Chuck E. Cheese's Huntington Beach, CA Store Tour

This is a store tour of the very historic Huntington Beach, CA location. This store is located on 15511 Edwards Street and is very notable for many things. Currently, this is the oldest operating location in the company, opening up on 10/6/1979, also being the only location still open from the 70's. They were the first location to open up in Southern California and 5th overall in the company.
When they first opened up as a Pizza Time Theatre, they had a portrait show with cyberamic figures. In the cabaret lounge, they had the very rare cabaret Helen Henny, the first location to feature her. Later on they converted to a C-Stage, skipping the Balcony Stage all-together, and after that they received a 2-Stage, which they still have although the bots are in somewhat of disrepair. The bots that are on stage are the same ones featured on the Portrait Show nearly 42 years ago. Safe to say these are the oldest cyberamics still in store, possibly the oldest surviving ones in the world.
In terms of store design, they have phase 4, but kept a few phase 3 items per usual for most locations. They have a unique layout with a very distinct early-PTT feel. I chose some PTT songs from the 70's for the background music to go along with the video, including a song performed by the cabaret Helen. Overall this is a really cool store with a interesting history and it's definitely worth visiting if you're in the Orange County area.

Fun fact: this was the 5th Chuck e Cheese and is the last existing Chuck E Cheese that was made in the 70s!

[@CoolioTheSecond]

For a correction the 1st location was in San Jose ca opened may 17 1977. And was the first ever Cec location to open.

@@CoolioTheSecond what

[@purplepurplaa]

i think some of the repliers are confused: yes, there is a san jose location right now, and the first location was in san jose but those are two different locations. the location existing right now is NOT the first location

NICE

[@ShowbizPizzaTime2012]

What CEC should do instead of closing this location is they should get 2.0 and keep the 2-stage since this is a special store for being the oldest of the franchise.

[@ILikeParties-mq3bl]

when does huntington beach get 2.0

Go back in time and record every 1995 show at every location ever to exist. If no current location is open yet at the time, make changes to the space-time continuum.

[@vannale3743]

No

[@kidwhoragesoften]

Nope, went about 2 weeks ago I think and it had nothing 2.0 YET

[@UrSammich]

Nope. This is the one I went to most often as a kid as I lived locally and it seems to still be holding up. The only other location I went locally was La Mirada which at the time still had its older stage. I don't think I ever went to the Costa Mesa location, but I knew where it was and passed by it multiple times. It was newer back in the 90's since that entire shopping area was newer at the time. I'm just surprised this one is hanging on and hope it stays. Although I still miss the original play place and ball pit. Even though it usually smelled. XD

[@Nickjrecreations]

I think the music is a little too ptt although it was ptt they should do bfdi music

[@WhoDidWhat17]

That's the point. This is the oldest operating CEC / Former PTT still in existence, so it's fitting that there's music from the era, even if it hasn't looked the part in decades.
