Studio C 2000 Prototype

The Studio C 2000 Prototype is a stage that was installed in Chuck E. Cheese's locations from 2000-2001. This prototype is now extinct, the final one being removed on October 18, 2022.

History
In 2000 Corman & Associates created a new stage per request of CEC to lessen the cost of shows per location. Three were installed in unquie styled locations through-out the year 2000 and the last one following in 2001. The first one to be removed was Clarksville, TN in 2019, followed by Brownsville, TX shortly after. Shortly after the 2020 pandemic Tyler, TX would be removed in 2021 as CEC returned to normal operations. The two remaining shows, Athens, GA and Midland, TX, would be removed in 2022--making this prototype extinct.

Design
In general this stage consisted of a condensed version of the Studio C concept, getting rid of the late-night concept and most of the interactive elements. The bluescreen received a redesign to better fit into a wall as this is the first Studio C variant to not have a area leading behind the main stage. Chuck E.'s stage has also received a redesign, reducing the late night set into a Jukebox-like fixture behind Chuck E. and Bird. Finally, a monitor was to the left of the Chuck E. animatronic, still containing the same general lighting from it's previous iteration.

The next locations received modified variants of this concept, with Tyler, TX and Clarksville, TN receiving a nearly identical stage, however the monitor was changed to be on a gray box with just three solid lights. As with Brownsville and Midland, TX--they never had a main monitor to begin with.
