He has the best beard ever

I'm hoping someday soon, it's definitely on my bucket list!

LOL he has no clue what PTT means,

@@showbizgreensboro8956 If you are talking to me, and I have to assume you are, it stands for Pizza Time Theater.

@@SetsStreetsEats oh i didnt think you would get that lmao srry

@@SetsStreetsEats I want to go to Smitty’s Super Service Station to. Although I didn’t grow up in the 80s and 90s, I still have a soft spot for Showbiz and CEC. It would be really cool to see the old show and maybe have some pizza or something.

Well it did

They were fixed

Yeah I know you are right, I believe creative engineering got involved but then there was a problem between the owners and Aaron Fechter, no sure why. It's very clear they do not want to put any money into the show and that may have been the problem.

they might have them normal in 2022

There are no water pipes under the stage. Moist valves are from a broken/missing air dryer.

@@rangiem2948 same

Why does everyone presume they even HAVE the money to keep them maintained? That place doesn't look like it does much business.

That's awesome, nice artwork!

Thank you so much for the compliment. I try really hard to make videos I would want to watch myself even though they take a bit extra time and planning. It definitely makes me happy to make a video that I'm proud of.

its being fixed again

Yeah I was happy to at least get to see all the characters even though the center stage was dark. I appreciate you watching!

Yeah, Rolfe's been like that ever since Braylon left. :( Something always seems to go wrong whenever he wasn't there, it's weird, and at this point, they'll probably never find it, considering NOBODY at that disgraceful place cares about the show. :(

@dinosaur chicken nuggets with extra ranch I think Braylon took parts of one of the shows in the back and fixed Mitzi, and eventually I think was gonna do the others once he fixed them better from how badly broken they all were, but because he left, this never happened. :(

@dinosaur chicken nuggets with extra ranch I know, it REALLY does, Rex and Mark are TERRIBLE owners... :(

didn't somebody steal rolfe's vest

Thank you! I've been a few times and it never gets old it's such a cool place and filled with nostalgia. Thanks for watching!

And upon playing the game I definitely did not lol

I appreciate you watching!

Thanks so much for saying that and for watching. I do wish those two got along as well but somebody messaged me last week and said there is some activity at Billy Bob's on the show and it appears that they are doing some repairs so I'm going to try and stop in there in the next few weeks on one of my trips and see if that's true or not, fingers crossed!

@@SetsStreetsEats You're welcome and thank you for sharing this video :) Nice, cool to hear they're working on repairing. Looking forward them fixing the show. Thanks for letting me know :) It's always cool to hear these updates. This is the only public pizzeria that has the Rock afire Explosion. Such a shame Rock afire Bar has to close down.

I appreciate that, thank you so much for watching!

I have also been the little Farris Wheel ride since I was a kid it’s the best.. did you go to Camden Park?

I drove by there briefly just to take a look at it, it's a very cool old amusement park for sure

Yeah it's definitely a sign of the times. It's actually a miracle it's still open

Wow, thank you, I really appreciate that!

Yea more or less

It's really sad. What a great opportunity to be sitting on something so unique now. I'm sure it is very costly but it's almost one of a kind at this point and it seems like if he would just fix it up it would become a way bigger draw and make him more money.

They have a new owner? What happened to Rex?

I thought Mark hated the show? But if that is true, hey, It's great he changed his ways and I hope they can work things out! ^^ FINALLY, he should been like this a LONG time ago, ESPECIALLY when Braylon was still there. (He was very rude to Braylon when he was there if you didn't hear. :( ) Also, what happened to Rex? Did he die or just step down?

@@cecmidwest1581 Rex is retired now

That's really cool. It could have been one of the offshoot chains that just had the rocka fire show and got the associated novelty ride along with it but who knows. It's neat that those things still exist

The show actually looked pretty good when they had that big restoration back in 2015. Yes, the cosmetics are and air pressure were awful, but the show was in general pretty watchable.

Actually, Braylon wasn't fired, he left do to stress, it was all too much for him (I don't blame him honestly), and I think MOST of it has to do with those jerks of so-called "employees" who were on Mark's side the entire time who all hated him for no reason and wanted to bully him and make him look bad. :/ Terrible, you'd never see me working there. :( Mark and Rex are terrible owners. :/ Braylon should of never went back there to begin with, (as much as he and Aaron are the ONLY ones who care about the show and wanted to help them, ) The two of them shouldn't of had to put up with their crap and didn't deserve ANY of it, they were only trying to help. :/ However, I heard rumors that Mark changed his ways since all of this happened and is FINALLY gonna do something to fix the show, (and gonna get in touch with Aaron again, (don't take my word for it, we know how Aaron wants nothing to do with the place since that incident with Rex and I have no idea if this is true or not, but someone here said so), but if it's true, THANK GOSH. (I don't know about Rex..)

@@princesspeachfan100 oh thanks for fixing my error thank and HOPEFULLY they do change for the better of this Show

@@hyperactivelad5904 You're welcome, yeah, we all hope so at this point...

No, but it's on list for sure!

I'll have to look the names up next time I'm on my laptop but I found them on the classical section under sentimental on epidemic sound.com

Thanks!

Wow, Thank you so much for the compliment I truly appreciate you watching my videos!

