...and kids WANT to see this?
I'd like to pose a serious question for a moment. I'm assuming that you're an adult if you're reading this, at least in body, even if your mind hasn't really gotten there yet. If you saw a 7 foot rat coming towards you, would you be happy and excited and smile and want to run up to it? No... more than likely you'd be using 411 from your cell phone to call an exterminator licensed to use napalm, because the thought of a rodent that towers over the average member of the NFL is extraordinarily frightening.
So I have to ask why it is that someone thinks it's expose your child to mutant subway rats, to a theme-based restaurant filled with thousands of video games all making an endless stream of noise that would make a casino seem like a sensory deprevation chamber by comparison, be served half-assed pizza, be entertained (that's a very loosely used term, by the way) by surly teenagers who are barely attempting to mask their contempt for you, and listen to music performed by animatronics that would be more fitting in the haunted mansion at Disney World.
I swear to God, that's a description of Chuck E. Cheese's (Where a Kid can be overstimulated). Now I'm not complaining too loudly about this, I did have a good time, but the animatronic characters on "stage" were a bit frightening to say the least... not because of the characters that they're trying to have, but these things moved like nobody's serviced them since Jim Henson died, and I swear they looked possessed. The duck (a female, apparently) was checking out Chuch's package and going for periods of sometimes 2 minutes without blinking - rather like a drug addict. And if that wasn't enough, there's some sort of purple monster-like thing that had this sort of shifty look to his eyes like he was expecting his pimp to come up on stage and bust his ass at any moment... maybe it was the weed he got from the duck, who at this point, I expected to have fangs sprout out of her mouth and become a dreaded vampire duck (but not remotely as cool as Count Duckula).
I prefer Dave and Buster's... primarily because they don't assault you with high levels of weirdness.
So I guess in closing, all I can ask is, WTF?!
