I Visit The King at Jungle Jims Grocery In Cincinnati Ohio! And a Beta Stage at CEC

[@princesskristan]

DISCOVERY ZONE! That was my childhood along with Club Disney, and I remember those places were where my mom would take my siblings if we behaved. Smashed my fingers so many times on the rolly slides, but seeing that made me smile. And I wanna visit Jungle Jim's one day

[@CalypsoHusky]

Please tell me you didn't miss the other CEC animatronic that they have in Jungle Jim's! They have an original torso-only Pasqually that is over the Mexican section of the international market. It's been refurbished to look more like a Latino man though.

[@MrPixieanimatronics]

It was just recently added back so it wouldn't have been there then

[@genericlc]

That cec location used to have a rocker stage until it was replaced by the beta/cappa stage

[@maxkazlo3559]

Jungle Jim's had a fazts Billy Bob and Chuck-E-Cheese retrofit in the late 90s called the Hirobl TrIo

[@Footballer007-lz8pg]

I think it's extremely cool they had the original roof still inside the expanded building. Epic seeing the King in such great shape!! Too bad he wasn't performing that day

[@NerdyPastime]

We were there just last month! Jungle Jim’s is awesome! We always stop there when we go up. That place is so big i didn’t know about the toy section until this video!! Lol Great video as always!!

[@SetsStreetsEats]

Yeah they had some great toys in there too, I really think I might go back and get the TIE fighter and falcon desk lamps, so awesome!

[@NerdyPastime]

@@SetsStreetsEats yeah those looked awesome! Good price too! Next we go back I might have to grab the TIE for sure!

[@tamacat2001]

Yeah, I wasn't aware of the toy section in the back either. Such a cool store!

[@Florpus]

I always wanted to go to these places! You're living the dream my man

[@SetsStreetsEats]

Don't think I don't know it!

[@cristoferchanimak]

So happy to see you visiting the King :). Always a big fan of yours!

[@Songbyrdbeauty97]

Hey this is home town!! Went shopping here with my aunt as a kid, spent many nights going here with friends to find random stuff to kill the boredom and still go on a whim with my husband to this day. The best part is the Sherwood Forrest at the back of the store and the hot sauce Big Bertha fire truck!

[@homestar92]

You caught the King animatronic at a good time. Within the last couple years, it got refurbished. Prior to that his mouth barely moved and he was kind of hunched over permanently. Sadly, you also missed a few - they used to have a pretty well-maintained Warblettes. And WAY back when, they had a Dolli Dimples (I am 31 and I have the faintest of memories of a red-haired hippo, which could only have been Dolli). Given the fact that I remember this but it's extremely foggy, I'd put that somewhere around the mid to late 90s. I don't know whether it's been converted to the new design without animatronics, but last time I was there, the Colerain OH Chuck E Cheese two exits west on I-275 still had a three stage.

[@brookelewis1184]

I don't know if you know this but there is someone named Jared Sanchez and he has a KZbin channel called The King Robot and he has 4 King animatronics that he saved and he does shows with them and he did everything by himself. I think you could possibly get in touch with him and do a type of interview if you want. He seems like the kind of guy who would let you do something like that. Keep up the amazing content.

[@SetsStreetsEats]

Yeah I like Jared's videos. His stuff is pretty cool. 😁

[@asianpussykat33]

Jared is the king master. The kings at the Volo car museum use his voice. He probably assisted in fixing them up.

[@bartzgamingtvz4308]

Wow....theres a massive funko section gotta go there..not just funko i wanted to see the animatronics too and btw nice video..keep up the work :)

[@SetsStreetsEats]

Thanks, will do!

[@cristoferchanimak]

There was a King performing in the North Chuck E Cheese (had a rocker and then a road stage, no longer open) in Calgary. There were two other Chuck E. Cheese’s in Calgary. There was a South One (that used to be Bullwinkle’s, had a road stage) but it’s gone, and there is another north “Sunridge” one there still open! I think that one is either 2.0 or one of the studio c ones

[@matthewmoshe3811]

Yes dz loved going here in the 90s

[@CEC.77]

There used to be a CEC around me, which did indeed have one of the studio C beta’s. Sadly it closed in 2020, a long time since it’s opening in 2011. Also you missed something in Jungle Jim’s, there is a balcony stage Pasqually on top of one of the isles

[@pgj1997]

0:24 That looks so much like the Double Dare logo. Surprised Paramount hasn't gone after them.

[@theofficialanth]

In my hometown awesome!

[@tysonadventures2322]

that funny

[@under_yt6425]

Gawd dang pedro/pasqually retrofit and warblettes/junglejim animals i think but they’re somewhere in there unless they got taken they also had part of the rockafire explosion sign it’s probably gone

[@SetsStreetsEats]

I knew about the Warblettes being there but they had been takin down by the time I arrived :(

[@under_yt6425]

[@MrPixieanimatronics]

They been down at least since last summer bc I went last July and they were removed

[@wildlifegameplay8434]

I love this man

[@AwesomeDrawer2017]

The Cincinnati cec has wood paneling that’s been there since the opening near the back and front

[@disneydanny2]

WAit, how is there *STILL* a Discovery Zone?, Chuck E. Cheese acquired them in 1999 (what a *GREAT* year *THAT* was to be a stockholder)

[@duck-gamingyt_108]

I went to the jungle Jim's in Eastgate it's a probably about an half an hour drive, Eastgate mall is also getting changed into something else :( also I've been to that same CEC before

[@TiltedTripodMedia]

Next time you're in town visit the Eastgate jungle Jims. its the newer one

[@tysonadventures2322]

ooo yummy

[@tylerbowendesigns4089]

The last thing I remember at discovery zone was the men in black lasertag ride then yeah literally right after that discovery zone became non existent.

[@SetsStreetsEats]

Yep it sure did, I'm pretty sure the MIB laser tag about put them out of business lol

[@MrPixieanimatronics]

That sign but the king must be outdated bc when I went last year instead of being on a timer there was a sensor so if someone walked by him.he would star dining something must of been wrong with that

[@SetsStreetsEats]

Yeah I tried everything to get him to work and then finally an employee came by and said he had been broken for a while

[@MrPixieanimatronics]

Man I missed spelled half the words

[@rock_afire_boi6211]

Are you going to the billy bobs wonderland convention the 17th?

[@SetsStreetsEats]

Sadly no. I'm really bummed about it but I'll be working in Mississippi next weekend so I'll have to miss it :-(

[@SetsStreetsEats]

I was definitely bummed I kept checking back the whole time I was there which was over 2 hours and he never did work 😕

[@anemicat]

The only reason I would ever consider leaving the state is too see stuff like this However, I'm not too big on leaving California because as a Trans man, I don't have enough rights everywhere else If that changes I'm totally going and checking this place out

[@girlscanbedrummers5804]

I'm sorry 😢
