Okay, some of you might question my sanity when I ask you this , but! Considering the fact that this forum was easily able to create an authentic list of all the CECs in their current state within about a year and a quarter, I figured this is the place to bring up this topic. So, there are a lot of CEC locations out there. Some of which have been filmed A LOT in history (Like Waterbury CT, Danvers MA, Corpus Christi TX, etc.), and some of which has been filmed less frequently over time (Like Pearl City HI, Wichita KS, Downingtown PA, etc.). Now here's the question. Is it possible to answer this question: What is the least filmed CEC? My answer, is probably no. But! We might be able to pinpoint some of the locations which may fall into that category . Now for this question, I'm talking about locations which are CURRENTLY open. Locations which have been closed, DO NOT COUNT!!! This is for currently open locations ONLY!Now, to narrow this down, we're obviously going to have to cut down all the locations which HAVE been filmed! That would take a LONG time to narrow down those locations, so I think we can imagine what type of location would get put in this category. Either locations which don't have importance to fans, like a plain old Studio C Cappa, Beta, botless COL, or Party Zone Stage, at your average Phase 4/5 location, or locations that are international. There are a good number of International locations in total, in Canada, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Guatemala, Chile, UAE, Trinidad & Tobago, Peru, Mexico, Mexico DF, Puerto Rico, Panama, Colombia, and Guam. It is likely one of the locations in these countries get filmed the least. Since we have someone in the fandom in Chile, as well as Guatemala, I think we can cross out those as likely candidates, and since Mexico has been featured in a lot of Promo, we can scratch that off, there are multiple videos online of Canadian locations, I've found videos of the Guam locations online, there are numerous videos from PR locations, I found one video for Peru, I found a few Trinidad & Tobago videos, there are a few UAE videos, and there is at least 1 video from a Panama location. We've even found footage from the famous Saudi Arabia CEC, so we can scratch that off. And I found 1 video from the Colombia location. So, this leads me to question, which country could contain the least filmed CEC? I believe it might be Panama, because even though I found 1 video of it, the other location in Panama could be the one missing. Right now, I'm not going to do anymore research, as it's late, and I need to get some sleep , and I'll resume my research sometime tomorrow .

Yep - The CEC Bros covered a bunch of stores in the NY area! (that's why I said "For a very long time") I'd imagine some of the international locations might not have searched-for video. |

I hardly see any video of my "Home" store of La Crosse, WI. I put home in quotes because I actually don't live in that area but it's the only CEC I've ever been to. 2016 was the first year as far as I know in which video of the location was put on YouTube with a total of at least four so far from at least two different users. |

You've found videos of the La Crosse WI location. Can you give me the link please, because I haven't found any videos from that location yet . Okay, on with narrowing down international locations! CEC Guatemala has provided us with videos from all the Guatemala locations (Even the recently opened relocation of the old Guatemala City location, which has now moved to Condado Concepción). Now, I have found various videos from the Saudi Arabia locations. http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=Chuck%20e%20cheese%20saudi%20arabia&qs=n&form=QBVR&pq=chuck%20e%20cheese%20saudi%20arabia&sc=2-27&sp=-1&sk= While none of these have "Jeddah" in the title, few of these videos can be confirmed to be the Riyadh location. Also, if I'm not mistaken, I could've sworn I saw a video from the Jeddah location months ago. I remember, because the ice skating rink was shown in the video (And I'm pretty sure the Jeddah location has the ice skating rink, if I'm not mistaken). There are multiple videos from the Dubai Mall location (Which is awesome because it's the only UAE location which as a bot) http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=Chuck%20e%20cheese%20Dubai%2C%20Dubai%20Mall%2C%20UAE%20&qs=n&form=QBVR&pq=chuck%20e%20cheese%20dubai%2C%20dubai%20mall%2C%20uae%20&sc=0-0&sp=-1&sk= I have found 1 video from the Dubai Metha location. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w42JVswpWDM I however, have not found a single video from the Dubai, Mina Jebel Ali, UAE location. So, that's going on the list. I have found 1 video from the Trinidad & Tobago location. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJ_rQ0b75e8 |

Here ya go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qC5LiAmtypI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acvLkHM1aGo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIF7uReY6I8 The first link is from Show 6 while the other two are from Show 8. I'll also provide some triva regarding this location: *La Crosse opened in late '82/early '83 as a corporate owned SPP. *Jasper's bandana at this location is actually Pasqually's. *Jasper had Beach Bear's guitar up until at least 2015. *From what I can tell, Helen still has her original CU legs. |

