Thank you so much for this video! I was lucky enough to attend the merrillville celebration station many times as a young kid. I am hoping that someday the sound for the show will be discovered. I would love to hear the “WOOF RAAAADIO” again.
@@Ragtime_Studios Yeah. It’s a local legend that they are currently in the attic of a local water park which has sadly been confirmed but not by myself personally. Your photos are of the rumored attic at Deep River Waterpark in Hobart, IN. I am sad to learn from you that they have now been discarded.
@@rywa5788 Yeah, I got to speak to the owner of the waterpark personally, he bought them at the auction with the intentions to get them running at his park, sadly never happened, when he sold the park to Seven Peaks they threw them out :(
I remember going to the Merrillville location a handful of times. I remember the first time I went there, the panda drummer was set up improperly and he kept tipping over his drum kit. It was pretty funny. After every show, some guy kept climbing to the second floor of the stage and re-configuring it.
I worked ride maintenance in Memphis and they did have a band inside with Daniel Bones and the gang. I didn’t see it in operation much because it was reserved for parties and I was working outside. 1992.
i live in gary indiana and we had a CS in Merriville and these guys were fighting and they discovered the other guy was at the place, so they went there and shot and killed him.... the place was open til 3am but after that thye started closing at midnight, then they closed all together... back in the late 90's...
There was a location in Park Forest, Illinois in the early 80s, too. It was only there for a short period of time, like 1 or 2 years. That location also had the W.O.O.F. Radio set on a single stage.
I recall seeing the Clearwater stage. Sadly I never saw them before. I also kind of mad at myself that I had a few of Audio animatronics that has now been lifted. I love them and thing there so cool. Just still wish i could of saw them sing. Sad there just static now, but at lest some of them where not trashed.
Thank you for this! I remember the Merrillville IN location fondly. Did Sally design these animatronics? I know they were stored at a water park in the mid 2000s. I would love to know where they landed & what company created them. They were incredible!
Came here because of the Memphis location… I remember seeing Daniel and the Dixie Band until at least 2000!

No problem! I had recently found out that the show was thrown out sadly.

I had a birthday party at the one in Bensalem. It later became an Old Country Buffet before that too closed down.

You know it's might just be a false memory but for some reason I remember there being three "stages" or at lest three red curtains.
If you went to Clearwater, they had 2 stages, one for the Dixies Trio and one for Jethro.

They were built by Creative Presentations, the Merrillville set was sent to Splash Down Dunes, when Seven Peaks bought the park they were thrown out.
