[@TheCarpetbagger]

Yeah, I have seen some of the cool videos from personal collectors that look way better

[@braylongiles3995]

I am going to FLIP OUT if everyone keeps criticizing Billy Bob's Wonderland because they saved The Rock-Afire Explosion. Unless you want to pay or go out of the country good luck seeing a Rock-Afire Explosion. I am not a new fan and there is nothing wrong with that but I saw the show at its worst and if you ask me Billy Bob's Wonderland's show is old, runs every day, and doesn't have regulators so it is in pretty good shape. Billy Bob's Wonderland is TRYING but it is hard.

[@MondoMurderface]

I think they could have handled the situation with Aaron wanting to be paid for his repairs a little more diplomatically. Instead the owner took offense and ruined any chance of Aaron ever working with them. Be honest.. Be nice.. Befriend.. Instead the owner got in a fight with him and acted like a total ass. Ideally the blueprints and molds of the character's hands/faces should all be made public over the RPF of something. Hopefully Aaron does this in time. I feel like he would if he knew about communities like this.

I remember for my 17th birthday my friends tricked me into a surprise party at Showbiz. It was one of the last Showbiz Pizza places left. It was in 1989. Since my birthday is in July, all the songs they played were patriotic. My mind's eye still conjures up the big gorilla keyboardist singing " I'm proud to be an American " by Lee Greenwood. It was too funny and we had a grand time. I miss those animimatronic monstrosities. Now my own boys are too old to request Chuck E Cheese as a birthday venue, and there is not an animimatronic band to be found.

[@cartoonhigh9990]

Angela Adrian That’s such a lovely story. And it makes me sad that animatronic bands have become obsolete. I really wish Disney would bring back the animatronic bands since their theme parks have proved they’re capable of making astonishing robotics. Maybe take the bears from Country Bear Jamboree and put it in a Chuck E Cheese type place. Just an idea.

[@sgtpepprs3]

Im no expert but I can tell that the condition of the bots are jank. Masks are probably melted, seems like an air hose (which moves some parts like arms or hands) is leaking profusely, the eyes dont sync, etc. It would be nice to fix them up or put them in a museum of sorts (like in a glass panel view of the show) and be able to do maintainance checks frequently while being able to play to the public in a museum/exhibit sense...

[@animatronicswarehouse]

The masks are counterfeit.

[@WarningPointless]

Apparently, the reason this specific animatronic set is so disheveled is because the owner and the creator of the animatronics and the band concept, Aaron Fechter (also created Whac-A-Mole!) The owner of this location hasn't been contacting Mr. Fechter for help and maitenance as a result, though I don't know the specifics of the fight. There are so many of these shows that are still in good condition, thankfully, but they are private or in other countries (Mr. Fechter's own company has one complete band left for sale for about 10,000 dollars in perfect condition, for example!)

[@Passmethedoobiescoob]

In a weird way, I think it's kind of rad they still have the show up and running considering its condition lol. I believe the creator, Aaron Fecter went out to help restore this show a few years back, but the condition of it was worse than he thought. He also mentioned that the owners of the place weren't being very civil or cooperative... I hope they'll be able to fix it up, because it'd be a shame to see one of the last public preforming Rockafires leave, especially to see it go like this :/

I was born in 85 and my sister was born in 81. We both have pictures of all our birthday parties being at show biz pizza.

+LukaTronic You are correct. CEC used the same mechs on different stages and switched masks and costumes. I know this for a fact because I worked at Showbiz and CEC in the same building and we swapped out the entire band, stage carpet, and costumes over three nights after the store closed for the day. +Showbiz CEC You are right, this isn't the worse shape the band could be in. I heard a few bushings and Bimba air cylinders squeaking but this is common. +Bojangles True. This place keeps a legend alive.

(Imitation Chuck e Cheese) Somehow I ended up becoming the one who had to maintain and fix their Rockafire Explosion set up. I still to this day never forgot the controls. It would have a touch menu that would lead to different shows. Yet, keeping the figures in one piece was the hardest part. - Funny memory: Once when the kids were eating their food in the room with the band, the bear's jaw unhinged and almost fell off. All the kids ran out screaming. lol! I quickly screwed it back in as fast as I could but the damage was done. Poor kids.

