Brilliant! It's good to know that at least Braylon understands where Aaron is coming from and why he protects everything/is stubborn. He's not picking sides either.
I couldn't agree more. I'm really hoping that eventually cooler heads will prevail and maybe there's some mutual ground they can all get on cuz I would love to see unity in this fandom, it's filled with such awesome people!
@@SetsStreetsEats I doubt it. Fechter has serious issues regarding the fandom around RAE, mainly because he can't monetize it to the extent that he wants. He won't even have those warehouse tours anymore, because that's being shut down.
My dream for 2022 is to see Aaron come to terms with the fandom and realize that blacklisting and demonizing half of the fandom does not do any good to the rockafire as a whole. I also hope Aaron's followers can come to understand that CEI blacklisted fandom members such as myself are not the bad guys we have been demonized to be. Braylon has presented a surprising but interesting opinion on Aaron. I'd love to more interviews with various members of the fandom. I am thrilled to see BBWL back on its feet after so many years.
Awesome video! I actually think Braylon explained everything very well! I'm glad he's not really picking side's and he's trying to be cool with everyone. let's hope all this needless drama can be put aside and everyone can get along someday.
Wow that is perhaps the most professional and open minded answer to the mafia-Aaron situation I have ever heard. Regardless, fantastic work is being done here and I am so glad there is a fantastic show in the US creating the next generation of rock afire fans!
I'm glad Aaron Fechter's work still gets the attention it gets. Such a great idea, way ahead of it's time and way too good for the pizza chain it was synonymous with. Thanks to projects like this Fechter will not be the failure Corporate America tried to turn him into.
The first time I saw the explosion was when they were all broken down and beaten. Great to see them restored. Braylon’s done great job with the restoration especially beach bears flow valves and how great they are, they really are amazing. Great to see
Braylon said everything perfect! This is a great video, and I am glad to hear the Braylon is not going back and forth, with Aaron, and all of the drama going on in the Rock-afire fandom, and, that he is not picking sides. Good to see, and hear this! I know Braylon will go even futher than this one day, and maybe restore other Rock-afire's, but until that day, Braylon is the Billy bob's wonderland master!
My 1st rock afire memory: mid the start of covid, August 2020 I traveled 10 hours towards Swiss to go see a completely broken down and abandoned rock afire, up until this point I had been major fan since 2017-ish,(found them via yt). I remember walking in seeing Rolfe peek behind the corner and I just froze. I don't remember much really. All I know is my grandpa telling me that I just stood there staring at them for a long time. Fast forward to today, I got hired and got the show close to fully restored and running. The last public show besides bbwl! Under my management. I would have never imagined this back when I only knew Rae via TH-cam. I'm very thankful to the owner of the show and all the mafia people who are responsible for the bluebox etc and helped me just like they did with Braylon. Rock afire rocks!!!
Sadly I have never seen the rock-afire live. Thanks to social media I had a great opportunity to get to know them and know people involved in them such as David or Travis. Rockafire Mafia aren't what Aaron describes them, they are amazing people as well as Aaron is sometimes. In my opinion this fandom should be united so that we could progress in giving this characters a "second life" for new generations. Imagine just what we all could do united !!
Not my memory but my fathers. He remembered going to one somewhere in in Hermantown Minnesota. He told me stories of his childhood when his parents went though a custody battle. His buddies from his elementary school took him down to Showbiz every weekend to help him distract himself from the drama at home. He said besides his actual home, he felt more at home at Showbiz. But when the decade rolled to a close and the concept unification protocol came around. He said it felt like the same place even with the different animatronics, but it just felt like the entire place was fake. For the time it was their in is childhood he said it really did help him truck through his life. Looking more to give this raffle prize to him more than me. I love animatronics and stuff but I think he tops it with knowledge of them, lol.
Hey @Jackson_083, out of the seven memories that were posted for this video yours was the name I pulled out of the hat to win the t-shirt! If you could shoot me your name & shipping address to setsstreetsneats@gmail.com I will get it mailed to you ASAP. Congrats!
The first time I went to BillyBobs Wonderland was with my Grandma last December. My favorite memory was watching the animatronics and playing the big Connect four.
This is exactly how I remember them. Thank you for these videos for such a great blast from the past. Do you by chance have a list of the original Showbiz pizzas? I know of the one I went to in oak lawn IL (that became a Chuck E. Cheese) but I have a vivid memory of a smaller venue in a mall in Orland park IL and I can’t find anything on it. I truly don’t know if it existed or if it was part of my childhood dreams! Any info would be appreciated.
ive always loved the rockafire it makes me so happy to see that the rockafire is going to try to stay alive and braylen is trying alot to keep it alive
Braylon has done a great job getting their show back in working condition! Most of the people that were bashing BBWL in recent years were just angry about the bad condition of their rockafire show.
My name is Jaime I remember having a birthday at ShowBiz when I was a little girl The RockaFire Explosion 💥 is cool Mitsy is my favorite love them all. When I have kids I would make a tradition to take them on a road trip there for birthdays to Billy Bobs since Chuck E Cheese has been stripped of its nostalgia with the 2.0 remodel
I honestly wasn’t born at the time of the Rockafire Explosion. It’s a shame but I would for sure love to experience this in person! I remember hearing about these guys back in 2017 when I was watching vids of Chuck-E-Cheese. And I automatically fell in love with the band
Chimpys Pizza Safari- gorilla looked me right in the eye and freaked me out. Used my Mom's skirt as brakes and learned a new word... "Robot" Sent me on a life quest to learn how something so fake can look so real and alive...
when you visited Creative Engineering, did Aaron tell you about the time Billy Bob's Wonderland ran him out because they didn't believe he was the RAE's inventor??
My first time seeing the rock-afire explosion was in the bearadise show on one of iron factors of premium videos it was one of the best times I've ever seen as it was the first ever actual robot which actually seem like video
I've never been to the rock afire explosion before but I was a long time fan sens I was 5 or 4 years old but wat I remember is i yous to get my plushis and mec show with them.
@@cecsouthflorida528 Yes but I was mainly referencing my initial point was that this is the only public one where you can still have the same experience you did as a child playing video games and eating pizza while watching them.
I second that, yes he even said that was his next project that he was starting in the next few days and he already had some of the motor takin apart on the center stage curtain.
Excuse me i help them to make the face i help them to axa put on the faces but i have much time goes aaron called me to actually help and 2x with full faces of the rock afire who time charges help them to actually make b perez hair but i love much time for it i just have to make to paint a face when can the party started
I always forgot something i accidentally miss something from fond of the stage aperture be copying 0942 told me like i want since class in aaron factors class because i was accidentally put i have a copy kind of two things why next we show from billy bob wonderland one the bulge of one of the really big bird on all of the gestation to forgot to put