So currently, there is a list of locations in Saudi Arabia by CEC Master. http://w11.zetaboards.com/Retro_Pizza_Zone/topic/30118281/1/#new It's going to be really hard to determine if a least filmed location is from Saudi Arabia, considering the amount of stores there are, but I'm going to try to see which ones have videos, and which ones don't. The link I posted earlier about the Saudi Arabia locations has 1 video from the Riyadh Exit 5 location, 1 video from the Dammam location, and 1 video with "Jeddah" in the title (I missed that when I originally looked at the link). I'm pretty sure I've seen footage from the Jeddah location which is an Alpha/Beta mix (If that's the one with the ice skating rink, then I know there is 1 video from that location), and if this additional video is from the location with a 16 Movement Beta, then that means we have at least 1 video from both Jeddah locations. |

Honestly, I'd say that the least filmed CEC (or, at least one of them.) is definitely Brownsville, TX. This location is a Studio C Beta, but there's something that stands out about it - It's only the stage and bluescreen area. No TVs in between them, not even 1, and yet nobody even mentions it because nobody knows about it, lol. If anybody's interested, the store has their own Instagram account, and you can see the stage in the background of a photo by typing the location into google, it'll show up with the location's spot on the map. |

Eastgate, OH. I don't think I've seen hardly anyone film there; it's a pretty dirty location. 🙃 |

Okay. I found 2 videos of the Eastgate OH location. One is a 4 minute long video, and you can see the stage throughout almost the entirety of the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVAnEVPGEBs The Eastgate OH location is said to be a Beta, but it looks more like a Beta/Cappa mix (With there being absolutely no area for the bluescreen next to the TVs, the spot where the Bluescreen would be on a Cappa is replaced with a Beta looking background [With light up mirrors], but the stage seems to be in a layout like a Cappa). There's an additional 6 second video I found from this location. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyAwAPVXoMk Now since there's 2 videos of this location, I'm not going to include it in the possibilities for least filmed CEC location, and since jaspertjowlsCECCHILE has 1 video from the los trampenses location, we're going to remove that from the list. Now, let's continue to narrow down the Saudi Arabia locations. But before that, I found a BIG find! I found footage from the Brownsville TX location! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkPV95VXxKE The description says it's from Brownsville, and the video shows us the bluescreen, and you can see a bit of the stage's curtain, even a snippet of the bottom left of the stage itself, towards the end of the video. Considering this video was uploaded in 2010, and since there are only 271 views at the moment, it's no wonder that this location has been obscure for a long time. So, considering the fact that I've found 1 video, Brownsville is going off the list. (Since there are locations out there with no videos). Now, before we move on to Saudi Arabia locations, is this a pic from the Fayetteville NC location? ![]() I found it on a website that has multiple pics of this location, but I didn't dig deep enough to find out if there were any videos. Now, on with the Saudi Arabia locations (Also, might I say, I'm pretty happy for the costumers of these locations. Because even though they don't have the best shows, some of these pics are very impressive) http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=chuck+e+cheese+jeddah+saudi+arabia&FORM=AWIR The short video I mentioned earlier, I think I can confirm is the Alpha/Beta mix location (Since it's a photo slideshow, and the outside building pic is the same as the Beta/Alpha mix location, if I'm not mistaken) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGQTKvljKOw Now comes into question, this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gY16AlAsYyk At 1:57 we can see a COL stage in the background. This can be any of the locations, except for Jeddah "Al Kurnaysh", Jeddah "Prince Mohammed", and Riyadh "Olaya", which have Studio C's. The title of the video says "Al khobar". I do not know what this means, whether it's the same thing as one of the COL locations on this thread: http://w11.zetaboards.com/Retro_Pizza_Zone/topic/30118281/1/#new, or it means I've found a new location. I found an additional video from Saudi Arabia, which has a COL in it from 4:10-6:23 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwbVwuKP8n8 By 4:20, you can see the right of the stage in the background, and if you hadn't noticed, there is no bot. So, that means this video is either the Riyadh Exit 9 location, the Damman location, or the Mecca location. There is one video from a Riyadh location, but since there is no footage of the stage, it's hard to tell what this location is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PW02j4OLrE I have also found a 30 minute vlog from a Saudi Arabia location, but since there's hardly any footage of the CEC itself (Let alone the stage), it's impossible to determine what location the vlog takes place at. So, that's all the information I have, regarding Saudi Arabia locations. It is definitely hard to determine which location is which, with many videos not having the location in their name or description. It's safe to say that Damman, Riyadh Exit 5, and the Jeddah Al Kurnaysh locations are not on this list, since I've found at least 1 official video with their location name in the title, as well as other videos which could possibly from the same locations {For instance, there are multiple videos that show up when I look up Saudi Arabian CEC locations, Preone0 Event Management & P.R Inauguration videos shows up, which show an ice rink in the videos (And sine we know the Jeddah Al Kurnaysh location is the location where the ice rink is, we know this location is probably one of the most filmed CECs in Saudi Arabia. So, that's all for now. I'm probably going to go into more detail, and research for the Dubai videos, and start on the Peru videos.

