i went here a few months ago, and i’m happy to tell you that the characters are in a better condition. the middle stage is closed but billy bob and rolfe look much better, even though they still can’t move as much as they used to.
This makes me really sad. :( I was too young to appreciate animatronics when they were still around but now that I’m older and fascinated with them all the animatronic restaurants are gone... and all these amazing machines are collecting dust. I wish a company would try to refurbish these machines and make a new animatronic chain. I’ve always wanted to go to one of these.
@SugarXSweet Studios Not that, The idiots who run the place don't care about them. :( (Since Braylon left last December, they haven't been touched or looked at since.) One day when they turn back to this all over again and are only pieces of metal left to rot on the floor, I hope those brainless morons will see the damage they've done and just sell them off to collectors who would be more than happy to restore them.
Something about this is just so sad..... Knowing these animatronics and characters once brought joy to hundreds of kids every day in the 80’s, and many years later they are seen like this, in this condition, it’s just, super sad.
@Sam Morex the place is in a small town n not many ppl visit there anyways (i however am going to celebrate my 18th there) but as much as i love those animatronics, i agree he should sell them to someone who would really appreciate them n fix them up
Pretty haunting when you really just think of it all. They are stuck in this perpetual time loop. The lucid, naive expressions of Billybob, who seems to still be pushing the band to perform at their best quality even though they are worn and just want to give out. He is the only one who still holds onto the dream- the dream of makin’ it... the dream of life returning to the good old days when he lit up a full room of pizza-eating guests. When the band was happy, they were friends. Little does he know, most of his pals around the country have gone to the dump, been cast into a fiery demise. He’s one of the last of his kind, to carry on his legacy. The sad, lifeless expressions on the rest of the band reflect their inability to have free will- they are all sentient beings, yet are trapped in a mindless, endless repeating cycle of singing the same songs over and over. Dancing the same jig hundreds of times, their mechanical joints squeaking and grating against one another. Do they feel pain? Who can know? Perhaps their expressions hold the answer. They’re relics of a past time, a time when the world was more simple. But time has forgotten them, traded them in for giant Television screens playing Disney shows for hordes of obese 7-12 year olds, stuffing their faces with mediocre pizza and soft drinks. Billybob’s glory days are over, and he and the band have no choice but to look out upon the crowd, over and over again, watching as slowly people stop coming. The world crumbles around them. Soon... it will all end. But until that day, the Rock-a-Fire Explosion will play on, Billybob will sing his tune and jig, and everyone will be happy once more, grasping for those days which are slowly slipping out of reach. For the happiness they once brought to so many faces... now escapes *them* .
I actually live where I can go to this place pretty frequently, and I've been here several times. it's really sad to see it in person. the cracking of the animatronics you can hear all across the building when they're on... really pitiful.
The sad thing is, they shouldn't have been working when they were like that, but at least (for a little while) Braylon came back to restore these guys that year! (Unfortunately though he left in Dec. due to stress and stuff... :()
Yes, temporarily. A lot of the Rockafire travel shows (the three animatronic bands usually consisting of Phatz, Mitzy, and billy bob) are the worst of them since they mostly just travel between carnivals. The guy who made and still works on these guys, Aaron fetcher did a great video series last year about repairing a heavily neglected one. I would check it out if you are interested in this stuff.
@@XxSku11xUnd3adXx It's not really that they're too lazy to do so, but that it's difficult to and such. Also dcist.com/story/15/04/22/remember-the-rockafire-explosion/
Oh hellll no imagine having to turn them off at the end of the day after hearing them clicking and moving all day. Ian never run out of a room with nobody in it but that would be the day I did
*You go to eat a snack only to come back to see Billy Bob isn't at his stage* They should make. Horror movie off of these guys or like a short film They are perfect Horrific...check Disturbing...check Have really scary faces...check Look scary but sound happy as if they were psychopaths....check They are perfect for horror!
