i find it so sad that there are not many places with this kind of shows anymore i hope there comes more places with shows with animatronics i would love that
Agreed. In an era where companies want to spend less money on things, I doubt that we'll ever see restaurants return to animatronics. They'd just as soon have a TV with virtual/animated characters as that's much cheaper than paying a tech to work on animatronics that tend to be high-maintenance. It sucks, and I wish it wasn't like that. They'd draw such a crowd by featuring animatronics, but they just won't do it in today's modern age. Sad.
Oooh you're an absolute legend!! Thank you so much for this!! It's amazing to see so many shows being performed with the halloween costumes and decorations!!
Just a quick update: I have a roughly hour and a half long video of nonstop Rock-afire Explosion content coming out within the next day. Be sure to check it out!
Don't worry everyone, I will eventually have more of these videos coming. I have some additional footage of BBWL from another visit that will be featured in an upcoming video at some point in the first half of 2023. I appreciate all the views on this one!
Thanks for posting this! I want to go for my birthday next year and was wondering what the state of the animatronics were! I hope they still work well then.
The tech at Billy Bob's, Braylon, fixed them up in late 2021 and early 2022. I believe they debuted at a show in late January after restoration (or something like that).
Nice! Those are some pretty good footage, I'm also assuming that was filmed before the weld on Dook's left arm broke. Glad to see ya both got to see the Rock Afire Explosion all decorated for Halloween. I also see the center stage curtain is stuck open on Dook & Fatz's side. I had a feeling something like that would eventually happen with the closing sequence on both of the curtains not being exactly in sync when they both were still operating.
I appreciate it. This footage was filmed on 10/22 and 10/23, so I'm not sure if I arrived just before or just after the issue with Dook's arm. As far as the curtain issue goes, I definitely noticed it. Braylon was there and working on the curtains on 10/23, so they might be fixed by now.
I requested it that time. However, I just stopped by Billy Bob's this past weekend and got another FNAF song. My new RAE video should be up within the next 24 hours. Next few hours if I'm lucky lol.
I wish there were more. I sometimes worry about Billy Bob's. If they close, that's it for public Rock-afire shows in the US (and all of North America, if I'm not mistaken). I know the creator, Aaron, loathes and despises this place. However, I still want to see it survive so that I at least have a show that I can visit.
@@csxno601 I live in San Jose, But I have a few friends in the DC area; next time I visit I have to make a pilgrimage to go there before it's too late!
@@ultragor Aaron and the former owner of Billy Bob's Wonderland had some sort of falling out around 10 years ago, and there has been bad blood ever since. I don't know too many details, and I try to stay out of it. However, I do enjoy this show nonetheless and hope it lasts well into the future. If it goes, the legacy of Rock-afire is likely done in North America - at least, in terms of public access (as mentioned). I'd definitely make an effort to visit if you're ever in the area.
5:24 when I was little they did not have the safety nets on this game so I ran up to the ball holes and put them in I did not get in trouble I was just too cute🥹
OMG, I can't believe that in so long, they've finally fixed them and gave them more spirit! I absolutely love this!!

That drummer got more rhythm than me 😂

Good to see them in good shape again
I love this so much! Thank you for sharing! Great memories and I hope some kids/families today would enjoy this place while it's still here!
Thanks, and no problem! I have another video coming out within the day!
The halloween costumes: Earl is a cop, Rolf is a prisoner, Beach Bear is a mummy, Mitzi is a witch, and Choo-Choo is a ghost.
Dook is a vampire, Looney is a cowboy? Billy Bob is a pirate and Fatz is a Magician
Don't worry everyone, I will eventually have more of these videos coming. I have some additional footage of BBWL from another visit that will be featured in an upcoming video at some point in the first half of 2023. I appreciate all the views on this one!
Man, if only they could dim the lights when they played the show, that’d be perfect!
Can we acknowledge they were doing fnaf song idk how to feel about it XD
🎶Life is a highway I want to ride in all night long🎶
This is incredible!
Thanks!
Dang and there still doing this till this day
11:16 get at it choo choo ❤❤
Thank you! I love it!! 😊
No problem, thanks!
These are the best videos ever
Hi
gosh i wanna visit them so much
I stopped by again this past weekend and have a loooong video coming out within the day. Hopefully you can make it out at some point.
I didn't know Billy Bob's Wonderland was once a Showbiz location. I wonder how they became independent and able to evade concept unifiation.
thanks for sharing this, also i think fatz is waiting for you to record him haha 9:00
No problem, and thank you! I have another video coming in the next couple days.
they look so cool in those cosmetics.
1:20 “Yeah There’s my Boy!”
I really like Dook lol.

No problem, thanks. I'd say the animatronics should be working well for quite some time now.
the band is constantly being maintained, so yes they will be working.
@@Rockafire1993 In what country or state are the premises?
Someone fix that hook that goes on the curtain by dook. The very top first hook.
Have they already been restored? Wow, I slept for a long time of course.
The tech at Billy Bob's, Braylon, fixed them up in late 2021 and early 2022. I believe they debuted at a show in late January after restoration (or something like that).
This is sooo cool!!!

Seth I noticed that dook has a small rip on the side of his mouth.
@@JamestheAnimator-mz2mk Yeah, I noticed the small rip as well when I went there back in September.
@@sethhorst6158 Also, Did Fatz's Mask change or something?
@@JamestheAnimator-mz2mk Yeah, his mask was at one point replaced with one with one more in shape.
i freaked out when they played fnaf 💀
I requested it that time. However, I just stopped by Billy Bob's this past weekend and got another FNAF song. My new RAE video should be up within the next 24 hours. Next few hours if I'm lucky lol.
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
How come the middle curtain only one side of it closed
Not sure, but I know it was being worked on while I was there.
Thought they got removed ages ago by chuck e cheese
It's like the equivalent of a Pizza Place 'Rump State.' More impressive that its still standing Post FNAF.
Where's all the customers??
