Watching the Toy Story quick look got me thinking about the Pizza Planet place in the first movie. What was more fun than Pizza and getting tickets and prizes. This reminded me of a place near my house that used to be the location of a bunch of kids pizza parties: Funtime Pizza. For a long time it used to be an arcade only called Gamezone until they started to do the pizza side and changed the name. This place was awesome not only because a buddy and I could play Time Crisis or Jurassic park and waste our tokens, but there was a go-kart and mini-golf place right next to the arcade, so the day always involved a little mini-golf then some games.
So what was your Pizza Planet when you were a kid?
What was your Pizza Planet?
Usually it was the Chuck E. Cheese's 15 min away from my house. That was back in the day when Chuck E's was still a decent place for little kids, not littered with hoodlums & such. Awesome games, good pizza (ok, well not horrible pizza), tokens & tickets & stupid songs by the animatronic band. Good times.
My place was called Fun, Fun, Fun in Fayettville NC.
It's gone downhill recently with a bunch of pirate themed laser tag crap, but the pizza's still good.
The Mojos alone are enough but throw in the pizza and chicken plus arcade games...makes me wish I was back in California.
That's a real thing? I thought it was nothing more than what would happen if you threw a bunch of aborted fetuses into a huge pile. Also, I can't remember the name of my Pizza Planet, but I remember it existing.
That's right, before they bough Chuck E. Cheese, then decided that was the better name to unify their restaurants under.
Back when they still had a ton of arcade machines, and it wasn't all just about winning tickets to buy prizes.
Billy Bob's band was A-W-E-S-O-M-E!
" Celebration Station. I was a 2 story arcade filled with arcade games, air hockey tables, and a pretty gigantic maze like obstacle for kids to play in. There was a go kart track in the back as well. The place was pretty much a chuck e cheese on steroids. "Uh oh Trilogy are you in Clearwater? I've seen that place before!
We had a place called Kartworld that was pretty damn fantastic; nice big arcade with a go kart track in the back. I cut my teeth on some Marvel Super Heroes there.
