Changes: Concept Unification Prototype

Revision as of 12:56, 30 May 2015

The Concept Unification Prototype stage is a stage format that was tested as a method of replacing The Rock-afire Explosion at 3-Stage locations with the Pizza Time Players, using a house theme for the stages. This stage was never installed in a ShowBiz Pizza Place restaurant.^[1]

Rock-afire shows would ultimately be replaced, via Concept Unification, with Munch's Make Believe Band, which retained certain elements from The Rock-afire Explosion that the company considered desirable, such as Mitzi Mozzarella's appeal to young girls, and the "band" format.^[1]

Layout

Concept Unification Prototype stage left — Stage Left

Concept Unification Prototype stage right — Stage Right, formerly center stage and stage right

Designed by Jul Kamen, the Concept Unification Prototype stage consolidated the three stages of The Rock-afire Explosion into two stages, consolidating center stage and stage right into a single stage. The stage was designed to appear like the interior of a house, which was similar to the "house" theme at existing Chuck E. Cheese stages. Pasqually was on Stage Left, while Helen Henny, Chuck E. Cheese, and Jasper who were on Stage Right. Mr. Munch appears to be absent. However, his position in the show was one of the most unique - three animatronics would allow him to travel around the two stages. ^[1]

Animatronic conversion

In this stage design, the characters were placed on different animatronics than would later be done for Munch's Make Believe Band.^[1]