@@SetsStreetsEats sad to see the channels of mediocre among us players get 1mil subs and channels like yours are kicked under the couch and forgot about

@@BoredAmerican yeah it can be frustrating at times but then again I'll watch some other KZfaqr that blows me away that has even less than mine lol so it all evens out. I think the algorithm KZfaq uses doesn't really pay attention to you till you've had over 100 videos posted and I'm only at about 80 so I'm still a baby at this! But I truly appreciate your sub and I hope you enjoy my future content 😊

@@SetsStreetsEats oh I sure will.

@@SetsStreetsEats I also have a tip to grow your channel. I’d recommend putting out some videos that are about 10 minutes, and also doing KZfaq shorts aswell

It's such a cool slice of nostalgia, thanks so much for watching from the other side of the pond!

Russia

Around 6 pm if I remember right.

@@SetsStreetsEats dang i went there january 13th 2021 at 12:00 pm

I definitely want to. Ive heard is 350-400 bucks to take the tour with Aaron, which I'm not opposed to, I just have to fit getting down to Orlando in my schedule.

@@SetsStreetsEats Yeah it would be cool seeing you do a video on that just saying.

@@SetsStreetsEats People complain about the price, but when you bring 3 or 4 people with you (the price does not change if you bring more people) then it actually isn’t that bad. Especially because there is no where else in the world you can experience something quite like a tour of CEI.

@@showbizcec4985 yeah that's very true I actually had thought to reach out to a couple of KZfaqrs and see if they wanted to do a combined video just for the added extra fun. I'm trying to plan a trip next month down there so stay tuned!

@dinosaur chicken nuggets with extra ranch thanks!

It was actually really good, I should have let it cool off tho lol

Yeah, I have since found out about it and I am very bummed that I never get to see it

@@SetsStreetsEats well it's not all bad, the animatronics were not destroyed, and went to collectors! Also be happy it closed because of it was still open today, the show would be in awful shape, because the employees never took care of the show, and was in pretty bad shape when it closed down also...

Yes it was!

Yeah, just not a ShowBiz Pizza anymore

I have been to Louisville, if you would like to see what I did in while in town, look up my oldest episodes of my channel and I believe it was episode 9 or 10 of my vlog :)

Welcome to my channel!

Its already on my list for later this year!

@@SetsStreetsEats Awesome! :) im going for a tour too in november!

I'm excited to say that I just spoke to Aaron Fechter n this Wednesday night he's giving me the tour so I'm off to Orlando. Stay tuned for the video!

@@SetsStreetsEats Woah! congrats! I hope you will have so much fun!

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/obJ9ha6Sq5mVm6M.html

Aaron tried to help but the wouldn't let him

@@M1dn1ghtclub They don't have the money that Fechter was demanding to work on them. He has a delusional concept of his worth. Just look at his merch, everything is insanely expensive----it wouldn't occur to him to make something affordable.

I've heard the same thing and I'm excited to be able to go back in 2 weeks!

That's a total bummer to hear. I actually worked there as a gametech for a while after high school.

@@SetsStreetsEats yea i loved that location i even had a few birthdays there but it closed in early 2021

I actually had to help with that store closing. It was super sad. It was my childhood showbiz as well

@@joshbrown1980 what happened to the bots

@@joshbrown1980 No kidding, that would have been really hard for me too, too many memories.

Nooooooo, sigh, thanks for letting me know tho

@@SetsStreetsEats it's sad, they weren't in the greatest condition too but was still much better than BBWL.

@@VentureAttractions Yeah the set that performed in the bar was sold off on Facebook a few years ago. But there is Smitty's Super Service Station which has a flawless Rock Afire and Pizza Time Players set.

@@sethhorst6158 yep!

Yeah I'm fully planning on contacting the owner of Smitty's at some point and going down for a tour. From the videos I've seen that place is going to be amazing to visit!

Born and raised! I definitely miss living there a lot and of course being able to get coney dogs whenever I feel like it lol

Oh Billy Bob has been fixed since this video.

It's been sold since then and the new owners fired the maintenance tech responsible for the show and appear to not care about its up keep at all sadly.

Yeah at this point it almost wish someone would do a Kickstarter to pay for all the repairs that's needed but unfortunately it would probably get pocketed by ownership instead.

@@SetsStreetsEats Yea. If you look up Billy Bob's Wonderland on KZfaq, you'll see many videos of this show in good condition cosmetically, but mechanically they weren't in very good shape. If you watch a video from 2008 of the show, you'll notice they barely move, because their valve banks were full of water.

@@SetsStreetsEats It was up until 2014 that they had water issues.

@@SetsStreetsEats It was also in 2014 when the show was restored by some rock afire enthusiasts, and Roger Crump, the former technician. They also got a new control system called The Blue Box, and the show still runs on that control system to this day. They also got new valves but some of the valves are corroded now due to them not emptying the dryer.

and in 2015, Fatz, Dook, Beach Bear, Mitzi, Billy Bob, and Looney Bird all got new masks. Billy bob's was replaced with the one he's wearing now in 2019, same with Beach Bear. But Mitzi, Fatz, and Dook are still wearing the ones they got in 2015, which is why they look torn & sort of melted.

Well you see that’s the only full show that works that’s public and we wanna see it last

Yeah I think they're finally coming around though I actually stopped in there yesterday on my way through barboursville and Braylon Giles was hard at work on the show and he said they have given him a good budget for it this time and he's revamping the whole thing. He had Billy Bob tore down to the exoskeleton and he was rewiring him while I talked to him and he thinks by January 1st the show is going to be in great condition.

@@SetsStreetsEats awesome!! I am so glad they are being fixed.

@@KMStarner82 yeah me too, I did a vlog while I was there and I'll post it next week!