To be honest, billy bob and looney bird seem worn up but still happy. Now, they are doing maintenance on the characters and billy bob has a new mask. I have a video about.(I am not trying to self promote I just thought I’d say.)
Sheesh, billy bob is straight out of a horror movie. The way his eyes fell halfway into their sockets and roll back into his head, the way his head unnaturally jerks side to side and the noises it makes... It's a real shame. I've never seen a show, but I've watched restored ones, and Billy Bob is just such a sweet, loving, and kind character. He does not deserve to be abandoned like this.
Soft_Box I think more likely Rolfe beach bear or misty could and none of them would chop off a head just give a kid nightmares PTSD towards animatronics and maybe just maybe some skin damage so overall a little more damage than fnaf 4 kid
The cylinders in the majority of them are broken. They’re not in the right settings either, too fast of movements kills them. These are seriously neglected animatronics. I bet you those mask’s have melted onto the frame of the animatronics
I'm kinda confused. If this is the only place on Earth that still has the Rockafire Explosion band, is Creative Engineering making these covers of newer pop songs solely for this location?
Creative engineering isn’t allowed to help them whatsoever, and also there’s some other places with them, even a place in canada, they’re still in bad shape but are still functioning unlike these lol
Aaron I think came out publicly and said they refused his help on restoration. I remember him saying that vaguely when I use to binge his videos a few years back, don’t take my word on it.
Mitzi: 3 Minutes Before Death Rolfe And Earl: Done With Everything Billy Bob: Legit A Ghost Fatz: Wants To Die Dook: Depressed Beach Bear: Dead Edit: Looney Bird: Alive And Well Birthday Bird: Depressed
if you go on the google reviews it appears as of feb 2020 they've been repaired! it's only pictures so it's hard to know to what extent but it's better for sure.
After doing my fair share of research, I can honestly say that whoever is supposed to be in charge of taking care of these animatronics really fell down on the job. At first I thought “eh, they’re old. Probably just can’t keep them together anymore.” But, there are a solid number of people out there who have taken great care of their Rockafires and they are in EXCELLENT condition. And, for the ones that weren’t in great condition, the proper TLC was put in to get them back to their old selves. If all the Rockafires out there looked this bad, I wouldn’t say a thing. But it’s clear to me that with the proper care, they can look SO much better. LOOK at these things. They’re being neglected and abused! While I’ve never worked on these specifically, as a craftsman myself I know that there wouldn’t be a crazy amount of money to keep these guys in shape. It’s not about money. It’s about putting in the time. Sewing kits, patches, replacing components, proper cleaning, and maintenance of mechanics. It’s not rocket science. It’s just decency. Taking pride in your establishment. You can do better, Billybob’s Wonderland.
I agree, but I also think it's important to recognize the difference between a personal collector who rarely operates them, versus a business that needs to put on multiple shows a day. It's the difference between a classic car that sits in a nice dry garage versus a car that drives 1000 miles every month. Using them so much dramatically increases the amount of maintenance needed to keep them looking good.
