A lot of people don't realize how hard it is to keep stuff like this maintained as well, I've been in the community long enough to know that finding a bot let alone is hard enough, I've heard stories and I'm seeing the ways things have been collected over the years and put in smitty's, and I can say that this is not only an amazing restoration effort but the hard work of a dedicated fan, you won't find any coolness or awesomeness in any CEC location today nearly as much as it is here, I hope this place stays around for such a long time, definitely a landmark for the fandom, but not only that, I think even people who aren't in the CEC and rock-afire fanfom will still find this as a nostalgic walkthrough.

@@SmittysSuperService I can totally appreciate all your work!

When I was a bit younger, I didn't even know what an animatronic was until Fnaf came around. Hell, I don't even live in America, so it was a while before I found out about Chuck E. Cheese and Showbiz Pizza Place, and we don't have any fancy animatronic restaurants in my country either. But honestly, I really respect the people who build and maintain these, it's so awesome to see! Though some still look a bit creepy, even without the Fnaf influence.

I’m 44 and I had a chance to see the Rockafire Explosion at Showbiz Pizza when I was a kid. I have a very vivid memory of sneaking up to the curtain of the stage with a friend and peaking behind the curtain. All I saw was the gorilla figure with his gold jacket on sitting there kind of slumped forward. Then a we heard a sound like an air compressor or something and the gorilla moved ever so slightly. It kind of spooked us but excited us at the same time. We ran back to our seats, lol. This was in northeast Texas. It was awesome and it’s a memory I will treasure my whole life.

The Banter between Rolfe, Earl and Billy Bob was probably the most deliriously wonderful experience I’ve witnessed from this show.

The animatronics used to scare the bejesus out of me when I was a kid. I remember those holes under the stage. They were like a tube maze under there. I remember when you were under there you could hear the animatronics moving and it was so load. Made them even more scary lol.

If you lived close to one of these then you knew what a blessing they were on a HOT Saturday afternoon in South Carolina where you go in and grab a pizza and a pitcher of beer. Give the kids some tokens and they take off until they needed more. A couple of hours there then go back to the pool around dusk for an hour and then they would sleep all night without a peep! Chuck-E-Cheese was a wonderful place.

I'm too young to have experienced these characters when they were in their prime, but I'm sure I'd have loved them. Even as a modern teen I'm able to love and appreciate how charming these old models are and desperately wish they weren't being phased out of places like CEC :(

You have no idea! What set it apart during its prime was the lighting and dark show rooms. It made the show look “alive” if maintained properly. I spent lots of birthdays there as a kid in the 90s Good times..

Thank you for sharing, how did he acquire all this stuff?! He has SO MUCH memorabilia and I couldn't believe all those animatronics work just like the old days, unbelievable and so awesome.

Well after 15 years now they have all come from an assortment of places. The Rockafire I bought directly from the Creator Aaron Fechter in Orlando. The King and Beagles came from Oklahoma. Most of the Chuck E Cheese group came from California. A few other assorted pieces from Texas. So I've been all over the country just about to get these guys all assembled and in one building. Most of the memorabilia are ebay finds.... with a few flea markets mixed in..
