My 7-year-old daughter is fascinated by animatronics, and I couldn't resist introducing her to the Rock-afire Explosion on youtube while explaining to her how I used to watch them on stage at Showbiz pizza when I was her age. Many videos later, she hopes to one day see in person what I took for granted as a kid. :-)
@CECFlorida9 жыл бұрын
Christopher Covey That's amazing. :) Thank you, sir, for inspiring such joy and fascination in animatronics for your daughter. I have loved these characters since I was little, and they have always been a huge part of my life. I'm so glad people like you are passing the torch to a younger generation.

Mario Velasco it got taken over by chuck e cheese. But these animatronics are still active. They are in storage. Hopefully Aaron Fetcher (the lovely creator of these masterpieces) can get them on stage somewhere again. There was an explosion in the storage area. It melted a lot of the masks sitting about. Even the moon rocker's stage (another creation) was ruined. All the wires that control the animatronics were blown to pieces. Thank you for reading this long reply.

Rolfe is and will always be my favorite. I love how he's just a cute furry goofball I guess. Yesterday, when I went to my first CEC 3-Stage finally after 11 years of begging, I got special permission from the manager to hug the Chuck E animatronic. I hugged him with all my heart and it made me feel as though I was actually hugging Rolfe rather than Chuck E. Every time I looked at them then closed my eyes I would see the Rock-afire Explosion. It was even more amazing than I ever dreamed! It was so amazing! Let's just say I wish I could go back and hug the Chuck E again because it made me so happy. It was just a magical feeling I don't know how to describe. Oddly enough, it made me want to see the originals before concept Unification even more. While I was there my brother and I kept accidentally calling them all by their original names. For example: I kept calling "Chuck E." Rolfe and I kept calling "PizzaCam" Looney Bird. I was so happy until the manager said they are considering tearing it down and putting up a Studio C Beta Stage. P. S. Before anyone asks, yes I went to the Wilmington NC location.

The rockafire explosion seems cooler than Chuck E Cheese by a long shot. In my opinion, I feel the rockafire explosion was A LOT more innovative and original with its animatronic characters. They had an animatronic who technically had a hand puppet but it spoke on it's own, and their characters in general, like what they were was great. I mean... a gorilla? That's pretty damn cool. As well as a wolf. The only other animatronic band that I've barely seen footage of that's that original with characters is the circus play house band.
