Scarlett Sweetdotter same! i was born in 2004 and i want nothing more than to see these amazing characters in action-but the only place i could possibly see a good, well-maintained show is at the CEI building in flordia, and i don't have the money for it :/
Fun fact: due to the fact that the animatronics were scraped many of the skins of the animatronics can be seen in the haunted house at the ghost train in tweetsie railroad.
I’ve been a fan of showbiz for years (despite being too young to have ever been able to see them...) and I’ve been visiting tweetsie for as long as I can remember, because my sister used to work there and my papaw did as well, (my moms family is from Boone) thank you for posting this! My mom had told me about showbiz being at tweetsie but it’s really cool to actually get to see it!
Yup im old lol -.- remember seein this as a kid at about 7 years old im 25 now. Im goin back this year to relive old times. Wonder what ever happened to this
Funny to see this again. I operated a candle shop next to this show back in 1994. I think that was the first year. Hearing this show day in and day out several times a day drove me crazy. Cool to see this video though. Wonder where this show went after Tweetsie did away with it?
Thanks for the info, I added it to the description. I've also wondered where these guy are now. TRR took really good care of them and the last year I saw them they where still in good shape.
Looney Bird CEC when I was there in '94, the black curtain wasn't there, and you could see in a window behind them where a shop was on the other side of the wall
I know this answer is 9 years late, but here you go. In the footage from the left, Billy bob has the “heavy eyebrows/90s version of his mask, and it was changed out afterwards in favor of his usual mask. (As shown in the footage from the right). And this was done because the “heavy eyebrows/90s” Billy bob mask was sculpted with a defect, as the mouth was very shallow, and the mask tore very quickly, hence, its replacement.
AACrashBurnAA I think Aaron Fletcher created the program though, as when the deal at showbiz fell apart he started doing contracts at theme parks, and these sound like the original musicians
Hunter VS Here you go. Have fun remixing or whatever you want to do with these. There's also a link to a 3rd video I found that was recorded by someone else that has no sound and is pretty shaky but it has a few good closeups in it.

Theres a gift shop behind that stage (or was) so i got my genuinely creeped out kid vibes looking through a door in the gift shop at them freezing like dead corpses every time the curtain closed. oh the memories!
It showed at tweetsie railroad (an amusement park) awhile back in the early 2000’s and I guess it wasn’t popular enough so they shut it down. They have weeks where characters visit (people in costumes such as Dora and spongebob) and I’m guessing it was maybe like that??
tweetsie railroad is still open, and you can still go inside the building where the show played. they also still have the show, but it's in storage. they use billy bob and Mitzi for props in the haunted house, which is actually in the building where the show played

Never understood why this show was at Tweetsie first time I saw this video. #12 and these guys have 1 thing in common: they're vintage. Although #12 is older. Wonder if they still have the animatronics. It could be easily repurposed as props for the Ghost Train?
I’m guessing it was there for younger kids, kinda like how they’ve started being people in costumes these past few years. But they would be great for ghost train lol
mini stages are a fun thing ain't they? this is a varation of the classic show (For some reason Showbiz gave the smaller stores a very VERY toned down version of the show with only 4 of the 8 characters.....it failed horribly and it was kind of forgotten kind of not and kind of resurfaced in the 90s in some indapendt chains kind of)
I was there in 1994 possibly earlier so I know it was running then, I remember that song elvira, so it must had carried mainly the same program throughout it being there
On the left and right angle, they look like complete ly different animatronics, example is Mitzi. 7:45 in the right, she has tounge and her mask is kinda messed up, and Fatz.... 3:43 in the right, his jaw is barely moving and something is wrong with his eyes, And in the RIGHT 3:48 his eyes is fine and his jaw is perfectly fine.
Yeah. I think over time her mask hardened and the snaps on the sides of her mask that attach it to the fiberglass skull tore off, thus giving the mask no support, save for the fur thats glued on holding it there and where its attatched to her mouth clevis.

it's so cute that the kids waved goodbye when the curtains closed
For them to open again seconds later.! I love automatic curtains theyre the best
Without the pop-poms, Mitzi's movements look incredibly life-like.
agreed.
Lyndsey Davis I think that Mitzi has a custom mech
ruined, of course, by the mask that isn't on right
@@pickelsandnickels2487 no
Xan_Plays thx for the correction
Did anyone else think it was really cute at the end of desperado when the curtains slowly closed on Mitzi and all the kids waved goodbye
I can only imagine how sad of a day it must have been when it was the final day they played.
This show is my childhood, this is when my love for Animatronics began, I literally still remember the words
wait you saw them at tweetsie?
@@showbizgreensboro8956 no, I just watched this video when I was little!!
@@lpscokeking2633Same dude!!!
:/ What have I missed? Being born in 2005 has ruined my life, WHY WASN'T I ALIVE DURING THIS IT'S SO AMAZING

