I chose pizza because of the wait time and the build schedule—very few components, and not too many ways to screw it up."<a href="#cite_note-8">[7]</a> Prior to founding Atari, Bushnell would drive around the Bay Area with Atari co-founder <a href="/wiki/Ted_Dabney" title="Ted Dabney">Ted Dabney</a> looking at different pizza parlors and restaurants to brainstorm concepts. "Chuck E. Cheese was always his (Nolan's) passion project, even before Atari was a thing," said Dabney. "He wanted to start a business of family-friendly restaurants with amusement park midway games. I think initially it made no fiscal sense, so he shelved it for a while, but then when Atari took off, he had the means to pursue it, plus a built-in distribution model for Atari's new releases."<a href="#cite_note-9">[8]</a> When his first animatronic show was being assembled, Bushnell learned the costume he had bought for his main character, a coyote, was actually a rat, prompting him to suggest changing the name from "Coyote Pizza" to "Rick Rat's Pizza". His marketing team believed this name would not be appealing to customers and proposed "Chuck E. Cheese" instead. The company adopted the rat as their mascot.<a href="#cite_note-10">[9]</a> The first Chuck E.

In November 1979, he scouted Fechter's business and concluded that Creative Engineering's animatronics would be too strong a competition for Bushnell's work. Brock therefore requested that Bushnell release him from their co-development agreement, wishing to develop with Fechter instead.<a href="#cite_note-brock-13">[12]</a> In December 1979 Brock and Fechter formed ShowBiz Pizza Place Inc., and Brock gave notice to sever his development relationship with Bushnell.<a href="#cite_note-brock-13">[12]</a><a href="#cite_note-18">[17]</a> <a href="/wiki/ShowBiz_Pizza_Place" title="ShowBiz Pizza Place">ShowBiz Pizza Place</a> was conceptually identical to Pizza Time Theatre in all aspects except for animation, which would be provided by Creative Engineering.<a href="#cite_note-brock-13">[12]</a> ShowBiz Pizza Place opened its first location on March 3, 1980, in <a href="/wiki/Kansas_City,_Missouri" title="Kansas City, Missouri">Kansas City, Missouri</a>.<a href="#cite_note-history-12">[11]</a> Upon the opening of ShowBiz Pizza Place, Bushnell sued Brock and Topeka Inn Management over a breach of contract.<a href="#cite_note-brock-13">[12]</a> Brock immediately issued a counter-suit against Bushnell, citing misrepresentation.<a href="#cite_note-brock-13">[12]</a> The court case began in March 1980,<a href="#cite_note-brock-13">[12]</a> and the courts ruled in favor of Bushnell after he successfully argued that ShowBiz was imitating his unique concepts.<a href="#cite_note-Ultimate_chp15-19">[18]</a> The ruling forced Brock to pay Bushnell a percentage of annual revenues from the first 160 locations he opened.<a href="#cite_note-Ultimate_chp15-19">[18]</a> Topeka Inn Management later changed its name to Brock Hotel Corporation, and in 1982 moved its headquarters to <a href="/wiki/Irving,_Texas" title="Irving, Texas">Irving, Texas</a>.<a href="#cite_note-brock-13">[12]</a> Both restaurants experienced increased success as the video game industry became more robust.<a href="#cite_note-brock-13">[12]</a> To maintain competition, both franchises continually modified and diversified their animatronic shows. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Decline,_bankruptcy,_and_merger">Decline, bankruptcy, and merger</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Chuck_E._Cheese&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Decline, bankruptcy, and merger">edit</a>]</div> Pizza Time Theatre went public in 1981.<a href="#cite_note-brock-13">[12]</a> Unlike ShowBiz, Pizza Time focused less on food quality, which was being offered at premium prices.<a href="#cite_note-Ultimate_chp15-19">[18]</a> The company placed more attention on the video game aspect of the business, but the popularity of arcades was beginning to decline in the United States.<a href="#cite_note-Ultimate_chp15-19">[18]</a> As a result, Chuck E.

Following the discontinuation of MMBB shows, the Studio C series of stages continued to evolve, starting with the Small-Town Studio C 2000 in early 2000, the "Studio C 2000" in late 2000, and the Small-Town Studio C 2003 in July 2003. The last new Chuck E.

Cheese's, and this idea became the "Star Stage". The Star Stage debuted in April 2010 as a test stage at the new Valley View Mall/Montfort Drive location in <a href="/wiki/Dallas" title="Dallas">Dallas, Texas</a>, replacing their Studio C 2000 stage. The Montfort Drive location's Star Stage reused the 32-movement Chuck E.

