I was a little kid and it was awesome. But I bet for parents and other adults it was actually really rough ridin' creepy, right?

So you should think of "Eating out" in a dirty way, then look at that character's face.
-
That ape can whale on the keyboard though. The rest of the band rough ridin' sucked.
-
great thread sb.
That ape was scary as crap, I can't believe that place shut down though
-
I remember Salina having one of those. Where else did they have them around here? Don't know, cuz I was like 5.
-
Loved all of it.
-
Had a few of the Rockafire Explosion '45s. Yeah, they were that good.
-
these a regional thing? i grew up in phoenix and we had something called pistol pete's that looks similar (don't remember getting eyeball-raped by pedo rat-bears but that could be the repression talking)
-
Chuck E Cheese? :dunno:
-
Pretty sure Topeka had a Showbiz. Wichita did. Went to my niece's bday at CEC a few months ago and wanted to :goodbyecruelworld: about 4 minutes into it.
-
Chuck E Cheese? :dunno:
Yes. ShowBiz effectively became Chuck E Cheese's
-

Loved Chuck E. Cheese. However, around age 6 I realized DZ: Discovery Zone and Magic Forest were far superior venues for birthday parties.
-
I OWNED this place at Huntoon and Gage in Topeka.
-
I'm pretty sure little kids get aids and other horrible diseases from the ball pits
-
Hutchinson had a Show biz, I only went a couple of times as a kid. It's where I honed my skee-ball skills.
-
So this was just like a Chuck-E-Cheese for poor kids who live in crap towns?

I think it is the same as chuck e cheese. more like chuck e cheese before there was a chuck e cheese. or chuck e cheese for old people. not 100% sure though
-
Topeka had one, had a birthday party there. :cool:
-

Kind of interesting. I think Showbiz was to Fitz as Chuck E. Cheese was to Purple Pride or whatever it was that Fitz ripped off.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_E._Cheese's#Corporate_history
Eventually, Showbiz was to United as Chuck E. Cheese was to Continental, except they all decided to continue flying Continental metal.

Founded by the guy who founded Atari, Nolan Bushnell.
That is a company that failed to modernize, and smoked entirely too much weed during business hours to keep up with demand.

Love that the Showbiz in Manhattan closed and became a v. weird church and then became Cox Communications.
JK, hated that.
-
Never had a party at a Showbiz/Chucky Cheese. The closest we had was "Big Cheese Pizza," which is where we went after little league skating parties.
-
I don't remember if the Showbiz in Hutch ever became a Chuck E Cheese, but now it's a medical supply store. Remember taking field trips there to see how they made the pizza.
-
I went to the one in Manhattan. Never really cared for it after it became Chuck E Cheeses. Billy Bob > Chuck
-
Holy crap, forgot all about this shithole. Wasn't this the place where you won gold tokens?

You spend gold tokens.

Wait....wut? I don't think the Showbiz in Manhattan ever became Chuck E Cheese, did it?

Yes I do and yes it is.

I got banned from the one in Hutch cause I stole tokens out of the helicopter ride in Kiddie Barnyard Land. I was like 10 and lived right down the street. They had an 'undercover' security guard staking out the joint and he put the squeeze on me. Made me call my parents (they weren't home) and told me I could never come back.
...but I did anyway :fatty:

Damn, that's some hoodrat crap!

Dook Larue sure could play the eff out of some drums.

Hutchinson had a Show biz, I only went a couple of times as a kid. It's where I honed my skee-ball skills.
I got banned from the one in Hutch cause I stole tokens out of the helicopter ride in Kiddie Barnyard Land. I was like 10 and lived right down the street. They had an 'undercover' security guard staking out the joint and he put the squeeze on me. Made me call my parents (they weren't home) and told me I could never come back.
...but I did anyway :fatty:
got kicked out for kicking one of their machines after it stole my token. Is this showbiz - chuck e cheese - Aladdin's castle discussion going to drift towards putt putt soon?
-
No, because it is only a Showbiz (and a little bit Chuck E Cheese) discussion.

why was it that all of the shitty games were the ones that you could win the most tickets at(rhetorical question) the answer is because they are shitty.

I only played skeeball.
Also, I remember the peperoni pizza being amazing.

MHK Showbiz seemed increds as a kid. Just larger than life awesome.
