Studio C 2000 Prototype

Sign in to edit

The Studio C 2000 Prototype stage (also referred as the Studio C Prototype or Studio C Alpha/Beta Mix) was a one-character Chuck E. Cheese's animatronic test stage that was installed between 2000 and 2001.

There were only 5 of them installed, with the last of them being removed on October 18, 2022, rendering the stage extinct.

History[]

Creation[]

The stage was created as a result of the efforts to reduce and/or remove several features from the original Studio C Alpha stage. These included the desk in front of Chuck E. being removed (The Alpha desks were causing wear and tear on the animatronic), the entire "Studio C" late night theme being dropped altogether, as well as the Interactive Console being removed. This stage was installed in five locations, all in the United States. Athens, Georgia, Brownsville, Texas, Tyler, Texas, Midland, Texas, and Clarksville, Tennessee.

Studio C Alpha/Prototype Mix[]

The location in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia (Corniche), which opened in December of 2001, featured a mix between the Studio C (1997) and Studio C Prototype, which was its own separate stage known as a Studio C Alpha/Prototype Mix. Jeddah would close in July of 2019, pre-dating any removals of the Studio C Prototype. As of November 2022, the building which housed the former location is still intact, but abandoned and severely vandalized. The stage is still intact, albeit with a lack of the Chuck E. bot, and a damaged backdrop.

Removals and Retirement[]

Starting in 2019, Studio C Prototypes began to be removed from their stores due to 2.0, with the first such removal being Clarksville, Tennessee. Clarksville opened in February 2001 as the last prototype to be installed, and would have it until August/September of 2019, when they would receive 2.0. They were the last Prototype to have working curtains, and one of two to have the Pizza Time clock (Athens was the other).

The second removal was the Brownsville, Texas location. Brownsville opened in July 2000 as the second prototype to be installed, and would have it until September/October 2019, when they would receive 2.0.

The third removal was Tyler, Texas. Tyler opened in July 2000, a few days after Brownsville as the third prototype to be installed, and would have it until November 2021, when they would receive 2.0.

The fourth removal was Athens, Georgia. Athens opened in April 2000 as the very first Studio C Prototype, and was the most complete of the 5 installed, with Chuck E. and Bird animatronics, a TV on the right that looked somewhat similar to a Studio C Alpha monitor (the TV was later removed) and the Pizza Time clock (the only other location to have it was Clarksville). Athens would have their prototype until March of 2022, when they would receive 2.0. They were the second last Studio C Prototype in existence.

On October 18th, 2022, the last remaining Studio C Prototype was removed from the Midland, Texas location for their 2.0 remodel. Midland opened in October 2000 as the 4th prototype to be installed.