tier list of least to most depressed looking 1: Looney Bird. he looks completely fine actually. 2. Rolfe DeWolfe. He still looks pretty happy honestly. 3. Possessed Bob. His pupils don’t show making him look like a demonic entity smiling as he takes over Billy Bobs body. 4. Mitzi Mozzarella. She looks like she’s trying to hold in the gallons of tears as she moves her hands around in a way that makes her look like she’s almost done with everything in life. 5. Birthday Bird. mans strain of hair makes him look like the main star of an emo band. From the front he looks like this emoji -> 😔 on the side he looks like he’s slowly lost his mind and is now crippling down into pure madness always questioning his surroundings, he also looks like he’s about kill a random child with a singular death stare at a 5 mile radius. 6. Fatz Geronimo. This man looks down at the ground in such a depressing manner. He looks likes he’s been through things you could never possibly imagine. He plays his piano with not even a single drop of happiness remaining in him. he wants to end it all and yet he can’t. he must be kept locked in this prison forever playing the piano until his body rots revealing his rusty skeleton. Fatz will forever wait for this very day as he plays on his somehow functioning piano. 7. Dook Larue. The man literally looks like he’s seen his own family die right infront of his own eyes. The man doesn’t even wanna try to play the drums and instead just whacks his sticks not even syncing in with the beat a singular bit. He thinks about everything that ever happened to him. his families death, will she ever speak to me again, will i ever see my son again? these are the questions that he asks to himself non stop looking for an answer all in his head since his soul is stuck in a machine that was only ever meant to play the drums with another pair of crew members, he was never supposed to think of this type of stuff. And yet, here he is a s he sits near his drums forever thinking and regretting the mistakes he’s made in his life. 8. Beach Bear. The man cried himself to death. LITERALLY He ended his own life before any of the other members could. And that’s all i have to say :)
Breaks my heart! Such bad shape! But I cried while watching this as every Sunday I went With my great grandpa and this is part of my childhood! My grandpa passed a few years ago and I miss him so much
The animatronics don't look happy... 😔 They look like there being forced to play... 😔 Why not stitch up the holes in Mitzi's long sleeve shirt? Or fix her eyes? 🤔 I grew up in the early 90's to late 90's / early 2000 era with Chuck E. Cheese & loved it. Had all my birthday parties there for a long time. Honestly wish I could have seen the rock a fire explosion in the 80's in there prime when Showbiz Pizza Palace was around. Never heard of Showbiz Pizza Palace until coming across video's on youtube under recommended category!! 👍 I am confused though & I hope someone can answer this: Is Showbiz Pizza Palace & Chuck E. Cheese the same company? Or are they 2 different restaurant chains? I keep thinking Rock A Fire Explosion is an earlier version / adaption of Chuck E. Cheese... 🤷♀️
Actually its really interesting, Showbiz Pizza bought chuck e cheese back when chuck went bankrupt the first time, and they were merged for quite a while until chuck kind of started to take over as the main attraction and the Showbiz band was retrofitted to bring in chuck e cheese characters as the band instead. Then after that it slowly went from being both companies, to just being Chuck E Cheese's :) theres a ton more info on this topic but that's the jist of it!
I can’t imagine any kids going there to play like they used to or anyone wanting to work there after how creepy and worn down it is ;-; Anyone else think this too?
I mean, I have a chuck e cheese where I live, but it only has chuck & none of the other animatronics that my mom grew up with. So if I lived somewhere near, I would definitely take the opportunity to go there. But WORKING there? having to close that place? no way.
As someone who aspires to bring animatronics back to life and back to popularity, this hurts. I wish I could buy this place out and do my best to restore these guys. Sadly, I’m only a teenager with a dream. I really, truly hope these get into better hands. :/
Aaron Fechter still makes more Rock afire Explosion shows and uploads on RUclips. Check out the the channel Rock-afire. He’s still active on the channel.
The poor things :( They look so dirty and broken, they need a good wash and repair. Its hurts to see them all lonely and barely working. I hope that some day they'll be in a better condition.
watching this performance after watching a performance from aaron's personal show really shows how sad this is. these guys were once so full of life and such amazing characters. id love to see them be fixed one day and return to their former glory.
I’ve been there 4 times, and I went last year. Every year they get worse…and in the video they look terrible. Last time I was there beach bear was missing his head
Dino the Betatt yeah it was either the manager or the owner I’ve heard both Rolf and billy have bootleg masks at the moment they might be authentic but I’m not really sure they look off
@@1of1juu70 what happens If it's dark and you're alone and Billy bob looking like he drank like 89 beers and he came out and came after you saying wanna be friends with that creepy looking face
@@1of1juu70 I would be creeped out if they would move in the dark I would be like how are they still moving if the air pressure is off during the night and they are closed?!
I mean, at least they actually worked before. Animatronics are always going to be a bit unsettling to most people, but they were miles above chuck e cheese animatronics. And they made up for the uncanny movement with the funny interactions.
