The 2-Stage is a stage format found at Chuck E. Cheese's locations that either opened with the stage or replaced a previous stage from 1992 to 1997. It was the first Cyberamic stage to give all the characters legs, as the Rocker Stage had Chuck E., Helen, and Jasper with legs, but Munch and Pasqually were still half-bodied. As of August 2023, there are 13 2-Stages in the United States and Canada.
History
The 2-Stage was created in 1992 to unify all C-Stage and Road Stage locations to one setup and to be consistent with Concept Unification and the company's future plans.
The first 2-Stage was installed at the White Settlement, TX location in February 1992. After that, it would go on to be installed in approximately 100 CEC locations across the United States, Canada, Chile, and Guatemala.
Design
The 2-Stage has had multiple different design variations.
Prototypes
White Settlement, TX's 2-Stage had 3-Stage buildings and Jasper's can, a solid blue valance, and a Road Stage Munch organ.
San Antonio, TX's and Merced, CA's (Later at Chesapeake, VA) 2-Stages, like White Settlement, also had 3-Stage buildings. Chuck also stood on top of a red platform.
Herndon, VA's 2-Stage had unique buildings that no other 2-Stage had.
Standard
The standard 2-Stage design also went through several changes over the years. For starters, there are three different overall stage lengths. 24', 26', and 28'. Depending on the length of the stage, it could have as little as two buildings or as many as four.
Some earlier 2-Stages had a bevel in between Chuck and Helen, where the TV and fiber optic CEC sign are however, they stopped doing this early on into development,
Earlier 2-Stages also had side curtains, whereas later 2-Stage had lift curtains. Some 2-Stages with side curtains, such as Waterbury, CT, Annapolis, MD, & Worcester, MA converted to these newer lift curtains.
There were several smaller changes such as the valance varying from green, blue, or black, the building backdrops being painted in an odd way around 1995-1996, etc.
