Holy Crap, Chuck E Cheese is Coming to St. Cloud!

I'm with Phet on this one... I remember the glory days of our old CEC, spent alo of weekend nights there as a teenager back in 1986 playing Pole Position, Star Wars (cockpit), Battlezone, and Super Chexx hockey with my buddy Jason, in between sessions on the dancefloor trying to get girls to dance with us! Very fond memories of that place!!!

Yes, back in the day CEC was great. We went there not too long ago and it was just crap, the place was overcrowded, either the games didn't work right or some little puke had 600 tokens and wasn't walking away from the game until they were all gone. This is another reason I'm building my own arcade, I don't have to deal with that crap and I'm responsible for keeping the games running right. Maybe its just the same now as it was then and I'm just more sensitive to the BS but I just can't have fun there anymore.

I think I would still be somewhat drawn to CEC even without the games had they not removed all the animitronic characters and replaced them with video screen shows. Some playable games would be nice too but I don't expect a business that plans to profit to put classics on location.

I wish CEC had at least a few machines for adults. I take my nehpews there and I dread it.

Do they still serve beer? That might make it tolerable.

Isn't there one in Maple Grove?

We have an adult CEC called Dave and Busters, its CEC with beer and no kids. I've never been there but I hear its fun.

Yeah we do have dave and busters near us. I wouldn't say there are no kids just less. It is fun but all newer games and redemption. The Rocklin location is small compared to the Great Mall D&B's in the san jose area. Rocklin has a bar and dining area but the dining area is small. Personally I think they should have found a larger location. Not bad but could have been better IMO.