What the fuck is a Rock a fire fandom?
@@pronounshismajesty3542 All of the people that love the Rockafire, most times known as the ("Rockafiremafia"). You know, a fan group.

This is so insanely cool, I would literally kill to go to this place
My favorite experience with the rocket fire explosion was when I met Aaron in person at his studio.🥰
I feel so honored to live in West Virginia nearby such an amazing place! 💕

Can't wait, this will be epic!
I think you'll like it!
@@SetsStreetsEats I know I will!
my first memory was when i was 6 and I saw it on youtube and have been a fan since and i am building my own animatronics now that I am 12
That's awesome! I'm so excited to see new fans of the RAE!

Yes he told me the story. I've heard the other side of that story from Rex, the BBW owners son, so somewhere in the middle is the truth.
I hope they work forever
me too!
Even looking past Fechter's selfishness he still espouses very divisive opinions on other subjects.
Interesting video in that he runs down the history of this somewhat, er, eccentric fandom.
My first time seeing the rock-afire explosion was in the bearadise show on one of iron factors of premium videos it was one of the best times I've ever seen as it was the first ever actual robot which actually seem like video
My 1st memory is when fats and his thing They opened up the curtains and started rocking out and I started screaming and crying when
Can’t wait!
Chris you're awesome!
Been watching you since the first BBWL video!
Thanks Nolan!
Have you heard that braylon is getting official creative engineering masks!!!
No he was fired for stealing last year

Is this a public place?
Yes, this is the last place in America that you can go see the Rock-afire Explosion perform, eat pizza and play video games :-)
@@SetsStreetsEats what about creative engineering, and smitty super service statiom
@@cecsouthflorida528 those are private collections and not public places that you can go freely

Did you ask him about the curtains?
I second that, yes he even said that was his next project that he was starting in the next few days and he already had some of the motor takin apart on the center stage curtain.
