SoCalJasonland Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Does anyone remember The Rock-afire Explosion at Showbiz Pizza? I remember these as a child and sorry they are gone now. They had the best pizza restaurant animatronics ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinaalsgirl Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 There's actually a Rockafire Arcade Bar in Kansas City that opened fairly recently and features some of the original animatronics! I haven't been able to make it over there yet, but a friend has and it looks amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCalJasonland Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 Thanks for all the info. I think I like the original "Confederate Critter Show" name better. How very PC... "The origins of The Rock-afire Explosion can be traced to Tennessee. In 1977, Fechter sold his first animatronic bear to Magic World in Pigeon Forge. He subsequently created the Confederate Critter Show, a pre-Rock-afire animatronic band, for the East Tennessee theme park. (Fechter has said that part of Billy Bob's "backstory" is that he's a country bear from Tennessee.)" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixFlagsAstroworld Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I'm actually a fan of the company who created the Rock aFire Explosion, Creative Engineering. The Rock aFire Explosion is a truly great show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