Same,but all animatronics were always scary to me,I just hate things that move and scare,but I love like bendy FNAF creepypasta,and I've just hated clowns and stuff so I don't think I agree but I so understand XD sorry for a very unimportant story😂
I know that they are only robots that are there just to entertain and that they cannot have any kind of feeling but this really looks depressing, at minute 2:52 the dog seems to be very tired and depressed, and with Mitzi they have no trouble fixing at least his clothes !!! ..... the truth is that Billy Bob is the only one who seems to be trying to enjoy the show and cheer up his friends but ... you can see a lot of depression in that band. :(
When you live like 1 hour away from that place O_o also the reason why they just "don't do repairs on them" is because this place is in baurboursville, west virginia, and lots of times places in rural areas get overlooked or parts take weeks to come in. I've been in there, and from the last time I went there they looked a bit better! (But that was a while ago)
No, it’s because the one technician is repeatedly fired by the owner’s son, and the one time Mr. Aaron Fecter came to try and fix them, he got into an argument with the owner about not being paid, and when the owner threatened to hit him, he left.
I’ve been playing fnaf with my friends and ended up diving headfirst into the lore as well as the history of animatronic restaurants. This video was exactly what I needed.
1:43 imagine it was nighttime and u were alone here and suddenly the lights come on and u hear the clicks from the animatronics moving and the song starts playing

This is so sad... This just hurts seeing them in that condition knowing they were once the most advanced animatronics and now they barely function
They are not the most advanced animatronics. The ones in amusement parks and made for films are the most advanced.

Poor Beach Bear. I didn't see him move once. They've more or less got a corpse sitting there on that stage
He’s my favorite character from the band so it’s really sad to see him not move a muscle the whole time

Rock afire explosion’s name is about to become extremely ironic.

The cylinders in the majority of them are broken. They’re not in the right settings either, too fast of movements kills them. These are seriously neglected animatronics. I bet you those mask’s have melted onto the frame of the animatronics

I'm kinda confused. If this is the only place on Earth that still has the Rockafire Explosion band, is Creative Engineering making these covers of newer pop songs solely for this location?
Creative engineering isn’t allowed to help them whatsoever, and also there’s some other places with them, even a place in canada, they’re still in bad shape but are still functioning unlike these lol
One in Canada? Footage?
Aaron I think came out publicly and said they refused his help on restoration. I remember him saying that vaguely when I use to binge his videos a few years back, don’t take my word on it.
@@anmuts do you remember why he said it? Or did BBWL refuse to let Aaron work on them?

This is the most depressing and creepy thing I’ve ever seen. If I went where when I was younger I would’ve had nightmares
Yeah...these ones are in awful condition and its sad to see
they were in much better operating condition in their early years and looked much cleaner. these animatronics have been through a lot.
These look scarier than the fnaf 1 animactronics-
actually they weren’t that bad, i went a few times as a kid and loved every bit of my time spent watching the shows :)
I’ve seen worse conditions
The wolf used to be my favourite.... Now they're all torn :(
if you go on the google reviews it appears as of feb 2020 they've been repaired! it's only pictures so it's hard to know to what extent but it's better for sure.
@Spinel can you not, thanks
HIS NAME IS ROLF
FAKE FAN
😠
Great video. Thanks for bringing back some good memories
Billy bob said everything will be alright when it clearly isn’t
Yeah he looks fucking horrifying
He forgets the pain by singing.
He still holds hope.
@mareeeedensos6348 He holds his hopes and dreams of returning to the good old days, which was seeing families having fun.
After doing my fair share of research, I can honestly say that whoever is supposed to be in charge of taking care of these animatronics really fell down on the job. At first I thought “eh, they’re old. Probably just can’t keep them together anymore.”
But, there are a solid number of people out there who have taken great care of their Rockafires and they are in EXCELLENT condition. And, for the ones that weren’t in great condition, the proper TLC was put in to get them back to their old selves.
