Just a bit of context behind the terrible programming, James day (the voice of fatz among others in this show) was the one tasked with programming this tape. There was an original revision of this tape that was programmed and showed to one of the management team, and in the guys words “it looked as if they were having a seizure”. I can imagine after programming an entire 15 minutes worth of movements wasn’t a quick task even if not up to RAE standards, but having to start it again from scratch probably wasn’t the best news, hence the evidently rushed and slow moving product we have in the video.

And the audience are actually enjoying it, singing along and clapping. Imagine these guys fully restored and turned back to the RAE, Boy they would be blown away.

the amount of comments on this saying that it was “terrible” like hun i grew up with this and honestly it was one of the best times of my childhood

It Literally Sounds Like Bill Farmer Voiced Billy Bob

Well, At least Beach bear looks mostly unchanged. He's my favorite. .3. But poor Rolfe and Earl. They are my second favorite ;n;

Idk about everyone's voices but I kinda like looney female's voice I feel it strangly fit the character.

This is a disgrace to animatronic bands, the voice acting is mistitles and show writing is even worse. And those awful moments when they awkwardly pause for an answer... The programming is not much better either. If your programming is so bad that people think the shows broken, you've got a problem.

This is just so pathetic.. I can't believe they thought this was presentable.. The programming is awful, Fatz looks terrifying, and the voice acting is really lacking. Especially Billy Bob. Ugh.

4:42 I'm dancing be like:

Even though I do wish some of the voice acting was better and the programming was a lot better, at least the audience is having a good time I think it’s adorable that the audience gets to play along with the band

@CEC Ruxpin Thank you, I do aim to get the best videos for you guys, I could be traveling back there in the next few weeks

Billy Bob & Looney Birds voices though 😂😂😂😂😂

This show has terrible programming and the characters personalities seem off than they usually would with the original rockafire explosion. I mean, just listen to looney bird. However, the songs are banging and earle’s voice in this is genuinely so funny i love it. I absolutely love how they handed out instruments to the kids to join in.

@Animaniacsfan2013 I think its because Gullivers programmed it themselves so the programming is a bit shabby, their cylinder speed is way out aswell, as you can see Billy Bob's mouth is a bit too fast, probably something to do with the air outlet valve being open.

Also, You Got Confused By Their Voices!

I feel like the owners are programming them while the show is running

love hard luck bears aka the rock -afire explosion sue!

The choreography here is awful. CEI and very hard core fans are the only people who can make it look good.

For those wonder why thier not programed knor looking righr is because this was one of the shows aaron shipped out when showbiz closed its doors and he still needed to sell them (i think may be wrong)

If they get Arron, I will definitely visit. I think it's the only one in the UK so I would love to even see a broken show in real life.

Thanks for posting this. Now I Know how bad they were programmed in HD, lol

This looks like a diagnostic movement test. Not an actual show.

Greatest show on earth, going to see this next week 😂😂

4:42 What's the song?

@Rolicoli8 yeh i was just lucky it was on this time and when it was on in 2011, but in between the time i went in 2011 and this time, i had been to the park about 5 or 6 times and the show was not on.

“Lester’s Possum Park” ahh showtape

Billy Bob sounds like PTT Jasper

did anyone notice that beach bear has billy's banjo? I wonder where they found this extra banjo from

this is pretty neat in a way - I have never seen a beach bear with a billy bob guitar - wow earl looks way to old - Im just not use of them looking like this - I fine it strange.

Hard luck indeed

i cant believe this is real programming XD it looks like the chuck e random mode

this place used to have the real hard luck bears and the real rock afire explosion

Looney looks like he was tormented in a fire, billy bob is having a stroke and everyone else looks like they have seen some things

I'm guessing Rolfe is using Repete Thornsberry's mask?

''did you have a nice sleep rolfe?'' '' I CERTANYLY WASSS 💅💅💅''

Yep they're not going anywhere anytime soon :)

this is so uncomfortable, the voice acting is awkward, the movements are stiff, the faces on the characters look weird and wrong... i find it so weird that they made the choice to keep the original characters' names when they were just going to make their own show... couldn't they have changed their names to make them less associated with the original rockafire characters? also mitzi sings the song from the hannah montana movie? what an odd choice... i will say the costumes look very cute but i would much prefer if they were on the actual rockafire characters...

When did they close this??? Went today and they werent there.. presume they were in the Gulliver’s travels bit

whats with the voices

Aaron you got to see what they done to ur show

Put the old Rolfe and Earl voice. They sound better that way tbh and actually match with their character

Who Voiced The Characters Looney Bird I Think Was Voiced By A Young Girl And Dook's Voice Should Stay Like That! Fatz Voices A Real Gorilla Mitzi's Voice Totally Killed! EDIT: 12/1/18: oh boy this is an old comment

Someone save those poor animatronics the rockafire explosion doesn't deserve this

If your gonna put the rock-a-fire explosion in your show use the actual voice actors

What song are they singing in the first bit? Btw I love animatronics. One of my fav bands

I kinda like their voices

How come they are offsync?