Hmmmm, interesting! It could be! I haven't been to this (or any other) Chuck E. Cheese's in over a decade, but I can see that they still have the Studio C Alpha that I remember! It seems that they've done remodeling, because I can see that the "interactive console" is gone! Also, I know for a fact that there weren't two televisions next to the set the last time I went! This is such an interesting find! You must please give me the link to where you found this photo! Thank you so, so much for finding this! I cannot thank you enough! The memories of where I started to become a CEC fan are starting to come back to me! Hopefully, one day, I'll go to Chuck E. Cheese's again! Right now, I'm just gonna be a member of the Zone! Thank you for finding this!!! I'll see what I can find myself!

Hopefully, we might find more photos, and footage from this location in the future UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE!!! I HAVE FOUND FOOTAGE FROM FAYETTEVILLE NC!!! It's just a 1:10 video of the ticket blaster, but hey! It's better than nothing .https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1x337qturU0 There is one good part about the video, at 0:34 where the camera briefly turns towards the stage (Which appears to have it's curtains closed) .

Okay, so I've already mentioned earlier that there are no videos from the Dubai Mina Jebel Ali, UAE location, but I forgot to add that to the list. There are 3 Peru locations, Lima, Peru Arequipa, Peru Trujillo, Peru All of which, has a botless COL. First off, we have this video... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0SW7O-hmkA Now this video got my attention right off the bat, because the stage was right behind the main vlogger of this video. Now this video is an entirely different language, so I have absolutely no clue what he's saying, but I listened closely to find out whether or not he'd say the city this location was in, but I didn't hear anything involving the city, unless of course, if I misheard something. Now I have found multiple videos with the name "Lima" in the title, and it's obvious it's from Peru, and not the Ohio location .This one being some sort of news report, showing off the location https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyFwinNSs6U I have found MULTIPLE videos showing off this location, whether it's in promo form, or not. So, Lima Peru does not go on the list. But what about the other 2 location? Here's some irony for you, the Arequipa, Peru location has a few INTERVIEW videos. but from the main 2 I found, there is absolutely no footage of this location in those videos. There is however, a long dancing promo, from what looks like the inside of a mall (Likely whatever mall the location was put into). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PG-BLCJR53E Now there's another video that came up while I was looking up this location, which shows off a COL stage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KEjI10NZAA It doesn't really confirm whether or not this is the Arequipa location, but! I compared this to the previous video I showed you guys, involving the vlogger, which has a COL in the background of the video at some parts. I compared the COL stages, and the wall to the right of them in both videos, as well as the Phase 5 Green Light up Chuck poster, and windows. I can confirm that these 2 videos are from the same location! So, as of right now, I'm going to use my best guess, and say that these 2 videos are from the Arequipa location, since they both showed up when I looked up Arequipa Peru, and they did not show up when I looked up Lima Peru, so I'm going to guess that these 2 videos are from the Arequipa location, so that won't make the list. Now right off the bat, when I looked up the final location, I found 1 video from the Trujillo Peru location. How do I know it's from this location? It says so in the title of the video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vpjx_bEPcg And I can confirm this is different from the other two, since we get an overview of the location at 0:19, and there are many differences to the Arequipa videos, like the lack of windows near the stage, and the purple walls near the stage. Plus, the exterior is different from the Lima location, so as of now, I'm going to say all Peru locations have at least 1 video, so there's no need for any of them to make the list. I'll probably go back to the Arequipa location videos in the future, and compare them to the Lima videos, just to make sure I'm wrong, and they're the same, but as of now, I'm moving on with the search. Next up will be Puerto Rico, then Panama. @Chuckster CEC Here's a pic of the type of stage he's talking about. ![]() It's not from Brownsville, but it's the same type of stage.