Kaya Demaria you guys are making me feel old lol
lmao you were born the year this was taken out i believe
I love how enthralled the kids are.
Fun fact: due to the fact that the animatronics were scraped many of the skins of the animatronics can be seen in the haunted house at the ghost train in tweetsie railroad.
Do you have any pictures of this or know where I could find pictures?
@@DanielLeeMeeks yes. There is only pictures of Mitzi but I'll Post it on my channel
That is true, buddy.
@@showbizgreensboro8956 So is Billy bob, there is (sort of) newly found fottage!
@@showbizgreensboro8956do you have photo?😊
This video shows how advanced Aarons animatronics were, very well programmed.
And he never got to become wealthy off of his products what a shame
Aww, all those kids waving goodbye to Mitzi, Billy Bob, Fatz and Looney.... :')
Love the rendition of "Desperado."
Oh my GOD I found that crazy song again!!!! My mom took us there 2 years before she died. OMG omg omg I'm WOW thanks
Brittain Media that’s sad

Daniel Meeks robotsandgames.com
Brian Finney I can tell you they're the bear a dice now torn up and broken Aaron fecter has them and he is fixing them
Brian Finney are these guys really the bear a dice animatronics?
Sebastian Steele and also Chuck e cheeses' animatronics
I luv Mitzi’s outfit here!
Damn... The fact that those kids are all adults now... Why does time go by so fast?
Shame that Mitzi was just left to rot in the tweetsie railroad haunted house... never to perform again.
+Daniel Meeks I've found an easter egg. :)
SPOILER:
At some angles the "Hootenanny Hoedown" sign is there. And at others it is not....
Well, this is footage of both times, they added the sign in 2000. That's why it's there and then it's not.
Oh, ok
+Showbiz CEC I believe the sign was outside the Pavilion before it was moved to the stage.
Looney Bird CEC when I was there in '94, the black curtain wasn't there, and you could see in a window behind them where a shop was on the other side of the wall
Looney Bird CEC I Knew That
I love there outfits!
Great video!
It's weird that when the song ends, it doesn't even pause right after the song ends, It will just play the next song.
I notic d in the 1999 footage on the left side that Billy Bob's mask loos alittle messed up
It is melted badly yes, you can clearly see it's all deformed. Probably they replaced it in the time frame between the two recordings.
@@ran-sama2519 your wrong, both these recordings are in completely different years. So they didn’t just replace it between frames lol
4:43 what happened to billy bobs mask?
@Garbage Guy yeah the 3 places i think they had were adventure landing, tweetsie railroad (this show), and club hotel eilat in israel
Is it just me, or the video from far left have Billy Bob's 'heavy eyebrows' mask, and from center he has his normal mask?
***** I noticed that too. Mitzi's mask changes too, and Fatz' jaw mobility changes also.
I know this answer is 9 years late, but here you go. In the footage from the left, Billy bob has the “heavy eyebrows/90s version of his mask, and it was changed out afterwards in favor of his usual mask. (As shown in the footage from the right). And this was done because the “heavy eyebrows/90s” Billy bob mask was sculpted with a defect, as the mouth was very shallow, and the mask tore very quickly, hence, its replacement.
i dont like how mitzis mask is so....pull and tuggy
Same
TheTinyGoatGirl57 looks like a scary clown character from a haunted abandoned circus
Have you noticed here eyebrows are as thick as a forest with a forest on top of it
No she's fine but just her eyes are creepy
Also why does fatz look so broken and dusty
Interesting... And Official Voices Too.
Mitzi is cute
My four fav RAE songs all in one?!? I never knew these songs were connected. But hey!
This is cool! Shame... another RAE show that is gone now.... :(
Even though it was modified.
AACrashBurnAA Modified to what?
To what you see in the video. That's not an original RAE show program.
But now this place is gone completely apparently....
Sebastian Steele THE HOOOTENANY HOEDOWN Y'ALL! Well at least thanks to tweetsie, I got to see it before chucky mutilated it
AACrashBurnAA I think Aaron Fletcher created the program though, as when the deal at showbiz fell apart he started doing contracts at theme parks, and these sound like the original musicians
AACrashBurnAA the amusement park is still around, they just stoped showing showbiz :(
there any chance you could upload both the raw, unedited videos?

thank you, my friend.
Hello, would it be ok for me to use this video footage for one of my videos? I would give you credit in the description. Thanks!
Sure you can use this in one of your videos. Look in the description and you will find the unedited videos of both camera angles you can use to.
Great vid!!! Also, could I dub the audio from "Desperado" on your vid? I would like to mabye animate it.
Looney Bird CEC Yes, have fun with it.
Thanks so much ;)
I wish i was born in the 1900s so I could see this show
u mean the 90's
you mean 80s ;)
Amanda Harris you can still see them there still active
I really wish they kept this 😢
Billy Bob is cute
Theres a gift shop behind that stage (or was) so i got my genuinely creeped out kid vibes looking through a door in the gift shop at them freezing like dead corpses every time the curtain closed. oh the memories!
Is this closed?
What happened to it?
Showbiz Pizza Central yeah it closed it 2001 I think
It showed at tweetsie railroad (an amusement park) awhile back in the early 2000’s and I guess it wasn’t popular enough so they shut it down. They have weeks where characters visit (people in costumes such as Dora and spongebob) and I’m guessing it was maybe like that??
It remains open to this day, they just ripped the show out.
tweetsie railroad is still open, and you can still go inside the building where the show played. they also still have the show, but it's in storage. they use billy bob and Mitzi for props in the haunted house, which is actually in the building where the show played
What do they do with all these animatronics?
kill them after
Sell Them Or Scrap Them
they still have the characters, but they aren't used anymore except for props in the haunted house at ghost train
@@showbizgreensboro8956do you have photo?
REALLY THERE KIDS AT THIS STAGE BUT NOW NOT AT THE CHUCK E CHEESE STAGES WOW
Why'd you turn comments off?

