I Return To The CEC In Citrus Heights CA To See Their 1 Stage

[@nicholaskania9106]

Yeah, apparently this was a ShowBiz Pizza Place as you said. However, as other people have mentioned, it never got concept unification. In the late 80’s, they simply gutted the Rockafire 3-stage and replaced it with a Rocker Stage. This was likely some sort of test store when ShowBiz Pizza Time Inc was trying to unify the 2 brands. You can kind of notice evidence that there was once a Rockafire Explosion stage given that both walls at the side of the stage are slanted like on Rolfe and Billy Bobs stage.

[@WhoDidWhat17]

yeah, during the period of time when Showbiz Pizza and Chuck E. Cheese's existed under one company (Showbiz Pizza Time), a few stores were opened as Showbiz Pizza but with Rocker Stages instead of Rock-Afire Explosions, and a few PTTs received Rocker Stages, as well as the Milwaukee (Good Hope), Wisconsin and Citrus Heights, California Showbiz Pizza Place's, which had RAE's. Milwaukee (Good Hope) received a 1-Stage in 1994 and closed in 1995, and Citrus Heights received a Road Stage in 1991-1992.

[@Pizzacam3]

O-O-O Ozemmm-pic! You knoooow!!!! 😂😂😂

[@Nobiz_CEC]

Actually they never got concept unification but instead they installed the rocker stage and then road stage and then got turned into a 1 stage unfortunately, the whereabouts of the Rockfire explosion are unknown I like to believe it was sent to Fullerton CA but that’s the show history

[@AnonymousPersonWithNoChannel]

Wow Chris! Another one of my locals! Thanks :)

[@MagicJowls2823]

Wow this chuck e cheese still doesnt have the remodel? god i can see the old sign still there the animatronics are looking well cared by the cosmetics!❤ but helens cosmetic in the back is kinda not cared very well... also if you pin me your gonna my life amazing by your uploads 😊

[@disneydanny2]

it does now. iirc, both it and Sacramento got remodeled at the same time.

[@FurbyRocker]

2:04 Hey just thought I'd let ya know, Canada doesn't have any 1-Stages! The only remaining Cyberamic bands we have left is a Road Stage & 2-Stage setup!

[@WhoDidWhat17]

There was ONE though, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, although they closed way way back in 2001.

[@MickeyBoyGaming]

I love chuck e cheese, this location brings back old memorys, also todays my birthday 🥳

[@digitalmovies5863]

Wow I haven't there in years I use to live in the apartments right behind that place and me and my cousins use to walk there, I live in San Francisco now but still i never even realized how retro it was its been over a decade

[@Coconuttz]

I’ve been there in December and November it does not look that beat up it works really well

[@sematary666-f9i]

Nice video! I toured this property a week ago. I spoke to an employee and she said the animatronics are going to Texas. Not sure if thats the truth, but thats what ive been told!

[@jasburger]

If that's true, they're likely going to corporate

[@WhoDidWhat17]

@@jasburger and corporate most likely means the SPT warehouse in Kansas, since that's where they actually send animatronics (the corporate office obviously would have no space)

[@cec_oregon]

@@WhoDidWhat17 what if they start programming cybers with their own signals instead of sharing them with cei stages?

[@WhoDidWhat17]

@@cec_oregon they would probably need an actual set of Cyberamics to visually see what they are programming like they do for 3-Stage and Studio C

[@cec_oregon]

@@WhoDidWhat17 thats what i mean, use these bots to program cybers

[@victorunboxestheworld]

They were (suppose) to get 2.0 this summer but it got pushed back which is a great thing the robots are staying a little longer! but sadly Modesto got that 2.0 slice also i was there this week for bootacular and they were moving and singing perfectly when wa this recorded?

[@SetsStreetsEats]

Late September, that's good to hear!