Chuck E.'s stage and the "APPLAUSE" and "ON THE AIR" signs were recycled from Montfort Drive's Studio C 2000 stage. The stage curtains would be removed by late April 2010 and side video walls would be replaced with flatscreen TVs in early 2012. Former CEC entertainment director Jeremy Blaido ordered for the show be removed in 2012 due to internal controversy with new entertainment director Robert Gotcher at the time, leading to Gotcher being fired that year. The Star Stage at the Dallas, Texas Chuck E. Cheese's location ended up being removed in August 2012 after over 2 years in operation. In September 2010, a new stage titled the "Chuck E.'s Make Believe Band" stage (also known as Concept Unification 1-Stage by fans) was tested at the <a href="/wiki/Whitehall_Township,_Pennsylvania" title="Whitehall Township, Pennsylvania">Whitehall, Pennsylvania</a> location. It reused the Concept Unification animatronics from the 3-Stage and put them all together on a single stage with new backdrops. On this show, Munch's Make Believe Band would be renamed to Chuck E.'s Make Believe Band, likely as an attempt to make Chuck E. Cheese more of the star. 2 more CU 1-Stage shows would be installed at the <a href="/wiki/Springfield,_Illinois" title="Springfield, Illinois">Springfield, Illinois</a> and <a href="/wiki/Columbus,_Georgia" title="Columbus, Georgia">Columbus, Georgia</a> locations in 2011 before it was retired. The Chuck E.'s Make Believe Band stage is Chuck E. Cheese's latest stage featuring the full band to date. On April 26, 2011, a new test stage titled the "Galaxy Stage" debuted at the new Chuck E. Cheese's location in <a href="/wiki/West_Melbourne,_Florida" title="West Melbourne, Florida">West Melbourne, Florida</a>. The Galaxy Stage was themed around a futuristic city, and was the first stage not to use the Studio C name. It did not expand beyond its test location, and was removed in April 2023 during the West Melbourne location's 2.0 remodel renovations. Following the removal the <a href="/wiki/Dallas" title="Dallas">Dallas, Texas</a> (Montfort Drive) location's Star Stage in August 2012, a new stage premiered at that location, referred to as "Circles of Light", utilizing the animatronic Chuck E.

