Chuck E. Cheese's Niagara Falls, New York

**Chuck E. Cheese's** is a family entertainment center located in Niagara Falls, New York. It is one of the largest Chuck E. Cheese's locations in the United States.

## History

The Niagara Falls, New York location dates back to 1983 when it was branded as "Showbiz Pizza" In 1990 during "Concept Unification" the location closed as "Showbiz Pizza" and was later reopened as a "Phase 3" Chuck E. Cheese's after a prolonged shutdown that started in December 1989 and finished in March 1990.

2016 saw a massive redesign and overhaul after a prolonged shutdown. The location was remodeled entirely, bringing it in line with the brand-new "Phase 6" locations. It was soon branded as one of Chuck E.'s largest locations in their domestic market of the United States.

## Show Status

Ever since the mid-2016 reopening, the location's showroom has the brand new "Studio C Delta" stage, as well as an interactive dance floor and extensive LED lighting.

The replacement of the 3-stage was a result of miscommunication with the store manager.

The Studio C Delta is a rare variation in which the CEI animatronic remains, although his outfit was retrofitted with a Rockstar one.

Mr. Cheesy's Pizza

**Mr. Cheesy's Pizza** is an FEC/ Restaurant chain from West Virginia. The chain came from former Chuck E. Cheese's locations, and uses slightly retrofitted cyberamic characters.

## History

Mr. Cheesy's Pizza actually started out as a Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza Time Theater franchise in West Virginia as early as 1981. The first location, which was the Charleston "Alex Lane", West Virginia location, was very successful, so much so that another location opened in Beckley, West Virginia in 1982.

Then in 1995, it was announced that the same franchise owner was going to make a third CEC location in Huntington, West Virginia. Unfortunately, the owners of the franchise, Robert Cook, was asked to remove the already existing PTT elements from both already open locations. Corporate then revoked his right to use the CEC brand. The good news was that corporate had given him things like the Kid Check stands for all of his locations, and the Huntington location already had it's animatronics shipped with the cosmetics. Then he got the idea to make these places his own.

In mid 1995, all of his CEC locations closed to be under renovation. He sold everything mentioning CEC to corporate that he could not make his own, and he started work on his own FEC chain. On February 17th, 1996, the first Mr. Cheesy's Pizza location opened on the site of the Charleston "Alex Lane", West Virginia location. The other locations opened soon after. The characters were slightly rebranded as follows: Chuck E. Cheese became Mr. Cheesy, Helen Henny became Chrissy Mc. Chick, Mr. Munch became M.C. Monster, Jasper T. Jowls became Harry Hound, and Pasqually became Chef Luigi. The locations were successful in their first years.

In 2000, the Beckley location closed. This was due to low sales in the area. Then, in 2003, the other two locations closed due to Robert Cook finding that running two locations at once wasn't as profitable. But both locations combined to become the new Charleston "7th Avenue", West Virginia location opened in 2004. The location used elements from all prior Mr. Cheesy's locations.

In 2022, another Mr. Cheesy's Pizza opened in Winfield, West Virginia.

This same technician was also the person who made the decision to put any removed things from the stage in storage instead of throwing them away, which would eventually result in the display area being started. Numerous characters have been given things from the 1-Stage or 2-Stage. Jasper and Pasqually use Cyberamic masks, Chuck E. uses Jasper's shoes from a cyberamic stage and the technician is trying to find a cyberamic mask to replace Helen's deteriorating mask.

Charlie Chimp's Pizzeria

**Charlie Chimp's Pizzeria** was a small chain of five restaurants in England, UK. They were open from 1991 to 2002.

### History

There once was a man named John Arlington. He went on a trip to America, and he saw Chuck E. Cheese's. He was inspired by this video game, pizza, and animatronics concept that was all over America. He wanted the same for Britain, which had never seen such concept before. He also wanted to make it better, with more activities. So, he called this company he heard of called "Creative Engineering." He wanted to visit the place himself, to see what they had to offer. Aaron Fechter then gave him a tour of his Orlando factory. John was amazed by his work. He wanted a show he had called "The Rock-afire Explosion." Aaron was glad to give him one for cheap. But John also wanted some adjustments. He thought Rolfe and Earl where too scary for little children, and he wanted his mascot to be in the show. So Aaron made him a retrofit of Rolfe named "Charlie Chimp." John liked this, and he redid a lot of the show to be "unique." And so in 1991, Charlie Chimps Pizzeria opened with a slightly retrofitted Rock-afire Explosion, an arcade, and mini-golf. The Rock-afire Explosion used edited showtapes to replace Rolfe and Earl with the sun and moon and to add Charlie Chimp as the lead singer. There were 13 showtapes in total (one being a birthday show). Then more locations opened in 1992. In 1994, two locations opened. The locations were located in London, and Yorkshire. They bombed in sales. In 1999, those two locations closed. This is when down-grading began. The amount of games were reduced, the playgrounds closed, and the shows were being less maintained. There have been reports of managers telling technichians to only keep their mouth and basic instrument movements (i.e. Billy Bob's strum) in working order to save costs. In 2001, only two locations were left. Another location in London, and Blackpool. Blackpool closed that same year, and London closed a year after.

Chuck E. Cheese's Shianatu City opened in 1982, and was the first Showbiz Pizza Place in Missorado province. A Showbiz had opened earlier that year in Superabet City. This SPP was located in a converted department store known as Vitinsky's.

In 1990, the Shianatu City Showbiz Pizza Place was shut down, and reopened under the Chuck E. Cheese's brand.

In 2016, Kabushiki Gaisha ABS acquired control of Chuck E. Cheese's. The Shianatu City location was one of the many existing locations in Dahrconia targeted in a large-scale renovation scheme.

## Show status

The location has a CU 1-stage with the full Avenger outfit (and the hat) and a Rock-afire organ front (converted from a 3-stage).

During its time as a Showbiz location, like most locations, it had the classic Rock-afire Explosion animatronics on stage.
