Pizzacam's Restoration at Richmond VA CEC

Поділитися
Вставка
  • Опубліковано 25 вер 2024
  • For many years, since first installed in 1992, Pizzacam had been slowly falling apart to where you can barely recognize him.
    This became a good oppotunity to show that no matter how old the show is, you can always breathe new life in them.
    A group of good friends helped out to bring life back into Pizzacam and gave him a nice facelift.
    You can see Pizzacam at Midlothian Turnpike's CEC in Richmond VA.

      If the prop was so far gone, why was it kept in operation instead of being removed? Imagine what would have happened if the mechanism to lift it out of it's pen suddenly began working again, or a kid climbed up and looked inside?
      It's good that they fixed it, but the management at that CEC is very questionable.

    Including which retro stores should we put next. I hope pineville can be saved, and Billings too and Tallahassee but that probably won’t happen (I think?) if Billings is saved, let’s hope that they can bring the pizzacam back because I have never seen one in person. I hope the same thing goes to pineville.

    Ahoyhoy There, Fellow UA-camrino! I have some old Toy Robots and Animatronics that are falling apart from the 1950s. They are so creepy, but I love them all! I have a Yonezawa Milk Drinking Litho Dog i call Ilk because the M on the milk cup he is holding was scratched off. I also have a One eyed 1950s walking Peter Pup who's Mohair was peeling back in the eye that was missing. I named him Piranha.
