The CU 2-Stage was a full character special stage type that used 3-Stage characters and props with a 2-Stage-like format. This stage was never installed in a CEC location, rather it was used in the ShowBiz Pizza Time Corporate Office.
History[]
The CU 2-Stage was a programming stage used at the ShowBiz Pizza Time Corporate Office to program new Existing Stages (both 3-Stage and Cyberamic animatronics) shows. The stage was installed during 1990, and featured The Rock-afire Explosion band, though would be retrofitted to have Munch's Make Believe Band before September that same year. It was originally the Corporate 3-Stage before being changed into the CU 2-Stage sometime between 2002-2004. It would be used for over a decade until 2015 when CEC Entertainment decided to move their headquarters. The stage was taken down and relocated in July 2015. It would later become the 1/3-Stage at the CEC Entertainment Home Office.
Design[]
Stage Right (Chuck E. Cheese)[]
Chuck E. Cheese was on the right on his own stage. He stood on top of a black triangular pedestal with a TV next to him (referred to as the Jukebox) displaying the showtape footage, a giant star behind him, a neon sign with his name, and a black curtain in the back. There was also a white curtain that could cover the stage.
Center Stage (Helen Henny, Mr. Munch, Jasper T. Jowls, and Pasqually)[]
The right part of center stage was designed to resemble a rooftop at night. The stage contained Helen Henny, Mr Munch on the keyboard along with a sign that had the band's name behind him, and Jasper T. Jowls sitting on a barrel with Beach Bear's guitar. Building and Moon were behind the building backdrop, behind Helen and Jasper respectively. Munch Jr. was placed inside of a barrel between Helen and Munch. Above the stage was The Wink. The left part of center stage had Pasqually the Chef on the drums, and Pizzacam housed in a speaker box. The pair were located on what resembles a standup comedy stage, with a brick wall reading "Pasqually's Amateur Hour" in graffiti. There was also a white curtain that could cover the left part and right part of center stage.
Trivia[]
- The CU 2-Stage used The Wink animatronic from a Cyberamic stage.
- The "Munch's Make Believe Band" sign was the prototype 3-Stage sign.