If all the Rockafires out there looked this bad, I wouldn’t say a thing. But it’s clear to me that with the proper care, they can look SO much better.
LOOK at these things. They’re being neglected and abused!
While I’ve never worked on these specifically, as a craftsman myself I know that there wouldn’t be a crazy amount of money to keep these guys in shape. It’s not about money. It’s about putting in the time.
Sewing kits, patches, replacing components, proper cleaning, and maintenance of mechanics. It’s not rocket science. It’s just decency. Taking pride in your establishment. You can do better, Billybob’s Wonderland.
I agree, but I also think it's important to recognize the difference between a personal collector who rarely operates them, versus a business that needs to put on multiple shows a day.
It's the difference between a classic car that sits in a nice dry garage versus a car that drives 1000 miles every month.
Using them so much dramatically increases the amount of maintenance needed to keep them looking good.
It looks like the video was filmed back in June based on the condition of the characters, they actually have gotten better since then.
Yes, glad to hear they've been worked on since I visited!
Mitzi os better billy bob has a new mask rolph got a new mask too earl is better duke dose not look deppressed
Yay,
Thay are now witherd
bonnie fatz drift they've been that way for a while, they're still in process of repair.
tier list of least to most depressed looking
1: Looney Bird. he looks completely fine actually.
2. Rolfe DeWolfe. He still looks pretty happy honestly.
3. Possessed Bob. His pupils don’t show making him look like a demonic entity smiling as he takes over Billy Bobs body.
4. Mitzi Mozzarella. She looks like she’s trying to hold in the gallons of tears as she moves her hands around in a way that makes her look like she’s almost done with everything in life.
5. Birthday Bird. mans strain of hair makes him look like the main star of an emo band. From the front he looks like this emoji -> 😔 on the side he looks like he’s slowly lost his mind and is now crippling down into pure madness always questioning his surroundings, he also looks like he’s about kill a random child with a singular death stare at a 5 mile radius.
6. Fatz Geronimo. This man looks down at the ground in such a depressing manner. He looks likes he’s been through things you could never possibly imagine. He plays his piano with not even a single drop of happiness remaining in him. he wants to end it all and yet he can’t. he must be kept locked in this prison forever playing the piano until his body rots revealing his rusty skeleton. Fatz will forever wait for this very day as he plays on his somehow functioning piano.
7. Dook Larue. The man literally looks like he’s seen his own family die right infront of his own eyes. The man doesn’t even wanna try to play the drums and instead just whacks his sticks not even syncing in with the beat a singular bit. He thinks about everything that ever happened to him. his families death, will she ever speak to me again, will i ever see my son again? these are the questions that he asks to himself non stop looking for an answer all in his head since his soul is stuck in a machine that was only ever meant to play the drums with another pair of crew members, he was never supposed to think of this type of stuff. And yet, here he is a s he sits near his drums forever thinking and regretting the mistakes he’s made in his life.
8. Beach Bear.
The man cried himself to death.
LITERALLY
He ended his own life before any of the other members could.
And that’s all i have to say :)
Breaks my heart! Such bad shape! But I cried while watching this as every Sunday I went With my great grandpa and this is part of my childhood! My grandpa passed a few years ago and I miss him so much
I’m sorry, R.I.P.
Idk if you know this by now cause this comment is old but they did get the animatronics fixed. They look and sound a lot better.
@@ssharkbait The only "Good condition" are the cosmetics not the mech's themselves.
@@looneycam2762 now mechs are getting fixed
Sorry for your lost😞
Get people to take care of em how’s this place still running
Its the only one in the tri state area
Agreed 👍
I mean I’ve been there once I don’t care about the condition of the animatronics I was just excited to see the rock fire explosion
sadly, the owner doesn't want anyone to touch them
*Mitzi:* 🎶 Baby you’re a firework! 🎶
*Me:* Looks like you were hit with a firework!
