List of Concept Revision Installation Tapes (Cheesyverse)

These videos were meant to help cast members at Chuck E. Cheese's/other FEC locations convert into "Showbiz" stores. There were two videos created: one for Chuck E. Cheese's stores with either a Concept Unification 3-Stage or 1-Stage, and another for other FEC's that featured a Rock-afire Explosion 3-Stage, or any other show featuring the characters.
== Soundtrack ==
Both versions have the same soundtrack
* Port of Mystery- Yanni
* Galadriel- Spyro Gyra
* River Song- Dave Grusin, Don Grusin
* The Illusionist- Patrick O'Hearn
== Version 1 (Chuck E. Cheese's Locations) ==
Welcome to the Concept Revision Installation Video. This is a visual guide that will help you retrofit your Chuck E. Cheese Concept Unification animatronics into our new Rock-afire Explosion characters. While the conversion is happening, make sure to play the "CEC TV Memories" show tape. This only includes the Chuck E. Cheese character, so make sure Chuck E.'s in the best condition possible. It will also give you time to fix any problems with the show, and should be played the Wednesday before the Sunday of installation. This only includes locations with the 3-Stage setup, though, so all Concept Unification 1-Stage shows will need all characters turned off before the installation begins, but the show tape still needs to be played. Next, order the necessary characters needed for a full show from Creative Engineering, so please Email them when you receive this video. Then, copy down these timestamps, as it will make your life a whole lot easier so you don't have to watch things that don't apply to your store.
=== Removal of Props ===
Next, you will need to remove all props such as: Pizzacam's box and Munch Jr.'s can. This depends on your store. These will be sold at auction, so please store them somewhere safe. At this point, you should unbolt and remove Munch's keyboard off the stage to make the process of retrofitting Munch's mech much easier. Please keep this item, as it will be used again.
=== Disconnection of the Airlines ===
Now, you should disconnect the main airlines that feed the characters from the quick connectors from the oilers from both center stage and stage left. This only applies for the 3-Stage system, as Concept Unification 1-Stages have to do this for all of the characters.
=== Removal of Cosmetics, Part 1 ===
Now, remove all of the cosmetics of the characters, starting with Pasqually: Start with his hat, then bandana and apron, shirt, pants, hands and drumsticks, and you should hold onto the drumsticks as they will be used later. Then remove the mask, feet, which need to be unbolted, and the the colored tarp below the platform, making sure to removal all of it's remains.
Now, let's move onto Munch Jr. If your store does not have this character, please skip this section. First his hat, then mask, then unbolt the bottom half assembly.
Next, we will do munch. First, remove his body fur, hands, mask, leg fur, and feet.
Now Jasper. Starting with his overall straps, shirt, hands, hat, mask, pants, feet, and then the can base.
Now Helen. Starting with her shirt, feather pigtails, not he levers, mask, hands, skirt, and foam leg pieces.
And finally Pizzacam. Again, if your store does not have this character, please skip this section. Remove his mask, and square camera housing.
=== Removing Mac Valves/Unbolting From Stage, Part 1 ===
You may need to start on both stages for efficiency, but for the purposes of this video, we will start with stage left.
First is Pasqually. Measure all placement of props on Pasqually's platform, and remove all props. Do not remove Pasqually. Then remove carpet. Then, using the airline quick disconnect, disconnect the airline that feeds the oiler on the back of Pasqually's platform and the computer line. Unbolt his mac valve quick disconnect and push up through the stage. Make sure to cover the quick disconnect with a piece of plastic or a plastic bag to keep dust from getting into the airlines. If you bag off all parts that come off in order, it will make your life a whole lot easier once it is time for reassembly. Remove the carpet from Pasqually's base and unbolt from the stage. Now, disconnect the computer line from Pasqually's mac valve. Remove Pasqually's mac valve from the stage. Next, move Pasqually's stage from stage left to center stage and position as shown in the diagram, so that the back corner from center line is 12-inches from center line, and the other back corner is 18 ½ inches from the wall.
Follow the same procedure for Pizzacam if you have him. If you don't, then please skip this part of the video. Do the procedure by unbolting the mac valve disconnect and pushing up through the stage, making sure to cover them with plastic. Then, unbolt the character mech, and remove from stage. And finally, unplug the Hand airline, and connect a new airline to it.
