Well, it would be bad to lose a 3-stage but a new hotel would be good for the local economy there at least.

He's just trying to look on the positive side of things but it comes off that way because he always tries to justify everything "bad" or against saving animatronics.

Animatronics are not like animals that need "saving". At some point they're going away, guys. What's the big deal? CEC isn't going away, just the animatronics.

2.0 is not being installed in any stores pre-1990. I've said it once and I'll say it again. Also, the only other store in the area has a cappa and has a very bad reputation with bad staff. Maybe Fort Collin's gm will move over there.

They are not "your" shows. They're CECE's shows and they've decided to (sloppy) phase them out. It's just a business decision. I know it's not one you like, but you're going to have to deal with the fact that the shows are at some point going away. You'll still have the songs and characters, just not in animatronic form.

2.0 (or some form of it) is eventually coming to your store, or your store is simply going away. That might not happen for years, but I can almost guarantee that it will happen at some point. Embrace the future, don't be upset about it.

And I think that's a perfectly fair statement. But you are very insensitive about the fact that a lot of these people grew up with these animatronics and are sad to see them go. You can justify it and say that change is good and there are a lot of reasons that 2.0 can be good. But just be a little more thoughtful of that.

Whew, we managed to talk about 2.0 even in a thread about a store closure haha.

Look at it this way, They might not need parts anymore meaning that they (the stores) might start selling Animatronics to collectors or people who are willing to pay for them. (Or if they throw them in the trash, Then you can go dumpster driving.) I would love to convert A CEC 3 stage back into an RAE 3 Stage.

EDIT: This is a response to Big Chuck and Mr. Ruxpin.

"Sloppy" is supposed to be "probably" and I have no idea how my auto-correct changed that and I missed it. LOL!

Really sad to hear the last 3 Stage in CO will be going. That state was already sub-par when it came to CEC locations (At least in my opinion), the one store with the entire band now going away is definitely bad news for Colorado CEC fans. Anyway, I don't have much of a problem with Paul's stance on the current affairs we're dealing with. The animatronics are outdated and from a business perspective, it's reasonable for the company to progress by removing them. Still, as a fan of animatronics I'd hate to see them go away, that'd suck.

I don't think he's "insensitive", I think he just strongly believes his opinion, and if he wants to express it, he's allowed to. He's not breaking any rules, he's not calling any proponent of keeping animatronics an idiot, he's simply sharing his thoughts and feelings on this subject. Fans can be as passionate as they want when it comes to saving the show, but when someone has an opinion drastically different from their's, that's a bad thing?

Same thing can be said about Paul, the whole "Embrace the future" thing is exactly what I'm talking about, if fans don't care for the direction the company is going in, they have the right to criticize it, their viewpoints don't have to stick the company's agenda. They really like the animatronics, if they're removed, they're losing a great hobby.

Debating on this issue is fine, in fact it keeps the forum boards active, and keeps CEC discussion alive. I just want to throw in my two cents, defending both sides of the issue, my philosophy is that everyone has the right to their own opinion, no matter how unpopular it may be. Yes, to one who is passionate about a specific opinion may consider the counterargument insane and ridiculous, but as long as each side is treated with respect, all's good (This of course goes against opinions which are obviously malign like the supporting of terrorism, serial killers, cults, etc.)

I like the animatronics and if it was up to me and money was no issue I would keep them and mandate that stores maintain them so they don't look terrible.

But it isn't up to me and money is an issue, guys. Money, and branding.

By insensitive, I mean he has no regard for other people's feelings on the animatronics. Like I said, him explaining why 2.0 is good/why the animatronic removal can be good is perfectly fine. But be a little considerable of people who have grown up with these guys and are sad to see them go. That's what I mean by insensitive.

Your feelings don't matter either way. CECE is going to do whatever is best for business. Nothing lasts forever. CEC's restaurants have changed 4 or 5 times over since I was a kid and that's just the way it goes.

You still have the memories (and photos and videos) of how CEC was when you were a kid.

Dude, you're not comprehending what I'm saying. I'm not even talking about the company here, I'm talking about you always talking against them regardless of "people's feelings". I know CEC doesn't care but the whole thing is you making a bunch of topics about animatronics and just further explaining why it's good getting rid of them regardless of how people feel.
