Trivia
- Gastonia was one of the few locations to add shoes onto their Chuck E. Cheese Animatronic (One of two to do so in North Carolina, The other to do so was Greensboro which was a 3-Stage. Wilmington {Another 3-Stage store} was also supposed to do this before they closed in 2020 according to the store's management but it didn't happen due to store closure). Visalia (3-Stage), Cordova, TN (1636 N Germantown Pkwy)|Cordova (Studio C Beta, 32m; Removed in October 2021), & Corporate also put shoes on the Chuck E. Cheese Animatronics as well.
- Weirdly enough, Gastonia was built inside a hill according to street view imagery, making the exterior not fully viewable from a certain angle.
- Before the COVID-19 Pandemic, Gastonia was originally planned to get 2.0 in around April 2020; if the plan has had happened, they would of had a 2019 Model Dance Floor.
