Phase 3 (2000)

Phase 3 is the third major upgrade for Showbiz Pizza Time locations that includes a new game package, enhanced prize and merchandise offerings, "Toddler Zone", and improved product presentation and service. This upgrade was rolled out to most locations by the end of 2003.

Kid Check & Menu Improvements
The Kid Check has received a station, adding on an over head black light to see invisible ink stamped onto guests hands. The physical menu in the restaurant also updated to feature Chuck E. Cheese's newest design.

Skytubes & Toddler Zone Improvements
The Skytubes in most locations were slightly downsized and had new additions, such as a Nascar or Police car, and monkey cage. In addition to this the Ball Crawl was also to be removed in later renditions of this upgrade.

In addition, this phase introduces the finalized "Toddler Town" concept from phase 1 as the "Toddler Zone". The Toddler Zone would now have a small playground and a wider variety of games and rides suitable for toddlers.

Ticket Munchers
Ticket Munchers were the initial replacements for the traditional way of counting tickets with an electronic ticket counter. This was tested at the Montfort Dr. Dallas, Texas location as early as 1998.
