[@superstar3900]

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. :-)

[@CECFlorida]

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.

[@Lubluues]

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.

[@creeblaze5698]

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.

[@Duckkis]

I have stumbled upon The Rock-afire way too late. We didn't have any notable animatronic pizza places in Finland. Animatronics have been a huge thing to me during the recent years though. And, whichever video it was that I first heard about the band from, I'm so glad I watched it. My front page is full of Rock-afire by now and I love it.

[@CECFlorida]

LOL! I'm laughing so hard at your comment! Yes, Rolfe's right arm had a small leak, and I will be posting the inspection and diagnostics soon! We looked at his mac valve, air feeder, and the cylinders inside his shoulder. His performance was still fantastic, though!

[@bobbluh2650]

I'm thinking that it was for the eve of distruction green screen effect, since Earl is weating the same Rock'n Roll costume. I could be wrong though. Sin

[@BIGALrz053]

Bob bluh Yeah, that makes sense. Seems a fair bit light for the green screen effect, but if the color was uniform I guess it shouldn't matter! I'm an animatronics buff, not a special effects buff anyway XD

[@bobbluh2650]

By my understanding, as long as the two shades match, and you set the program to that shade, it should work with any green! :) And yes for animatronics buffs! There are at least two here.

[@CECFlorida]

Bob bluh Yes, that may be the case. Either that, or it was placed there to temporarily stop the air leak in his right arm.
