  • Many Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza Time Theatre restaurants had a second-life as another entity. This is the research (thus far) about one of those retrofitted restaurants - J.J.'s Pizza Theatre.

    I’d love for you guys to do some digging on the second Fun Time Pizza location, which featured Cyberamics from the Pizza Time Theatre in McAllen, TX. No photos are available, but I can confirm after talking with multiple sources that they were indeed Chuck E. Cheese characters only “redressed” to fit to a beach theme.

    I hope that one day maybe some of these bots will be recovered one day (like "wolfman zapp" and "D.r dux") but it's a bit unlikely.

    The most distracting thing about this whole thing is that JJ is wearing a tuxedo that looks nearly identical to that of tuxedo Chuck, yet had closed over 3 years before tuxedo Chuck even existed

    Please make a video on Sgt. Singer's Pizza Circus!!! I've got a token from there, and there is one article online about it, but those are the only physical evidence of its existence. There were multiple locations, with the first being in Texas.

    This place played regular PTT showtapes with Chuck’s name dubbed over in a loud, unfitting voice. The walkaround was kept the same but with a black mask tied around his head to look like a raccoon.

      It actually isn't a bad a idea, I think freddy fazbear's pizza (at least with the first games) was a small local pizza place, not a massive nationwide chain like chuck e Cheese or showbiz

  • @BluetheFortune2006

    I have wondered what the rest of the band looks like if we got more photos about it, it might have the rest of CEC characters unchanged like on one article or a Pasqually retrofit in the other article.
    (dunno if it does have The Warblettes as well, as both articles never mentions them)

    • @showbizpizzacom
      @showbizpizzacom  Před 11 měsíci +3

      Our assumption is that they just left the other characters completely intact. If they were too lazy to change the names they likely didn’t change cosmetics either. But would be cool for more photos or video to surface to know for sure!

    someone should find the original san jose restaurant, refit it to look EXACTLY like the original, make/sculpt/mold the animatronics with the most accuracy possible, install accurate animatronic parts, and use all of the old showtapes. that would be my dream.
