Aaron Fechter uploaded a YouTube Video about The powers of programming A RAE To a Song (Audubon Zoo In this Case) In 2011. He said he Is doing This for Danny & Charlotte, Who are managing a Theme Park With The installation Of A Rock-afire. He says This is Not the Big announcement, (Which was I An’t Gay By Billy Bob) And that He wont tell Us Fans Where this New amusement park is. In 2014, No Insight has Been Made about this, and If Aaron Could Clarify About this RAE If Still Running In Business, That Would Help.

15. RAE In Israel?? STATUS: Confirmed By Fechter, Unknown If Running.
I came Across This YouTube Video, In Which The RAE Was Wearing Custom Outfits, Programmed Poorly, & Were speaking a foreign language.

16. Till's Show STATUS: It's There
A Retro Pizza Zone user by the name of Till bought a RAE on eBay. He has it, and it came with a spare Billy Bob, and a manual mong other things. He is currently building a place for them a la Chris Thrash. We've traced it to Fun Zone FEC in Long Island

17. Partial RAE Status: Display
Instagram user @rockafire.pro has a Partial RAE on display and its unknown if he's maintaining it to run in the future or not.

18. Partial Funstation USA Show STATUS: Disrepair, Fan owned
Instagram user "Jojo King/Billy Bob And Jojo King 13(/72? Multiple Accts)" obtained the partial RAE, Billy Bob, Fatz, and Dook, from Funstation USA FEC in Staten Island, NY. He is currently maintaining certain movements and ad-libbing certain cosmetics but at least it didn't get thrown away.

Updating this is a good idea.

Kinetics in West Seattle bought a full show with plans to repair and show. We helped them track info on it, and I think it was the Fun Zone RAE. I've been wondering how that's going, since the last public information from them is a couple of years old.

My understanding is that Chris Thrash sold his show back to Aaron to be sent to that theme park you mention in 21. Aaron was going to help him put together another show as he was able. I haven't heard any more about that.

Aaron's show went through a blast in the CEI warehouse last year when some hydrillum tanks failed. They're running fine, though.

This is a good list - pretty sad that the actively running RAE's are far outnumbered by the ones that have been destroyed or lost (and that most are owned by private sources). Great list to have though!

Figured I'd toss these out there for future updates when time permits. Chris Thrash's show was sold to a buyer in South Korea. Heard rumor this was possibly for an amusement park but have heard zero news since. This sale happened back around the time the old forum went down, so it was a few years ago.

There's a few more fans that own completed shows (some of which are up and running) plus lots of other fans that own either near-completed shows or individual characters. I can help with this list later on, just need to verify a few sources.

Also that show sold in 2005 was probably the one I purchased. Aaron listed it on eBay and I ended up with the winning bid. Still have it, brand new, just in storage. These are photos of it from May of this year:

UPDATE:
3. Travis's Show Status: In Storage
In 2005, a RAE Show was put up for sale on ebay. It is conceived to be fellow forum Member's VegaNova (Travis). The RAE Is Still in Storage, Unknown what will happen.

The mini show at the Strike and Spare in Nashville, TN was sold about a year before the Strike and Spare closed. That's what they told me a few weeks before they closed when I called them to see if it was still operational. They closed in November of this year. I don't know where it ended up.

By raid do you mean a police raid, like with a SWAT team and all that?

If so that's a very interesting way for a RAE to be discovered! It's so cool that you are buying that band and restoring it. I'm so happy for you.

Pistol Pete's merged with Peter Piper Pizza back in the early 90s. Guess which company bought them out last year?

I really doubt any of them have RAE shows now.
