Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza Strike It Up - Union, NJ (1997)

Hey everyone, I know it’s been a minute but this was a video I meant to upload for a while. I tried to upload this vid back in 2019 but UA-cam kept taking the video down so I ended up just uploading it to dailymotion. After hearing how trash the audio was on that vid and enhancing the quality making the video full screen, I decided to try and upload it on YT again. This is a video that’s been on YT for a while on Richard’s original CEC account but it’s such an old video in old UA-cam quality I got the original video from The Rapid T. Rabbit Show and overdubbed the audio with the official live show audio. Always nice to see Union in its glory days. They just opened up a new CEC in Union about a month ago and it’s not nearly as cool as the original Union CEC in the 90’s but at least they brought it back to Union since they said they would relocate (not sure how great it really is though cuz new CEC sucks).
It’s crazy I still upload videos every once in a blue moon but sometimes it’s nice to have content to still be able to upload for you guys. With most stores in 2023 being 2.0 now and the fact that I don’t really even care to film the stage shows anymore (the rare ones that actually perform) I have to announce my retirement from filming CEC videos (kinda already was done with it but I think I filmed a video at Edison a few months ago while they were receiving 2.0). It shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that I no longer want to be a grown man still filming CEC videos lol (especially since there are no stages to even film) but I have a couple old videos I want to upload and maybe I’ll fix my old camcorder that I’ve been saying I’ll fix for years one day lmao. I still have Birthday 2008 from Union that I wanted to upload since like 2017 haha. But thanks to all my subscribers for supporting me over the years cuz I’ve been doing this for a long time longer than a lot of newer CEC fans were even born lol. Thanks for watching!
Filmed at the old 1660 US-22 Union, NJ Chuck E. Cheese’s Pizza in January 1997 by Richard Concepcion (1957-2017).

[@Jordanninja09]

I’d just like to say thank you for filming all those stages (especially the Canadian ones). All those videos have become iconic and I wish you a happy retirement.

I wish they didint get rid of the 2 stage

[@Big_Chuck_Official]

Same, they probably could’ve kept it and just moved the gameroom to where the balcony was but stores back then were looking forward to getting the new Studio C show (plus only one bot with limited movements and non working curtains was much easier to maintain).