Why does the programming for this show look like someone was just pressing the movements on the MAC valve bank manually as if they were doing a movement test .

billy the bear loony bird dook fatz Beach bear mizti rofle and earl. all stages

And Billy Bob Sounds like a Drunk Bear

Cool

I actually enjoyed this a little JUST A LITTLE cuz I'm glad they weren't destroyed at least they have one use

Soo this is a rip off of what a American version or was there a old rockafire at this Gullivers before this one ??

omg looney turned into chica at 4:42

Does anyone know where this is cos i would like to go

Never noticed beach bears strum hand worked

best animatronic programing ever or is it just low air pressure?

I’m an American-(Half British n Scottish tho) I don’t really see why much people don’t like this’ I think it’s pretty cool and’ They saved the Showbiz Band! Just retrofitted of course! But I mean think about the children lol, The children probably love this so much! And maybe some people grew up with this, I think it’s cool;-;

just a other hard luck bears show i think there are 2 or 3 i dont really know

What happened to the Milton show?

I really wish I could unsee this! 😵🙈

is ths show still there, i would visit if they are still there

This place is only about 4 hours away from me! It isn't as good as the real RAE (Billy Bob's lip synching...) but it's better than nothing!

I had an idea to turn this "Hard Luck Bears" to the REAL Hard Luck Bears, see Knoebels, Blackpool Pleasure Beach and Playcenter and you will see what I'm talking about. On the center stage, we would need a hillbilly themed background, like a pine forest. Billy Bob would be Billy Wilbur, He wouldn't change that much, just put him on blue overalls. Fatz would be Billy Bill, we would paint his fur grey and his mask beige, put him on a red shirt and jeans, make him face to the left and replace his keyboard with an upright piano. Dook would be Billy Boy, we would elevate him on a cart, paint his fur black and put him on light blue overalls. Beach Bear would be Billy Bob (there was a Billy Bob in the original HLB show, but he played a washtub bass and was skinny), we would paint his fur black, put him on dark blue overalls, remove his guitar and replace it with a washtub bass. On the right stage, we would need a wooden wall background, Mitzi would be Mama Granbags, we would need a new mask for her that looks like Mama Granbags, paint her fur gray and put her on clothes similar to the ones Mama Granbags has, and Looney Bird would be Gooney Bird, with no changes intended. On the left stage, the Smitty's super service station background would be used, Rolfe would be RePete, we would paint his fur brown, put him on blue overalls, remove Earl and attach a long wrench to his right hand and add a rubber chicken to his left hand. And for Pete, we would need another Billy Bob animatronic, replace his mask with Mitzi's retrofit's mask (the mask she has is Pete's mask), remove his guitar, put him on a yellow shirt and a red bow tie, paint his fur black and all done. For the showtapes, we could use the 1979 IAAPA tape, or the Knoebels tapes, or the Blackpool Pleasure Beach tape. There, you will have something similar to the Original hard luck bears. I even have some drawing on how the show could be re-organised.

can I ask u a question rock afire uk

Intrestin enough... chu chu is in that bans

Terrible programming and HLB cosmetics aside, this show is only 1 hour away from me. I really must try and visit it someday.

This is great because it’s the only we we could see in the uk until they shut them down due to copyright issues

WHAT DID THEY MAKE TO THE ROCK AFIRE EXPLOSION !!!!!???

This feels so wrong

What's worse? Billybob's Wonderland cosmetics or the programming here?

Man this would be a cool concept but the animotronics look a little stiff if you know what I mean like how billy bobs mouth moves a little weird and how dooks arms move so slow ya know

There still the rock, afire explosion programmed, badly, and they have different cosmetics

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH NOOOOOO

Looks like they don’t want to be there.

0:23: Isn’t it Billy Bob Brockali?

ive seen worse. at least they actually look taken care of

As an American Citizen, this is not how we talk. Unless you live in the south. Then you do

To me Billy Bob sounds closer to Ed Wynn than Billy Bob.

At earle i can see endo neck.

What masks are Dook, Mitzi and Fatz wearing

Billy Bob's Real name is Billy Bob Brockali not Billy Bob Bear

Uh why do the voice actors sound drunk

The show Has bad program

That’s messed up lol 😂

Was it scary to see them?

Rolicoli8 Its called "Tell me ma" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fbxlmM6k3tisgY0.html

The programming and voices are terrible

WHY IS BILLY BOBS MOHOF IS FAST?

Repet mask

what did they do to them? they could have at least dressed them like the hard luck bears instead of just making the rockafire explosion look like they just got theyre fur covered in water and dried and the decided to put country clothes on them like why? fatz looks like he is a teenager mitzi looks like she just decided to make her head bigger and a circle and what happened to the voices they are terrible why did they make looney bird a girl i dont like this and why dosent duke have a hat

Te amo freddy's

im embarrassed to say this but im 17 and wanting to go see them bc of fnaf xD

believe it or not, people in the UK, this is not what americans sound like. This show is in the UK? THE PEOPLE THAT RUINED THIS SHOW ARE MOCKING USSSSS

This is pathetic. They need to take care of this show bc it is in better condition than Billy Bob’s Wonderland’s show, if they get better sounding people to voice them then it would be great. And fix their movement speed.

OK JUST STOP WITH THIS FAKE BILLY BOB!

2d song calld

.

Wow... the progamming makes this show pretty bad. Why did they not use some original Rockafire show tapes...
