Billings, MT Chuck E. Cheese's Store Tour

Opening shots are videos I recorded at Glacier National Park, Montana's most well kept national treasure. Another well kept treasure in Montana is this fantastic franchise 3-Stage location. Many old games are featured, such as the classic 1990 Chuck E's Lil Hoops! Seen also are great classic 2000's games such as Frantic Fred and Buzzy Bee, paired with new favorites such as Operation and Harpoon Lagoon. Truly a store of all generations. Quite the gem!

This looks like such a beautiful location, the small ceiling just screams: “Hey, come down! we’re a pretty calm CEC here, enjoy our 3 stage and variety of games and rides!” Beautiful location. ❤️

Here's a fact about Billings, Montana's location: This specific location was known for the show being in poor condition as meanwhile in West Virginia, sporting the final public Rock-Afire Explosion 3-stage in existence with a restoration currently happening, talk about a tough life for these animatronic characters deteriorating overtime, huh?

This location looks very interesting

[@mrk_builder551]

I never thought I'd see a Chuck E Cheese still using tokens as the main source to play games. So nostalgic 😭 CEC is really starting to lose it's magic. I think the final straw is 2.0 for me, but before that, what really did it was the removal of the Skytubes. Now while those things were disgusting, without them, it just makes the gameroom look empty. Especially when it happens to a location that you've been going to all your life. You can just tell that something is missing... Really wish corporate didn't have to ruin everything. (Sorry for the long rant lol)

[@someguest426]

They dont....

[@chucke.cheesesmichiganprod1254]

You're right, removing the SkyTubes and the original main source to play games in the arcade is one thing, two things actually, but replacing animatronic stages with a dance floor instead of making it an addition for more attention to the live walkaround character is just going too far, the animatronic stages are the main attraction upon first stepping foot into the entertainment and restaurant chain and while enjoying some pizza fresh from the oven, however, it is sad that two 3-stage locations converted their 3-stages into Studio C Betas whilst retaining their 3-stage valences, making the side stages unused with the curtains left closed with just single 16M animatronics with the Studio C Beta props added to center stage, keeping that part of the stage used after their air compressors broke and the new air compressors they bought weren't strong enough to power the whole show with just Chuck moving. Tough life for 'em, don't you think?

[@sonicfazbearsreallyoldstuf8404]

im guessing this will be one of the last locations to still have bots after 2.0 is all done due to the fact that this is a franchise, and they do what they want. apparently they were offered 2.0 but they declined, meaning they still care about the animatronics. seems like one of the most chill cec locations ever

[@RyeRye29]

Yep! There managers and boss are actually the ones who take care of the show!

[@SlushysSecret]

Bummer it was sold to corporate now it will get 2.0

[@aubreeofarc]

Unfortunately, since it is the corporate-owned location as of right now, it will most likely get 2.0 by this year or next year. The last one will most likely be Altoona, PA. Altoona is probably franchised owned, and it has many records for its longevity, so there is a good chance this may be the last one. And u know what's crazy? This is my local!!!
