The History of Showbiz Pizza & Chuck E. Cheese in Visalia, California

[@radarvisi0n]

i was just here at Visalia chuck e cheese, drove a long time to get there, and i spoke to the manager who told me they were going to be removed permanently and sent back to corporate in 2 weeks from then. (1 week now...) im so sad to see this show leave forever, im so glad i got to finally see them and say goodbye and get cool photos.

[@ItzaRob]

Bro what? That stage is only good for parts at this point since no one is gonna fix it...if it actually does get removed then that's gonna be interesting since there hasn't been a 3 stage removal since July of last year.

[@applesomething]

The manager said the air compressor did break and they decided not to fix it because they’re removing the characters and it wouldn’t be worth it to fix.

[@radarvisi0n]

@ItzaRob Right :/ of course he isn't allowed to tell me what they're gonna do with these guys, but since chuck e cheese brand is so specific about their characters I'm assuming they're just going to be destroyed. I even asked if a private collector had bought them, or was allowed to, and manager said no due to this.

[@ItzaRob]

@@applesomething I don't blame them, they're in terrible shape.

[@raymondramos2883]

The stage has sadly been permanently, removed from what I’ve heard

[@Wayfinder_Triko]

Thanks so much for adding me into the vid! Appreciate that! :D Nice to see one of my childhood locals put here

[@marvel_dc_basedyt69420]

This is the first time I've seen someone post about my city online, huge W and great video for that, it seems like we never get any love online

[@empty-chair]

I drive by this place every single day when I’m going to work and when I’m headed to class (COS). I never knew this was one of very few three stage locations left. It’s so cool to see and learn about something I never paid any mind to.

[@marvel_dc_basedyt69420]

Yoooo you go to COS? I might end up running into you if I end up enrolling there

[@tvirus9369]

Its weird to see my town in my recommended videos

[@Frozendragon1990]

R.I.P Visalia 3 Stage 1983-2024

[@CyberstarChuck]

Awesome history video about Visalia! I would like to confirm I think the 1999 footage is somewhere else, but that is pretty much what Visalia looked like around that time! So no need to be worrying about it! Awesome video overall!

[@Happycheckers]

LOVE WATCHING YOUR VIDS WHEN I DRAW KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

[@HatlessJungle]

The CA location is two hours away from me and some of my friends are planing to go up soon before the remodel next year

[@Roserosey04]

Used to go here in Visalia when I was a kid, didn’t know there was such history behind it

[@ticketmaster1000]

So glad I went here literally only about a year or so before the remodel.

[@lkgaming6326]

The stream was amazing even tho I started watching/appeared half way through the video lol

[@ItzaRob]

It's ok, you can always watch through what you missed afterwards.

[@Sugerman.]

I live in Exeter and i go to the Visalia location

[@cesar5347]

I managed to go 3 days before they got rid of the three stage. Even though it wasn't in good condition I'm glad I got to see it before it got 2.0

[@William_Afton_AFTONROBOTICS]

me reading the comments is making me think the pain you are experiencing of all the requests! maybe aswell do every CEC Location lol 🗣. anyway, nice video. I always admired this location cuz of the unique rooftop/terrace up front. and also the bakersfield california location. (im not asking for it im just curious) are you gonna do a bakersfield california location video? (if not dont do it im just curious)

[@ItzaRob]

No, I mentioned it because the article mentioned that fact but I haven't gotten a request for it yet.

[@Mewingtree]

Why do I feel like if one of the 3 stages get the Northridge treatment it's gonna be this location because CEC does not care about us (Btw my local chuck e cheese is pine villes

[@jessicalytton4520]

Imagine if they did that just because it was in California.. the whole fandom would've gone up in flames lol

[@Petergriffenguy444]

In the 9:22 part show my old stage that was saved by corporate

[@ItzaRob]

Interesting, I didn't know that.

[@RamyReda2125]

Visalia is one of the last locations to still use Birthday Star 1992

[@FrappeInsider]

Would it be possible to do a history of Showbiz Pizza & Chuck E Cheese in South Florida? (or florida in general)

[@ItzaRob]

I wouldn't do a history of every location in such a large area as that would be quite too long. Can you maybe give a more specific area to work with?

