Surfer's Paradise, Queensland, Australia

Area near the Prize Center, May 1981.

2 Cavill Avenue was a Charlie Cheese's Pizza Playhouse that opened in March 1981 with a Balcony Stage, which closed and relocated to Carindale, Queensland, in 1982.

This was the very first location outside of the United States, and after Carindale closed in 1984-1986, there have been no Chuck E Cheeses in Australia.

Stage

The location opened with a Shelf Stage with Madam Oink guest character. They would also have Dolli Dimples in the cabaret.

The animatronics were likely relocated to the Carina location after this location closed in 1982.

History

Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza Time Theatre was looking to expand internationally as early as 1979, and the very first location they opened outside the US was in Australia. The location was actually the 28th Pizza Time Theatre to open. The name was changed to Charlie Cheese's Pizza Playhouse, since the word "Chuck" in Australian English means "To throw up". The location was in a entertainment venue called "Grundy's Paradise Centre", which was founded by a man named Roy Grundy, who was apart of the Grundy Organization, a company that did many different things, like making Australian TV shows. The location would remain untouched until it relocated in 1982, making it the very first Chuck E. Cheese location to close down.
