The History of Chuck E. Cheese in Northridge, California

Today, I go over a location which has been gaining attention recently for keeping their 2 stage after receiving 2.0, Northridge, California. There's other stuff to talk about for this location as well though, so watch the video to see all of that.

Great that they kept the stage and reenabled the curtains but I hate how every other pre-2.0 thing was butchered besides the shelves. I really hope Pineville gets this treatment but chances are it won’t :(

[@THAIIIGUY]

I feel like it might happen if we use try to get cec corporates attention and do what they did with northrodge

[@Cookieplayz4335]

I really hope so too bud

[@robertweitz6376]

We have saved more stagee including pinville:D

[@Idiotic_B_Purcell]

*welp*

[@NoodleNuggz]

Really love how this location is keeping the stage and it was really cool to see curtains again . Also they played 3 classic songs together we’ve got it , Chuck es place and every bit every girl

[@DaMeaun]

every boy every girl 2017 😊isn’t classic it was rewritten

[@caydencrawford18]

Hi, can you do a history video on CEC in San Jose, California in the future? San Jose had three PTT locations operating in the area at one point, with the first one opening in 1977, being the 1st ever location to open, a 2nd one opening in 1978, being the second ever location to open, and a third one opening in 1981, which is now the LARGEST Chuck E. Cheese in the United States. San Jose has three interesting CEC locations, but only one is still around today, and I would like to see them as an history video from you.

[@sonicsonic2022]

I requested that

[@ItzaRob]

I’m not taking anymore history video requests right now.

[@WhoDidWhat17]

there was also one on 975 S De Anza Blvd (near the city limits with Cupertino), so technically there were actually 4 (San Jose / Cupertino PTT closed in May 1983)

[@Cinnamatime]

I'm excited for the vid on West Des Moines, since it was my childhood location that I went to all the time as a kid. I haven't really seen any photos or videos of how it looked in the 80s to 90s that much since I wasn't even born around that time though.

[@Blaze_1221]

I’m glad that cec Corporate somewhat acknowledges people wanting to keep them, he’ll them making a NEW SHOW in 2023 is insane really

[@duccface1104]

Northridge has a lot of history to it and now that they are keeping the animatronics idk what’s gonna happen next

[@SlushysSecret]

I guess install the new Trampolines

[@WhoDidWhat17]

@@SlushysSecret Northridge is too small for the Trampoline Zone

[@noobethgamingtonthethird]

its not cec's fault for the curtains/animatronics being in bad conditoon, you have to remember these curtains have been disabled for over a decade and they didn't have a tech during the remodel/reopening, an employee had to velcro chuck's head back together

[@ItzaRob]

What sign shows that they care? Just because they kept a stage doesn't mean they care. If they actually cared, they would've never destroyed the hundreds of animatronics they already have destroyed. Also, what makes you think they're going to get a tech now? If they really wanted the animatronics to be in better condition, they had time to get a tech to do it. While I am glad they kept this stage, the issue is that this wasn't the main things fans wanted to stay, it was the 90's decor that made this location so special and now almost all of it is gone now.

[@noobethgamingtonthethird]

@@ItzaRob i never said that they cared, northridge was only done because the remodel was getting tons of backlash from everyone, the 90s decor was destroyed/sent to spt due to miscommunication between cec & parkway

[@rossboy14_]

I feel like this is one of the coolest Chuck E. Cheese

[@cecvegas7]

Amazing video! I liked the way u described the history, new subscriber!

[@ticketmaster1000]

I’m glad I got to cover a lot of the remodel progress of this store. It was pretty cool. Just wish they still had the artwork

[@cgienthusiast]

It's funny how they raised his ears higher and it makes him look like a rabbit lol. Boise Idahos 3 stage chuck had high ears as well. Great video

[@THAIIIGUY]

I remember seeing a comment saying a jasper mech was under the stage meaning the bots could have been saved

[@ItzaRob]

It could also be bots from any other California location that’s gotten rid of their cyberamic bots, so we don’t really know for sure honestly.

[@TheAlchemistSB]

Hmm can't wait for that 3 Stage!

[@crashbandicootspyrohinson05]

Well pinevilles now gonna be the next retro store as well

[@TheAlchemistSB]

Yoo i can't wait!

[@byronthevideomaker]

As someone who lives near that chuck e cheese, i see this as a massive win

[@ceccrystalake]

HA PINEVILLE SPRINGFIELD AND OTHERS ARE KEEPING IT HAHAHA FUCK CALIFORNIA

[@Mega3362_]

This is a certified hood classic

[@TheAlchemistSB]

Man it's a good thing they can't be animatronic because they listen to the fans God I wish I can go there but first it's very far away where I am I'm in the United States California and tickets are expensive as hell as well

[@brendagomez658]

Thanks for doing a history of my local Chuck e cheese

[@ItzaRob]

You're welcome.

I had my 9th birthday here, in 1992!!!!

[@SofiaPreCure]

I never been to that Chuck E Cheese Location but it's interesting!

[@kylekeller3398]

I want to go visit this Chuck E. Cheese!

[@brandon-pk4my]

I don’t know, but if the Kooser location never closed I think they would’ve made the Kooser location the retro store I mean it makes sense because it was the second Chuck E. Cheese location and I kinda lived near the kooser location before it closed

[@puzh._.top66]

2:25 JUSTISS!!! (also from what i remember the posters were accidentally destroyed by parkway, they were supposed to be hung back up)
