Stages
The store opened with the Rock Afire Explosion on November 11th 1981, then got Concept Unification on April 28th 1991 causing the stage to be converted into a 3stage. Colerain was an interesting 3-stage as by the end of its life almost everything had been removed/changed.
Between 1992-2002 Munch Jr had been removed, all the latex masks were replaced with Plastic by 2002, next was Pizzacam by 2001-2002, The tuxedo outfit was replaced with the full Cool Chuck outfit sometime between 2002-2005, The CEC Neon sign was removed 2002-2005, The TV Light and TV Box were removed between 2005-2007, The curtains were removed in 2007-2008, Chuck went from full Cool Chuck to full Avenger in February 2011, around this time frame was when the condition of the stage improved majorly from its previous years. Munch's Make Believe Band Sign was removed in 2013, During Summer 2016 the tech left at Colerain leading the stage to fall causing the removal of the final few props that could still be removed. Moon was removed in 2017, Building was removed 2018, Chucks CRT removed also in 2018, Then on September 22nd 2019 the entire 3-stage was removed as the store closed.
History
The Colerain Ave Showbiz Pizza Place opened up November 11th 1981 opening in front of the former Gold Circle Mall the store featured The Show Room, Sports Room, 60 Arcade games, a merry-go-around, and "a magic cave". This store remained unchanged until the late 80s when the store remodeled gaining the checkered patterns on the walls and oil paintings removing much of the Showbiz color scheme.
Soon after that on April 29th 1991 where the store went under Concept Unification. Soon after the store renovating the entire restaurant to feature a new updated game package, new art work, new paint job basically new everything. Then in September 2009 the store recieved a major facelift removing the showroom walls, all the old 90s decor, and expanding outwards into the parking lot. With that remodel came with what's normal for a 05 Remodel package. In 2016 the Skytubes were removed and the Toddler Zone was removed minus the playfort in 2017. On March 29th 2017 Michelle Wagner overdosed on heroin in the Women's Bathroom. Full article here. Then on September 17th 2019 it was announced via an employee who worked at the store that on September 22nd 2019 Colerain, Ave would close after 38 years due to the owner of the property increasing rent on the lease and CEC no longer wanting to spend the amount on the store. As of 2022 the store is still vacant and being used as storage for the car dealership across the street.