I think something is wrong with fatz’s mouth cylinder in the 2000 footage
What happened to birthday bird lol he's pretty broken.
Showbiz CEC yeah lie, you said the videos are from different time mixed together. In the older shots you see birthday bird standing up
Love me some Rock A-Fire!
Can I use the swinging song for better audio?
What happened to this show
I think they gave it back to Aaron at CEI
they just took it off the stage. they still have the characters in storage
What’s wrong with the 2000s bday bird?
Never understood why this show was at Tweetsie first time I saw this video. #12 and these guys have 1 thing in common: they're vintage. Although #12 is older. Wonder if they still have the animatronics. It could be easily repurposed as props for the Ghost Train?
Jonah Snyder What's #12?
one of the 2 Locomotives Tweetsie owns. the other is #190. here's a photo: www.ncpedia.org/sites/default/files/tweetsie.jpg
I’m guessing it was there for younger kids, kinda like how they’ve started being people in costumes these past few years. But they would be great for ghost train lol
BEACH BEAR WHERE YOU GOOOO?
this was a mini stage, only 4 animatronics appeared on this stage. The Characters missing are yes, Beach Bear, but also Rolfe and Earl and Dook.
Jonah Snyder and choo choo
The front of fatz piano is missing
were is dook and rolphie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????????
and beach bear tooo!!!!!!!???????
mini stages are a fun thing ain't they?
this is a varation of the classic show (For some reason Showbiz gave the smaller stores a very VERY toned down version of the show with only 4 of the 8 characters.....it failed horribly and it was kind of forgotten kind of not and kind of resurfaced in the 90s in some indapendt chains kind of)
mario555227 There were actually 11 animatronics in the full show, and there are 6 in the mini stage
that was the New Rock-a fire ;)
aww rolphe was always my fave...why they have to get rid of himz
do you have anymore videos of this show? do you know where this show is now?
they are still at tweetsie, although no longer being used. they are used as props for the Ghost train event
At some angles Fatz is like o.o and others he is like -.-
I was there in 1994 possibly earlier so I know it was running then, I remember that song elvira, so it must had carried mainly the same program throughout it being there
Trains and anmitronics???? Am I in heaven?
I'm pretty sure they gave this show back to Aaron
You again-? I saw you on a mr bass man video lol
no, they still have them.
this is rare....
all the kids in this video are 20-30 now
Can conform this is turn. :'(
Why is it in one shot Mitzi is holding her skirt but in another shot she is not
The Velcro wore out so she dropped it
these were separate shots filmed years apart.
Fatz mouth closes all the way in the 1999 footage and doesn't in the 2000 footage
love rock-afire explosion a tweetsie railroad
sue
Those guys look like they’re new
Where is this show now? Did it sold?
I heard that billy Bob and mitzi were used for a haunted train ride. No cosmetics were on them but they got rid of fatz and looney bird.
tweetsie still has the whole show apparently, but they only use billy bob and Mitzi in the haunted house at ghost train (Halloween event)
On the left and right angle, they look like complete ly different animatronics, example is Mitzi. 7:45 in the right, she has tounge and her mask is kinda messed up, and Fatz.... 3:43 in the right, his jaw is barely moving and something is wrong with his eyes,
And in the RIGHT 3:48 his eyes is fine and his jaw is perfectly fine.
i think they’re different footages just put together
Ware are they now
in the hoaunted house in october
@@rockafirefan1016 i think they trashed all of them except for mitzi
Awww :(
@@rockafirefan1016do you have photo?
If I was there, I'd be focused on the train. xD
The only song I know from this video is desperado
Good
Mitzi's mask is getting pulled down every time her mouth opens...
Yeah. I think over time her mask hardened and the snaps on the sides of her mask that attach it to the fiberglass skull tore off, thus giving the mask no support, save for the fur thats glued on holding it there and where its attatched to her mouth clevis.
I just noticed since 1999-2000 Beach bear didnt exist.
+The DerpingProfessor All characters exist since the 80s. This is just a mini stage only with 3 characters.
+Billy Bob 4* you've forgotten Looney Bird :]
What happened to it

This was located at Tweetsie Railroad between Boone and Blowing Rock, North Carolina, United States but they are not there anymore.
