I still don’t understand why people say this stage is overrated. I mean sure Huntsville and Wilmington had great shows, but come on. The condition and quality of this stage blows the other remaining ones out of the water

[@AkamexAris1023]

Only one that came close was Huntsville, everyone else is a hater #savepineville3stage #savepineville

[@jasburger]

Everyone thinks this location is the second coming of Christ (it's not) and the stage itself is artificial

[@TheMemeMaster2011]

⁠I agree

[@warrenkec374]

@@jasburger "artificial" lmao their robots, of Couse they're not natural, cec fans find any reason to hate Pineville 😭

[@pinkvanitykiller]

The stage isn’t authentic enough for me. I do love that they have a munch jr. recreation, and its good quality. But the store itself isn’t retro. I do hope they keep this stage. But its not the best CEC 3 stage ever. That title would have to go to mobile, al. Specifically during the 90s when Brian Hagan was working on that show.

[@TripleB780]

I hope Pineville gets saved. Even CEC Entertainment confirmed this according to Sets Streets & Eats that Pineville is on the table of being possibly saved. We’ll see what happens in the near future. #SavePineville3Stage

Now that it’s got saved it would be nice for Helen to wear the green cheerleading outfit with pompoms temporarily as a tribute to Huntsville ❤

[@bigernie7802]

Awesome video! Pineville is such an iconic location, it would be a shame for it to be remodelled , especially for us fans. They really should make it a retro location to live on the legacy of the Rock a Fire Creative Engineering bots and of the classic era of CEC. Thank you for constantly giving us updates on these CEC locations!

[@TheGemmyKidYT]

Love this store so much! In Florida, we recently just lost Tallahassee and only have Naples left with a studio c 32m bot on the circles of light stage. If anyone hasn’t been to pineville, it is a must go!

[@CristobalJesusArenas]

I feel so excited for Pineville being saved

[@ArcadeProductions]

Great Video and Im so beyond happy to see a three stage preserved! Fun fact, I produced that song at 21:14!

[@cgienthusiast]

Wow this location looks amazing. It looks like pasquallys mask was darkened a little bit to more resemble the original latex mask. Love it! #savepinevillecec

[@RageElectrix]

It’s a shame you didn’t get to see Laurel, MD while it was still around. Last blue latex pizzacam. Got removed in summer of 2022 but it was perfectly working up there with Pineville

Who would of known this would of been 1 of the last Remaining 3 stages..I Remeber like 8 years ago no one gave this store the praise it’s getting now (yes ik big cheese came here a lot but the overall fandom really didn’t give this store the time of day) , back then its was Huntsville and Wesleyan crazy how the times changed

I didn't realize this when visiting last Sunday, a friend and I were in and out, but props to the tec for repairing Helen's ear levers and Jasper's body lean.

im glad pineville got saved Edit now I will be confirmed to be able to see a three stage for the first time and with Northridge also being a retro store I will also get to see a cyber stage

[@TheMemeMaster2011]

Me personally I want billing’s to be saved, it has a nicer cozy looking feel to the store and I think the animatronics will help with that, so instead of me saying save pineville, I say, #savebillings

[@nicholaskania9106]

Billings is literally in no mans land. It’s a cool stage but is far from the vast majority of people. And it’s on the same side of the country as Northridge.

[@ManAndDogFan777]

@@nicholaskania9106yeah. Billings is kinda in the middle of now where

[@CyberstarChuck]

I think we should save Billings to. It might be in the middle of nowhere but on your way to that store you see breath taking sceneries which are worth seeing to. And the Billings stage also does have a more retro feeling while pineville feels more modern. I know some of the fandom will always be in a constant battle on if we should save pineville or Billings, but from my opinion we should save Billings.

[@nicholaskania9106]

@@CyberstarChuck Why can’t both be saved?

Oh, if you didn't have them slice the cheesy bread, you could have turned it into a totally awsome meatball sub! lol Glad you were able to capture this store's last day of animatronics. Someone should buy up a set of them and create a CEC museum, that's not owned by corporate or anything. Just to keep it a time capsule of yesteryear.

[@jukingeo]

Wow! This looks like an old Creative Engineering show (Rock a-fire Explosion) that was concept unified! Good indication that this was once a Show Biz location.

[@SetsStreetsEats]

Yep, thats exactly what this is :)

@@SetsStreetsEats I was worried that all of the Creative Engineering Concept Unification CEC shows would be gone by now with the 2.0 conversions. I am glad to hear that this one will be saved. I hear one original single stage show, near me, in Hicksville, NY is also going to be saved.