[@chuckster7248]

Wow, I really love the store you went to. I haven’t heard of that one yet. I’m surprised I spotted in your video. They still had the kids carpet. 😮

[@wiseman5519]

Hey Chris there was an animatronic back then in Chucky's theater which was a hippo it's was seen in a video talking about the pizza time theater

[@jasburger]

Her name is Dolli Dimples and she was meant more for the adults

[@jasburger]

Here's some locations I've seen performing the Halloween show since you're struggling to find locations to visit Pico Rivera, CA (heard they relaxed the filming policy) Huntington Beach, CA (oldest location) Middletown, NJ Tinley Park, IL (they even decorated) Charlotte, NC (Pineville) Tallahassee, FL (it's still there) There's probably more but you get the idea

[@jasburger]

@@3105ace I heard Pico Rivera had a change in management between when Chris tried to film to show 2 2023. Pico Rivera might've only had a problem with Chris due to his age (like some other CA locations). I don't know about Norwalk but someone was able to film right by the stage during the summer of this year.

[@costcomembershipcard]

Citrus still does perform. Not sure why they were aired down here, but as of October, the stage works.

[@jasburger]

@@costcomembershipcard I'm guessing maintenance or the tech wasn't there

[@costcomembershipcard]

@@3105ace Dublin does have Navori now. We've had it since September.

[@jasburger]

​@@costcomembershipcard Did you guys get in trouble for installing it late?

[@Thekniceleys]

I’m exited

[@miket7330]

Very interesting and well detailed!❤

[@ryanhart4671]

Love this location!

[@LiamsAnimatronicExplorations]

Man that's a shame they are turning the animatronics off. I've never seen the animatronics in person and I was considering driving the 3 hours to my closest MMBB which is Altoona but now I won't bother.

[@CECbizpizza7767]

Same

[@thatspatula321]

I live at one of the 1 stages 😮

[@bigredo346]

Hey Chris one question you should ask while your at a Chuck E. Cheese, how come when they stop programming studio C they didn’t use old tapes, but for existing stages they can use old tapes

[@AnonymousPersonWithNoChannel]

I went there only once when they had the road stage back in early 2015.

[@CoolguyStudios1977]

How many road stages are left and how many 2 stages are left?

[@jasburger]

11 2-stages and 6 road stages as of October

[@AnonymousPersonWithNoChannel]

I go there ALOT and I have never seen them like that. I probably go there like very weekend

[@ChuckMaythem]

I don’t know if you noticed but you spelled their wrong in the title

[@sillyolryan]

The outlook only slowly grows sadder for the bots.

[@caydencrawford18]

hey Chris, you spelled "their" incorrectly as "thier" in the title. You also did this in Wednesday's Amarillo, Texas 1-Stage video title.

[@angelinauy00]

That store doesn't deserve Helen, Send her home with me, (send them all, the wink too) I'll fix her dress and care for them! (Wishful dreaming)

[@XxRayoMC95xX]

Wait so are they also destroying the animatronics?

[@Thekniceleys]

We live in Amelia so it would take long to get there

[@jr5620]

Why is it that Chuck’s eyes look so tiny at this location unlike others? Is that manufacturer related?

[@jasburger]

Some road stage chucks have tiny eyeholes for some reason

[@jr5620]

@@jasburger Thanks!

[@rooney.ae_]

Cool video,never went to this location, I really want to go to this location, if you had the chance you could have gone to lishelle pl Virginia, but they got 2.0 It used to be a former ShowBiz, but got a 2 stage, Chuck had the cool Chuck outfit, munch and Jasper and Pasqually has a ptt mask, genuinely my childhood place but sadly it’s a 2.0:( Also im huge fan of ur vids!

[@hunterleach5710]

2.0 was a bad idea in the first place. I hope CEC entertainment get karma for destroying their history by ripping out 40 year old animatronics . I should have been excited when they filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy

[@bluegold1026]

People giving you the side eye? It feels like they're being told to trust no one anymore.