You can watch a documentary from 2008 about their history and where they are now. I believe it details a man’s obsession with them to acquiring some of the most mint sets of these animatronics. It’s just called The Rock-afire Explosion.

[@kimteahyungspillow9667]

Omg I was freaking out when they were singing thriller for Michael Jackson I was so happy 😁 omg I was so impressed with how they worked and talked and sang and stuff omg!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@06vhammer]

Had my birthday every year at showbiz in Memphis and was terrified when Billy Bob came out to sing happy birthday to me! I got my self stuck in a metal chair some how, trying to get away from him and they had to cut me out! No bull shit. Such a great time to be alive back then.

[@CoolKid-dl2mk]

I wonder if fnf was inspired by this place

[@Cecilpedia]

[@Ten-ThousandBees]

Cool Kid volgs Nope. It was inspired by Chippers Lumber and CO.!

Cool Kid Shut up with your fnaf crap

[@SteveHarpsterDraws]

I've been to this place. As a huge fan of Show Biz pizza I made a U turn when I saw the sign for this place. It was really sad to see how bad these characters look and how much repair they need. I wish Aaron Aaron Fechter could get a chance to rebuild these characters. You should visit his place down in Florida. He seems like a really nice guy with lots of stories.

[@ninjanoh7014]

Aaron went there and tried to fix them up, but the owner named Rex treated Aaron so badly and threatened him with violence. So Aaron immediately took off and never went back there again.

[@madelyn8174]

And why don't they remake them? They would be awesome to see but I guess money would be an issue...

[@laurenkeaton9723]

I went to school at Marshall University, so I went here once. EVERYTHING is extremely outdated. I'm sure you all saw the TV. Its videos look like they were shot the mid-90's. Those kids are older than me now! Still, it's good entertainment for WV and the kids do really enjoy it.

STOP FUCKING FNAF FANS RUIN EVERYTHING SHIT

[@carnagegamer2004]

GiantBananaHoldingAGrapeFilledHotpocket STFU

[@Makaponpon]

Its physically impossible for an animatronic to go through a human's skull or skin.1) As said above,the jaws aren't strong enough 2) Most animatronic teeth are part of the mask,and most masks are made of something soft(not sure what it is)

[@Cecilpedia]

I didn't say anything like that. I just wondered if they broke down or acted weird in those years.

[@cec_ent]

billy bob and looney bird like in the best condition

[@danielmurphy4415]

This reminds me of fanf its creepy.

[@danielmurphy4415]

Five nights at freddys

[@Cecilpedia]

Scott Cawthon was based off of Billy Bob's for FNaF. The fox-coyote thing has his own stage, just like Foxy. The leader of the band is a bear.

[@Jaymarweb]

TheFangirlMusician 0990 The "fox-coyote" is actually a wolf! His name is Rolf de Wolfe and his little puppet's name is Earl.

[@fUP420babe]

when i saw cee-lo green a few years back live in vegas he had a band of animatronics like this for part of the show but they were in imaculate shape and looked great!

[@asapaints]

so sad to see these animatronics in this shape. there are better shows out there with the rock afire explosion!!

[@eliterbxgaming5005]

3:33 when you got a job as a drummer but your back hurts

[@EmmaLovesParty]

Ugh... I hate animatronics soo much. They're just so creepy to me. Their faces, actions.... They're just to much for me..

[@imp8453]

I'm A Pumpkin :u this is a horrible example to show exactly what they are

[@DanielleMarieSkyy]

I remember going to showbiz pizza in millington tn as a young child. Those animatronics used to scare the crap out of me. Happy to see them again.

[@spectresoulss]

Show Bizz Pizza was bought out by Ckuckey Chese

[@JoshDike-vk5hq]

no it is YOU who got it backwards (look it up)

[@mildredchester]

I'm a big Rockafire fan and Billy Bob's is still running this set to death. Aaron has a KZbin channel and there are still sets around in Canada, Ireland, and the US.

[@akarisatomi2339]