The stages were manufactured by Corman & Associates and the control system for the new stage type was produced by Weigl Controls, developing a custom version of their ProCommander series of controllers for CEC.<a href="#cite_note-93">[92]</a> In July 2020, the <a href="/wiki/Darien,_Illinois" title="Darien, Illinois">Darien, Illinois</a> location replaced their 3-Stage animatronics and props with the Studio C 2000 backdrops and 16-movement animatronic from the <a href="/wiki/Joliet,_Illinois" title="Joliet, Illinois">Joliet, Illinois</a> location which had remodeled in early 2020. Another installation of this unique stage would be installed in November 2020 at the <a href="/wiki/Chicago" title="Chicago">Chicago, Illinois</a> location on <a href="/wiki/Kedzie_Avenue" title="Kedzie Avenue">Kedzie Avenue</a>. The Darien location would remove their stage during their remodel in June 2023, and the Chicago (Kedzie) location would remodel and remove their stage in August 2024. For stores still featuring animatronics, updated programs for Munch’s Make Believe Band stages were generally distributed on DVD between 2007 and 2022. Studio ‘C’ stores ran off of 3 DVDs and a <a href="/wiki/Floppy_disk" title="Floppy disk">floppy disk</a> from 1999 to 2022, previously having used <a href="/wiki/LaserDisc" title="LaserDisc">LaserDisc</a>. Weigl (Circles of Light stages and Dance Floors) stores use a USB and a MicroSD card. In mid-2022, a new system for running the animatronic shows (3-Stage, Cyberamics, and all Studio ‘C’ and Weigl shows) was introduced that would, instead of using physical media such as <a href="/wiki/DVD" title="DVD">DVDs</a>, function using the store's Wi-Fi connection. The implementation of said device caused a problem for the Studio C shows, as their previous show system(s) had special file formats for programming signals; therefore the switch to the new system would cause no animatronic movements to happen, except for a "Random Movements" program. The Munch's Make Believe Band stages (CEI and Cyberamics shows) were not affected by this change of systems, although programming of new songs would cease in 2023 due to budget cuts.<a href="#cite_note-94">[93]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Elimination_of_animatronics">Elimination of animatronics</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Chuck_E._Cheese&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: Elimination of animatronics">edit</a>]</div> In 2002, Chuck E. Cheese's opened three locations, two in <a href="/wiki/Waco,_Texas" title="Waco, Texas">Waco</a> and <a href="/wiki/Lake_Jackson,_Texas" title="Lake Jackson, Texas">Lake Jackson, Texas</a>, and one in <a href="/wiki/Dover,_Delaware" title="Dover, Delaware">Dover, Delaware</a>, experimenting with a new type of format featuring a smaller layout, a buffet, no play structures, no animatronic stage (albeit featuring a "blue screen" from the Studio 'C' stages), and a constant presence of the Chuck E. Cheese costumed character. All three "Chuck E. Cheese's Buffet" locations would remodel to standard Chuck E. Cheese's and receive "Small-Town Studio 'C'" stages with an animatronic between 2003 and 2006.<a href="#cite_note-95">[94]</a> In September 2012, The "Circles of Light" stage at the Montfort Drive location in Dallas, Texas removed their animatronic, initially using the stage platform for costumed character performances. Beginning in early 2013, Circles of Light stages began being installed in newly opened stores without an animatronic, although a few Circles of Light stores would open with an animatronic from 2012 to 2018. In 2014, the Montfort Drive location would test a prototype of the "Chuck E. Live Stage" in their gameroom. In August 2013, the newly opened <a href="/wiki/Montgomery,_Alabama" title="Montgomery, Alabama">Montgomery, Alabama</a> location was the first Chuck E. Cheese's in 11 years to open without any animatronics, as it opened with a Circles of Light stage with no Chuck E. animatronic. Circles of Light would also replace 4 older animatronic stages in CEC locations between March 2014 and September 2017. The first being a 3-Stage in <a href="/wiki/San_Antonio,_Texas" class="mw-redirect" title="San Antonio, Texas">San Antonio, Texas</a> in March 2014, a 1-Stage in <a href="/wiki/Rohnert_Park,_California" title="Rohnert Park, California">Rohnert Park, California</a> between late 2014 and early 2015, another 3-Stage in <a href="/wiki/Matteson,_Illinois" title="Matteson, Illinois">Matteson, Illinois</a> in February 2015, and another 3-Stage in <a href="/wiki/Wilmington,_Delaware" title="Wilmington, Delaware">Wilmington, Delaware</a> in September 2017. The last existing Chuck E. Cheese's location to receive a COL stage was in <a href="/wiki/San_Jose,_California" title="San Jose, California">San Jose, California</a> in December 2018, while the last new location to receive a COL stage was in <a href="/wiki/Port_of_Spain" title="Port of Spain">Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago</a> in February 2023. By May 2015, the "Chuck E. Live Stage," also known as "Stage V2" or commonly referred to as the "Dance Floor," which featured no animatronics at all, a modernized dance floor, and performances only with costumed characters, had been created. In 2017, the chain announced that animatronic shows would be removed entirely in favor of this design in seven pilot locations.<a href="#cite_note-AnimatronicRemoval-96">[95]</a> After the pilot locations showed promise, retirement of animatronics at Chuck E. Cheese locations accelerated and continued through 2019, by which time 80 of its stores were expected to be retrofitted to the new design.<a href="#cite_note-97">[96]</a><a href="#cite_note-98">[97]</a> However, in November 2023, the company announced one location in <a href="/wiki/Northridge,_Los_Angeles" title="Northridge, Los Angeles">Northridge, California</a> as the first "legacy and new" store location that would keep their animatronic stage, which is a 2-Stage Cyberamics show. The grand reopening for this store after the remodel was held on November 10 with Nolan Bushnell attending.<a href="#cite_note-99">[98]</a> They would go back on this stance in May 2024 with a New York Times article announcing a location in <a href="/wiki/Nanuet,_New_York" title="Nanuet, New York">Nanuet, New York</a> as the second "legacy and new" store. Nanuet has a Studio 'C' 2000, 16M stage. The grand reopening was held on July 18.<a href="#cite_note-100">[99]</a> In May 2024, the animatronic shows were reported to have been set to be phased out by the end of 2024, with all but two venues discontinuing their performances, the Northridge, California and Nanuet, New York locations. The decision aligned with Chuck E. Cheese's strategic transformation towards modernization since 2020, including the introduction of digital entertainment features such as screens, digital dance floors, and trampoline gym areas.<a href="#cite_note-101">[100]</a> After a negative response from the public, the company subsequently announced on May 24 that three additional locations would be keeping their animatronic stages: <a href="/wiki/Charlotte,_North_Carolina" title="Charlotte, North Carolina">Charlotte, North Carolina</a>, which has a 3-Stage; <a href="/wiki/Hicksville,_New_York" title="Hicksville, New York">Hicksville, New York</a>, which has a Cyberamics 1-Stage; and <a href="/wiki/Springfield,_Illinois" title="Springfield, Illinois">Springfield, Illinois</a>, which has a CU 1-Stage.<a href="#cite_note-102">[101]</a> Hicksville held their grand reopening on July 19, Springfield held their grand reopening on July 25, and Charlotte held their grand reopening on July 26. As of November 2024, approximately 53 locations remain with the animatronic shows and that number is expected to decline over the next year. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Characters">Characters</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Chuck_E._Cheese&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: Characters">edit</a>]</div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Chuck_E._Cheese_(character)" title="Chuck E.