LMAOOOO ur not wrong hahahaha
Not yet
Soon it will explode
My heart just shatters seeing this. I have a wonderland with these animatronics where I live. Those animatronics need some tender loving care.
The animatronics don't look happy... 😔 They look like there being forced to play... 😔 Why not stitch up the holes in Mitzi's long sleeve shirt? Or fix her eyes? 🤔 I grew up in the early 90's to late 90's / early 2000 era with Chuck E. Cheese & loved it. Had all my birthday parties there for a long time. Honestly wish I could have seen the rock a fire explosion in the 80's in there prime when Showbiz Pizza Palace was around. Never heard of Showbiz Pizza Palace until coming across video's on youtube under recommended category!! 👍
I am confused though & I hope someone can answer this: Is Showbiz Pizza Palace & Chuck E. Cheese the same company? Or are they 2 different restaurant chains? I keep thinking Rock A Fire Explosion is an earlier version / adaption of Chuck E. Cheese... 🤷♀️
Actually its really interesting, Showbiz Pizza bought chuck e cheese back when chuck went bankrupt the first time, and they were merged for quite a while until chuck kind of started to take over as the main attraction and the Showbiz band was retrofitted to bring in chuck e cheese characters as the band instead. Then after that it slowly went from being both companies, to just being Chuck E Cheese's :) theres a ton more info on this topic but that's the jist of it!

@@creepersammyb2926 stop

@@NaturallyInspire I ain’t doing nothing
I can’t imagine any kids going there to play like they used to or anyone wanting to work there after how creepy and worn down it is ;-;
Anyone else think this too?
I've been here multiple times and it's actually pretty busy, which is surprising!!
I mean, I have a chuck e cheese where I live, but it only has chuck & none of the other animatronics that my mom grew up with. So if I lived somewhere near, I would definitely take the opportunity to go there. But WORKING there? having to close that place? no way.
The rock afire explosion but its literally an explosion
I've never got this much likes
Lmao
As someone who aspires to bring animatronics back to life and back to popularity, this hurts. I wish I could buy this place out and do my best to restore these guys. Sadly, I’m only a teenager with a dream. I really, truly hope these get into better hands. :/
thankfully though, at least Billy Bob’s cosmetics and eyes seem to be the only main issue. at least for now.

I mean, at least they actually worked before. Animatronics are always going to be a bit unsettling to most people, but they were miles above chuck e cheese animatronics. And they made up for the uncanny movement with the funny interactions.
And I though that fnaf animatronics are the most terrifying(at night ofc) until I saw this
Dis is real horror that if dis things walking in the night😱
Thought it was more sad that terrifying tbh.
Me too they real old
Same,but all animatronics were always scary to me,I just hate things that move and scare,but I love like bendy FNAF creepypasta,and I've just hated clowns and stuff so I don't think I agree but I so understand XD sorry for a very unimportant story😂
Fnaf they're cute-
Even springtrap ;-;
I know that they are only robots that are there just to entertain and that they cannot have any kind of feeling but this really looks depressing, at minute 2:52 the dog seems to be very tired and depressed, and with Mitzi they have no trouble fixing at least his clothes !!! ..... the truth is that Billy Bob is the only one who seems to be trying to enjoy the show and cheer up his friends but ... you can see a lot of depression in that band. :(

Omg they need to be repaired so badly.
I love how there singing a song about getting another chance, its weirdly fitting.
When you live like 1 hour away from that place O_o also the reason why they just "don't do repairs on them" is because this place is in baurboursville, west virginia, and lots of times places in rural areas get overlooked or parts take weeks to come in. I've been in there, and from the last time I went there they looked a bit better! (But that was a while ago)
No, it’s because the one technician is repeatedly fired by the owner’s son, and the one time Mr. Aaron Fecter came to try and fix them, he got into an argument with the owner about not being paid, and when the owner threatened to hit him, he left.
Showbiz: *you thought. We was still burned.*
Chuck e Cheese:
*W H A T*
The poor things if they move they have feelings 😢
