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:

The show was recently acquired by Funtown Mountain, and is currently being moved to their new home there.
While I'm glad it will be taken care of, I'm kind of mad...I contacted Strike and Spare right after they got rid of it...then contacted Libscomb who then sold it to someone else, and eventually bought by Funtown Mountain?

Ugh...my luck sometimes.

I called them a year before they closed, so i could buy the show! The employee was like "i don't think we have any singing animals". I headed down there and they didn't have it anymore. I was gonna buy the show. I'm sorry me and you didn't get the show. I wish one of us would have got it.

Hopefully Funtown will be able to keep them in good repair. Sounds like they're getting quite a few CEI bots. Wonder if there will be new shows?

Personally, I'm glad they went to a buyer that will put them back on display for the public. YouTube vids are great, but there's nothing quite like seeing the real thing in person. It's great new generations of kids will be able to discover and enjoy them.

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.
Don't have alot of resale value?! dude, i would sell my left kidney for it.

On a side note, I'm glad the Circus World Pizza show that was at the other Strike and Spare location resurfaced and will now be at Funtown as well. That was one of the animatroic shows I grew up with when it was originally in Illinois way back in the day.

I think Funtown got it for like $1000. That's crazy cheap for a RAE!
