Creative Engineering Tour

My visit to Creative Engineering, the birthplace of The Rock-afire Explosion, and workshop of creative genius Aaron Fechter.

[@michmach7367]

poor guy, he seems a good person, hope he gets what a genius deserves

[@CECFlorida]

Aaron is an awesome guy. His creative genius never stops, and he's always working on new projects. I expect his newest creation, codenamed "The Revenge of the Whack-a-Mole" to receive instant popularity and enormous success. I had the opportunity to test it, and it's fantastic.

[@fnafneil]

He has a KZbin channel I love his channel

I worked at CEC as a teen but remember Showbiz as a kid before the conversion. I love that Aaron is still so passionate about it. I hope that something new comes along that will benefit from his creations.

I'm glad you asked about the Moonrockers, cant wait to see if he gets them operational again, sucks that hole blew through their stage. Seems like the blast took alot out of him, sucks too, he seems like a great guy.

[@jeremylaramore6399]

I would LOVE to see second gen Dook, and second gen Mitzi working in action when they are done. Hopefully!

[@CECFlorida]

Me too! Aaron has dreams to finish them and put them up on stage with the other characters. He is currently working on a project that may boost sales for Creative, and in turn preserve the Rock-afire Explosion! Maybe then we can do that!!

[@marlenejojo1]

He sorta had made that already back in the 90's, theres a promotional tape floating around on yt somewhere. They looked a lil different...fatz was thinner so was billy, and they were all standing in a circle on this rotating stage thing, and he had ideas for karaoke with the band etc, looney bird was behind a desk with a feathered computer, dook had his own stage but didn't say much just that he wanted to go finish his lunch...and he sang some songs I thought were hilarious like billy bobs unfortunate bike ride he sings about "you took a fine time to leave me loose wheel" (instead of lucille), and another one about Mitzi needing to loose her blubber. They had so many more movements, I don't know why he wasn't able to get this sold...I thought it was all great ideas. heres a link to it if you havent seen it kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnizgIdvedWtaK8

[@Cheezburgercatz]

He brought whack a mole to America. It was made in Japan first.

[@zippymufo9765]

He didn't invent Whack A Mole 😂 That's what he claims but he has no proof. The owners deny it.

[@TherealRNOwwfpooh]

@@zippymufo9765 The owners deny it because they stole the rights from him, that's why.

[@zippymufo9765]

@@TherealRNOwwfpooh He has no proof. Even his story isn't right, because he said he was shown an existing prototype that had issues and he fixed all of them. That means he worked on someone else's invention, and doesn't give him the right to claim "invention" or ownership, and considering that he likes legally threatening fans, he would have filed a lawsuit against these people if he really had a case instead of just crying to his gullible 13 year old fans about it.

32:47 There's a dance organ manufacture Decap that did produce an actual robotic drumer. I don't much about the history behind the drummer, but I think around the early 1950's Decap built dance organs that contained life size robot musicians. The robot drummer robot I think does actually play the drums even with just two drum sticks, but I'm not sure this is Araon Fechter is looking for as the movement in the Decap robots would be considered rather lifeless to the animatronics he works with.

[@ciscotheinkboi]

I really hope I get to see Aaron Fechter and his animatronics someday. I've always loved mechanical characters even before I was introduced to Five Nights at Freddy's. For example, I was fascinated by Bruce the Shark from Jaws and Pixar's Wall-E. Five Nights at Freddy's ultimately enhanced and increased my interests, especially in pizza restaurant animatronics A shame I didnt grow up with these guys. I had Chuck E Cheeses. But I really hope someday I can get to meet this guy and see his marvelous creations.