Now your characters should be off of the stage. First, unplug the floor lights and remove. Next, remove the brick backdrop from the stage, making sure to leave the 2x4 header in place. Now, remove all carpet from stage left and clean off the stage. Then, mark the center line so you can have a reference on where to put the trapdoor. Now, cut a trapdoor six inches in front of where you marked for Billy Bob as per the diagram, making sure to cut in between two studs in the floor. Next, cut two 2x4 braces for the trapdoor, and screw into place. And then finally put hinges on the trapdoor. Do this process for every character that has been purchased from Creative Engineering, as well as Billy Bob's campfire. Next, add the new carpet, and cut the pre-existing Pizzacam trapdoor if you have him in your store. Next, using the center line, you should install the canvas backdrop.
Now, moving to center stage, remove the airlines from Munch Jr., unbolt, and remove from the stage. Again, this doesn't apply to all stores. As for Helen, unbolt the mac valve quick disconnect, and push up through the stage. Unbolt the character, and remove from the stage. Disconnect the computer line from the mac valve, and remove Helen's mac valve. Unbolt Munch's mac valve quick disconnect, push up through the stage, then unbolt and remove Munch from the stage. Next is Jasper. Unbolt the mac valve quick disconnect and push up through the stage, unbolt character and remove from stage.
=== Reinstallation/Decoration, Part 1 ===
Next, add the grass to Pasqually's former platform. It will now be Dook's platform. Replace all of the props with the measurements you took earlier, and using finishing nails, nail the tree bark to Dook's platform. Now, place Billy Bob's mech onto stage left, as per the measurements in the manual. Do the same with Pizzacam's mech, which is now Looney's.
Now back to center stage, unplug and remove all floor lights. Unbolt and remove all of the building backdrops. If you do not have either the Mr. Building or the Mr. Moon mechs, you may skip this part of the video. Now, remove the building mask, then disconnect the airlines, unbolt, and remove mech from the stage. For Mr. Moon, just disconnect the airlines, unbolt, and remove mech from the stage. Finally, the sign. Unplug the power cord and computer line, then unbolt and remove the sign from the stage. Next, screw on the clouds to the ceiling of center stage. Now disconnect the airlines to the Wink mech, unbolt, and remove the mech. Finally, remove the fiberoptic curtain from center stage, leaving the 2x4 header in place, remove carpet, and clean stage.
Next, measure and mark the center line for center stage. Next, install the canvas backdrop as per the manual. Put the grass on center stage, making sure to cut it making it to where when it's open, the grass should be on top. Next, reinstall the Mr. Moon mech as per the diagram in the manual. Next, install the trees, according to the center line on center stage, and screw onto the floor. Now, reinstall the old Mr. Building mech, which is now the Sun mech, as per the manual, and bolt to the floor. Reinstall the sign, as per the manual, and bolt to the floor. Install the Sun face on the Sun mech. Unbolt the old sign face and install the new sign face, putting the old sign face in storage for auction. Also, plug power and computer line in for sign. Install both tree lines, as per the manual, and screw to the floor. Install all floor lights for center stage, and aim according to the manual.
We will now start putting characters back onto center stage, starting with Beach Bear, position him as per the manual, and bolt down. cut a 2-inch hole behind his mech for airlines, push the quick disconnect through the 2-inch hole, and put the base together according to the manual. Now Fatz. Position Fatz according to the measurements and bolt down. Cut a 2-inch hole behind his left foot for airlines, and push the quick disconnect through the 2-inch hole. Follow the same procedure for Mitzi, positioning her according to the measurements and bolt down. Cut a 2-inch hole behind her left foot for airlines, push the quick disconnect through the two inch hole, and then put her mac valve back under stage. And finally Choo-choo, which was the old Munch Jr. mech. Position as according to the diagram, and bolt down. Now the organ, position according to the measurements and bolt down. Cut a 2-inch hole behind the left leg for power and computer lines.
