@devanshouse5027 Nope -_-
it's a little bit weird that the sign at the top say's "Chuck E's Make Believe Band" but on the tv it say's "Munch's Make Believe Band"🤔
(EDIT 1: I Like and Subscribed to your Video)
#savenaplesCOLstage 5 legacy’s are odd 6 are even.
