Studio C started off as a test stage. This was known as the Awsome Adventure Machine. This concept later turned into studio C. This stage only had 1 Chucky bot with 16 or 32 movements. The stage opened in 1997 with a night show outfit for Chuck. As of writing this their are about 150 bots left. However they are slowly being phased out for 2.0.
'''Studio C''' is a stage concept found at Chuck E. Cheese's locations that opened from 1997-2012 and were used to replace existing stages. The first iteration of Studio C, the [[Studio C Alpha]], was installed from 1997-2002, 2012, and 2015. Following that was the [[Studio C Prototype]] as the company experimented towards the [[Studio C Beta]], which was installed from 2000-2012. A "smalltown" version of Studio C, [[Studio C Cappa]], was installed from 2003-2006, and 2009.
== History ==
In 1997, the [[Awesome Adventure Machine]] was considered a failure among Showbiz executives and was scrapped as a concept. However, the company was still focused on producing a single-animatronic show. Showbiz consulted several different clients to create animatronics for the new generation, and ultimately landed on Garner Holt Productions, who created the [[Chuck E. Cheese 32m (Animatronic)]], [[Chuck E. Cheese 16m (Animatronic)]], [[Parrot (Animatronic)]], and some of the props for the shows.
The oldest operating Studio C location is the [[Brookfield, WI (19125 W Blue Mound Rd)|Brookfield, Wisconsin]], which opened in December 1997.
Remnants of the original prototype Studio C show remain in the programming room of the [[Chuck E. Cheese's Corporate Office]].
Studio C is no longer programmed as of September 19, 2022, starting with [[Chuck E. Cheese Halloween Boo-Tacular 2022 Show]].