Now, moving to stage left, install the canvas backdrop on the 2x4 header. Next, install Billy Bob's campfire. An now, install the lights according to the manual. Then, install the Smitty's Super Service Station prop, which will hide the lights. Now reconnect all quick disconnects, all computer lines and airlines for both center stage and stage left. Billy Bob uses Pasqually's old computer line, and Dook will use the old Helen computer line. Next, hook up Antioch, and hook up the airline to the old wink airline.
=== Cosmetics, Part 1 ===
Now we will start putting cosmetics back on the characters. Billy Bob will be excluded, and how he is done is in the manual. First will be Looney Bird, starting with his fiberglass shell, mask, and can.
Next will be Dook, starting with the tree bark, then feet, which need to be bolted, ears and ear levers, mask, sleeves, gloves, cuffs and drumsticks, pants, black vinyl torso, belt, collar, and vest, and then his hat.
Next is Beach Bear. Now the first thing you'll want to do is to exchange the eyes that are in Chuck E. to the eyes that are in Beach Bear, so that Beach Bear will have blue eyes, and Rolfe will have brown eyes. First will be the tree stump, then his feet, leg fur, mask, hands, upper body fur, and his shorts and guitar strap.
Next, exchange the old organ front for the new organ front, making sure to store the organ front for auction.

Now, this should be done on Chuck E.'s stage, which should happen on the last night of installation. Please prepare for this night, as it is going to be a long one, and everything should be working by the grand re-opening in the morning. For Chuck E., you first need to remove his hands and ears, mask and hat, shirt, bottom half fur, pants, feet, and then base.

Adjust the high end of the dual pressure regulator down to 70 pounds. And finally, VCR adjust the show to get the correct character movements.
=== Finished ===
The overall positions and looks of your stages should look like these freezeframes.
=== Concept Unification 1-Stages ===
For Concept Unification 1-Stages, more work is required. You will need to use the manual for this, as it will take longer than the standard 3-Stage installation.
== Video 2 (Other FEC's) ==
Welcome to the Concept Revision installation tape. This is for your Rock-afire Explosion stages, to make sure that they are in line with all of our other locations. Now, copy down these timestamps, as they will show at what time your show will appear, and what you will need to do with it. Other things are in the manual, so please also observe that. Also, make sure your characters are in the best working condition. If they are not in the best working condition, then please repair them, or order replacements from Creative Engineering.
=== Rock-afire Explosion 3-Stage ===
For your Rock-afire 3-Stage, please observe these freezeframes. These are where your characters should be located on the stage, and how they should look like. Now pause and observe your stage. If your show does not look like this, then refer to the manual on where to put the characters, as well as where to get replacement cosmetics.
=== Rock-afire Explosion Mini Stage ===
For a Rock-afire Mini Stage, please look at this freezeframe of how it should appear, then pause and look at your show. If it does not look like this, then refer to the manual for guidance.
=== The New Rock-afire Explosion ===
The New Rock-afire stage is different to the rest, as it uses different mechs and technology than the other stages. Here are some freezeframes of how the characters are supposed to appear on stage. Now on center stage, if the characters are moved, then that's ok, as that is how it is supposed to appear. Now, please observe your show. Refer to the manual if it does not look like this.
=== Problems ===
Now, if there are any problems beyond the cosmetics, you may need to either buy spare parts, or you'll need to buy a whole new character completely. All of these are supplied by Creative Engineering. If you need to remove anything, please store them for auction, or send them back to the manufacturer.
=== Usage of the Show ===
Now, you should have received the "Showbiz Introduction" show tape. Please do not play this until your location has completely renovated. Also, please do not play any shows at this point, as you should start repairing or moving any character mechs you can, as the show must be in perfect condition for the grand reopening.
=== Installation of the TV/Show Controller ===
Now, you should have time to install both the big screen tv and the new show controller. If your store already has a complete tv, then you may skip part of this section. The new show controller is DVD based, and should be installed early on. Please do not use any unofficial show controllers. If you have an old or unofficial show controller, please store it for auction. If you want to order the show selector and it's accompanying show tape, pleas contact Creative Engineering for this.
=== End of Installation ===
Now, we will show you again how your stages should look like at this point. We will go from the 3-Stage, to the Mini Stage, and then finally, the New Rock-afire stage. If your shows do not look like this, you must contact Creative Engineering.
