Hi all.

I stumbled acrossed this site the other day.. I went to show biz as a kid in DE... Loved it. Never have been to cec. The other day my boyfriend mentioned taking our son to cec for the first time, and I began my trip down memory lane lol.. Spent HOURS poking around on this site.

There were two sbp in DE one in wilmington one in dover. They are both cec's now in what was to my knowledge their original locations.

I recall going to my kindergarten "boyfriends" 6th b day party at sbp, still have a prize I won.. a pencil sharpener shaped that looks like a duck decoy of all things. This would have been in 83 or 84. I remember a ball pit, a helicopter ride, the little seat you sat in that went around in a circle vertically, I remember the tv screens that dropped from the ceiling. I have not learned all of your stage descriptions and I dont totally recall the set up- but I think it was 3 sections.

Anyway just wanted to say hi... we will probably go check out cec with in the next few weeks.

Hi Shannon! Welcome to our Forum!

Be prepared when you go into a modern day CEC - they're a toddler heaven now. Very different from the way the stores were back in the early 1980s, almost to the point of being unrecognizable. Most fans get a rude awakening after going into one after 20 years of never attending one, so be warned ;)

I'm going to agree with VegaNova on this one. Dont' be too shocked to see your precious animatronics gone and replaced with a show that overall pales in comparison to the classic 3-stage, 2-stage, etc.

Also, welcome to the boards. :D

Welcome to the Forum.

I went to go visit the CEC in Wilmington in July.

Welcome! I hope you become a fan and brainwash your children, so this crazy obsession we all share won't die out!