[@FrappeInsider]

@@ItzaRob does South Florida help? If not, maybe Hialeah store. That one’s quite old. If not, maybe Miami? (West palm to kendall store)

[@ItzaRob]

@@FrappeInsider You just said South Florida, but Hialeah works if you'd rather me do that over Miami.

[@Vvvv86051]

For Hialeah, I could try my best to help provide Correct info. Like some info from the 90s (when my parents were kids) and 2010s when i went and even today. Idk about the 00s I’ll keep you posted

[@Vvvv86051]

@@ItzaRobIG You can do oldest to newest, Hialeah first (Opened April 2nd 1991) then Miami (Aventura opened May 1993, South Dade opened 1999-2000, Kendall opened 1999-2000)

[@taylorm7777]

I have video footage of this location from the 90s, I wish I could have sent it to you

[@simonsays365]

me and wollfy are besties!!!

[@MrBigMac9647]

I think visalia's 3 stage was removed since it isn't listed as one of the last remaining 3 stages on the wiki, and now says there's only 4 left

[@ItzaRob]

I hope you don't mean showbiz pizza wiki or the chuck e cheese wiki, because those aren't accurate sources of info whatsoever. I also await proof of its removal before believing anything. Also this was uploaded four months ago.

[@MrBigMac9647]

@ItzaRob ok then Seems to be inaccurate since if it were true i would hear way more about it

[@MrBigMac9647]

@@ItzaRob yep, visalia's 3 stage is gone now

[@ItzaRob]

@@MrBigMac9647 Correct, now that proof is out we can officially say it is gone.

[@karlgt3656]

does any one know what where the dates of these chuck e cheese locations open Altoon pennsylvania Billings montana Pineville north carolina Tallhasse florida Visalia california

[@chrob5728]

When will you do wilmington NC

[@ItzaRob]

It'll be awhile. I do requests based on who asks first, then second, etc., so it ends up taking awhile to get to requests that were asked later.

[@chrob5728]

Ok thank you

[@EddHaley]

THEY GOT RID OF THE ANIMATRONICS 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@CharminHernandez-yp1wb]

Don't lie to me 😭 if this is true am done with everything

[@thatonebyufan]

nice video! not trying to bug you or anything but, can you remember to give me credit in your billings video because of my request?

[@ItzaRob]

I always give credit to the requester of a location in the video, so I will.

[@Footballer007-lz8pg]

#savepineville3stage #savepineville I miss Visalia even if the band wasn't in the best of condition

[@gwenmloveskpopandmore]

How many 3 stages are left now?

[@ItzaRob]

Still the same amount, for some reason they haven't removed a 3 stage since July which is kind of insane.

[@gwenmloveskpopandmore]

@@ItzaRob yeah but also a good thing ig

[@sonicsonic2022]

visalia's gone now

[@ItzaRob]

And this video was uploaded four months ago before it was removed.

[@tvirus9369]

Chuck e cheese is still open here in Visalia

[@snt1e.]

Omg bro when did anyone even care about anything in Visalia 😭

[@veronancyy]

rip visalia

[@sunkenchannel]

is davenport ias still getting a video {srry for asking}

[@ItzaRob]

Yes, this mini-series ended up holding up requests (I wanted to make it anyways though since they're going quick), so it'll take awhile to get to your request. I'm gonna do it, but it's going to take a good while since I do it based off of when they posted it (older requests come before newer ones).

[@absb0905]

​@@ItzaRobcan you do columbia sc it was a 3 stage

[@ItzaRob]

@@absb0905 Sure, I've added it to the backup list.

[@slayalishous]

Do you know how Visalia in pronounced???

[@ItzaRob]

I say it in the way that sounds best. If you’re a local and cannot handle that, then I don’t know what to tell you other than I do not live anywhere near California and therefore do not know how they pronounce it.

[@marvel_dc_basedyt69420]

We pronounce it like Vi (like die) say-lea, Visalia. It's believed to mean union in Arabic Visal

[@RatKingLiam]

Lynnwood was a 3 stage... techinally.

[@ItzaRob]

It closed before I started this series so it wouldn't have made it even if I had counted it.

[@shiknoko1558]

Exacuse me 😭😭😭

[@LeathalAlchemistSlap]

Very cool fisrt comment (I know I know No one cares) :(
