https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3qZJQGeQSA St Joesph, Missouri, is where i live. We used to have a Showbiz until 1985. It had a mini stage. I theorize that it went to Strike And Spare, in Tennessee. Well now Strike and Spare is closed, what happened to the Rock-afire There? I would do anything for this information, Thanks. :beedoo: :beedoo: :beedoo: :beedoo: :beedoo:

I don't know what happened to that show, but that show audio is running slower than it should be- Burt's voice is deeper than it actually is on the recording. It's almost as if it's running off a reel-to-reel player but the player is playing it too slowly.

I wouldn't be surprised if the show was just junked. Used, badly maintained, 30+ year old animatronics shows really don't have a lot of resale value.

They're using the show to train and teach. I contacted them awhile back when I found out Hillwood was getting rid of it.

It never hurts to ask.

I would be interested in knowing how it was implemented into a class and if it was still a RAE...well a RAE Mini anyway. :billybob:

Supposedly it was a technical class. Pretty cool to get to learn about animatronics in a classroom!

That was not a recycled show. It was installed new at the Strike & Spare with NOS directly from CEI circa 2001-2002 if I remember correctly.

The show is now in possession of a private collector awaiting refurbishment.

Thanks for setting us straight. Wonder where that Libscomb rumor got started?

Oh yeah, I forgot about Strike and Spare giving their show up, so to speak. I only just remembered when I was googling Beach Bears for sale near St. Joseph, Missouri.

I hope whoever gets it will take care of and respect the show.

What are you even talking about? I'm assuming you live in Missouri, then. I'm just gonna be in the area some time, felt it was worth looking at even if I couldn't afford it.

Pretty cool that the Strike & Spare show is heading to Funtown Mountain. That place is located in Kentucky as well, where I live right now. I might head up there in the future to enjoy some CEI action!

The show was recently acquired by Funtown Mountain, and is currently being moved to their new home there.
