Improvements.

Okay; here we go.

I noticed a lot of us want change in Chuck's, and its true. Chuck E. Cheese is not what it use to be. Whether because it is through the show, art, prizes... so, I wanted to start a topic.

If you could suggest anything, whether it be art, shows, prizes, games, what would it be?

Lets try to focus more on the appeal of the restaurant, its shows, art, and prizes, instead of the games. Chuck E. Cheese focuses a lot on its games, from all the commercials I've watched, so, lets not worry about that.

Would you like longer shows? More variety?

What kind of art should be on the walls? Should CEC invest in making new parody posters? Or what about new character paintings?

Should prizes be cheap spiders, and other useless junk, or should they try to make everything themed around Chuck and his friends?

Also, lets try to suggest more roles for Munch, Jasper, and Pasqually - Helen and Chuck E. are always on products. What can we do for the other characters? What would make them more appealing?

Thanks for sharing opinions! :>

since i don't know of anything else that cec could focus on other then merchandise. I'd like to see more plushes made of Jasper, munch, and yes even some of pasqually. heck even some, variiations of Jasper, Munch, and Pasqually tatoo's. lLike they used to have back in early 90 days. But of course with the modern image designs of them. I'd love to see more not just kid t-shirt sizes but of adult t-shirt sizes from Chuck E. Cheese's stores. with possibly sporting. one of every other CEC character on it. like of Cheerleader Helen Henny, Munch, Jasper, and Pasqually. Or a purple related more themed type CEC shirt, or sweat shirt with Chuck and the whole gang sported in there. CEC more related themed pencils wold be awesome to see again. mugs are another item which shold be remade again.:D And how about mouse pads? I had one of these from when CEC had there 20th anniversary! those were a cool item! I'm not sure if I still have it or not. that's most of what I could think of for now with Cbuck E. Cheese's merchandise stuff.:D

OF course with Chuck E. Cheese stores that still have excisting stage CEC/MMBB shows! I'd love to see either purple or green cheerleader outfit on the Helen Henny robotic characters! as for Munch, Jasper and Pasqually I think there fine just as they are!:D Oh and please have curtains reinstated to work for all exsiting CEC/MMBB stage shows! Not just for the studio C Alpha, Beta shows either! And while I'm on the subject of studio c shows. The alpha studio c show didn't have there curtains working at the long island city CEC store.

I doubt we will see any major and signifigant changes within CEC until those currently at the Company's helm step down, retire, or expire.

Have a look at the quote below in my post signature made by none other then Dick Frank himself to see what i mean......it really says it all and perfectly sums up the current attitude of the big wigs running things.

The reason for the cheaply made prizes and thinning food quality is simply for the sake of profit, and the all important bottom line. As a business, CEC needs to make money in return for it's investment...double that when you are a publically traded company and need to worry about the stockholders. So sadly i see nothing coming anytime soon along the lines of what many fans have been hoping for.

Those days are LONG gone, and although it is nice to hope for a return ( even slight) sadly i doubt it will ever happen until new leadership is running CECE.

Sad, but true... Even at the store level it's all about makin' that bonus...

[amelovesjasper]

Thats not what the post is about. Its about saying what you would like to happen.

Don't be so negative about it guys... =\

I would like to see some things stick with the concept, other things completely changed. For instance, I really think it's time to separate the restaurant into two sections again...Showroom and gameroom. Showroom would be a traditional showroom with dimming lights and the show and whatnot...and all of the dining would be in the showroom. Do you realize that if all the seating was in the showroom, people would definitely notice the show again...if in good condition, it would bring back it's prominence. Then you'd have the gameroom area. No seats in there! One of my biggest pet peeves is the fact that CEC's gamerooms get so dirty with food and people's trash. Other Family entertainment centers I've visited keep the games separate from their dining, and I never see anywhere near as much trash in their gamerooms.
I also think the restaurant needs to be more 'atmoshperic'...more in theming and cool lighting. Try using some different kinds and colors of lights...how about some pillars and different shapes and designs throughout the restaurant? This current bright toddler playplace look makes me want to puke. Artwork? Parody posters were the bomb! The current stuff is crap, and I know most of you will agree with me. I've envisioned a more expensive, but WAY cooler remodel of stores, and I think if they went more high-class with things, people's opinions of CEC would change-for the better!

The only things I really see needing change with the show is the intermissons! I like the diversity of the songs being used lately, but the intermissions drive me up the walls! How about switching over to some nice calm background music between the shows. You could even do the number countdowns. I think most people don't seem to care about the show now because they can't tell when it's on and when it's off. It's all one big mess of music...and the lack of dimming lights and curtains working is what ends up killing the show.

I would like better , more creative showtapes (like back in the 90's) and to give Chuck his old voice back from the good ol' days.

[chuckrules]

bzier I agree with you on most of this stuff. and as for the seating area in the game room. i'd have to some how disagree with you on there. When most parents/grandparents come with there kids. usually they like to sit out in the gameroom section and have a close eye on there kids/grandkids. Even though most people don't bother to pick up there own trash and dispose of it properly. And CEC TV I know excatly what your talking about with the CEC 90's showtapes. And as for Chuck's voice I have no problem with his newer mouse sounding voice. Though I believe most always everyone loves to have a blast from the past like me!:D

[CEC3066]

you know we'll never get the dimming lights back unless:

A: stores go back to using regular light bulbs
B: man figures out a way that flourescent bulbs and Dimmers can be friends

[chuckrules]

LOL excatly CEC3066.

How about releasing CEC music on CD as a prize like what Showbiz did when they released RAE music on vinyl back in the 80s.

[chuckrules]

Yeah and to think CEC had only made the awesome tune tracks on cassette tapes from 1996.
Why not have something like that again with the tune tracks also included from 2001. have like a two part CEC CD thing going on here.:D And have another Chuck E. Cheese movie also. Like with Chuck E. Cheese in the galazy 5000.:D

He deserved to get a shot in the behind from the lovely Miss HELEN HENNY!!!!!!!!!:D WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO YOU GO MY LITTLE CHICK A DEEE CHICK GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:p:D

NO CROOK SHOULD TRY TO DEEP FAT FRY HELEN HENNY AND GET AWAY WITH IT! Cause Helen Henny will show them a thing or 2. That's one smart chick if I do say so myself:P:D

I would also LOVE to see the Stage show enhanced more. Studio C doesn't do it for me. for locations that have Studio C I'd LOVE to to find some low-cost way to bring the other 4 characters into Studio C bot form yet make them as exciting to watch as the original Studio C bot Chuck is. to me that would make Strudio C cool

[chuckrules]

I agree Danny!:D
