The Rockafire Explosion Band at Billy Bob's Wonderland - Real Five Nights at Freddy's
#BillyBobWonderland #fivenightsatfreddys #FNAF #rockafireexplosion
Billy Bob Wonderland, a restaurant and entertainment venue, was part of the ShowBiz Pizza Place franchise, known for its animatronic band, The Rock-afire Explosion. This animatronic setup and the overall concept of kid-friendly, themed entertainment spaces heavily inspired Five Nights at Freddy's (FNAF). The game’s creator, Scott Cawthon, has acknowledged these types of establishments as foundational to the eerie, nostalgic setting of the game. The lifesize animatronics of the band even resemble the Five Nights at Freddy's characters. The core Concept of 5 nights at Freddy's is In the original game, you play as a night security guard at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, a fictional family restaurant similar to Chuck E. Cheese’s or ShowBiz Pizza Place. The venue features animatronic characters that entertain guests during the day but behave unpredictably and threateningly at night. Your job is to survive five nights by monitoring security cameras and managing limited resources like power to avoid being attacked by these animatronics.
Half of the Doodle the Travel Bug team is going on a West Virginia Roadtrip and our first stop is Barboursville, WV. We are excited to finally see Rockafire Explosion Band. I grew up in a town close to a Chucky Cheese, Showbiz Pizza Place was their copy cat company and Chucky's biggest rival. The one thing Showbiz Pizza Place had on Chucky Chesse was far better animatronics. Chucky Cheese's animatronics were just half a body in a frame where the Rockafire Explosion band were full body characters. After years a fighting and lawsuits, Chucky Cheese was eventually bought up by ShowBiz Pizza Place and a new company was formed the only snag was Aaron Fechter was the inventor of the Rockafire Explosion Band and owned the rights to it. When he parted way with the company he did not leave them with the rights. The new company had no choise then to refurbish their animatronics into Chucky Cheese characters. And because the animatronics were taken apart, there are only 3 Rockafire Explosion Bands left and so we are going to Billy Bob's Wonderland in West Virginia.
Here’s what to expect and note if visiting a place like Billy Bob Wonderland:
The Atmosphere: The mix of childhood nostalgia and slightly uncanny animatronics makes such locations fascinating yet eerie, especially for FNAF fans.
The Rock-afire Explosion: If operational, seeing this animatronic band can give insight into what inspired the animatronics in FNAF. Pay attention to the movements, costumes, and soundtracks.
Arcade Games: Many of these establishments were packed with classic arcade games, contributing to the retro aesthetic found in the FNAF series.
Community Restoration Efforts: While original ShowBiz Pizza Places no longer operate, there are collectors and enthusiasts who have restored animatronics and created private or public showcases. You might find one in a museum or collector's exhibit.
Let me know if you'd like a guide or recommendations for visiting any specific location tied to this bit of history!

DUNN'S RIVER FALLS - Top 5 Tips for this Adventurous Jamaican Excursion!
Those animatronics are kinda of creepy 😂
For those who don't know... this is the last of the once popular "Rock-afire Explosion." An animatronic band. Currently located at "Billy Bob's" (Name of main band member) Near Barboursville WV. Fun little spot for arcade games and alright food. Due to their age there are less and less people able to maintain these guys. At one point a couple years ago so of them hand broken eyes and movements, was kinda creepy.
fr fnaf fans have been ruining and reviving animatronics

Best room tour ever. You do such a good job with having daddy mommy only dates. First time ever seeing a beer fridge or mini keg dispenser in a room. My favorite part was the rock paper scissor challenge story line. You should have split it up. And doing the set up closer to the begging and conclusion in the end. The music you picked was perfect. Really loved the format of this video.
Fantastic presentation, Doodle the Travel Bug! Looks and sounds amazing! Excellent sharing. Continued success. God bless.
It's not Anchor Bar Duff's is the best chicken wing place in Buffalo New York I lived there for 51 years
Not so much Anchor Bar is #1, wings in general was #1
27club is the clear winner
This place to cool 🍻
Was that Wish You Were Here?
Gunshow in Atlanta is a must-try! 🍽😋👶✨ Your new friends here
Hi new friend!!!
Your channel performs so well when you do these type of food reviews and places to eat. We love Atlanta but we need to explore more. At least your kids tried. Everything there is so pretty, almost too pretty yo eat. Happy Birthday Marko!
What a cool place to spend your birthday 🥳
What a very eclectic place to eat! The food looks so delicious. Although, it’s probably out of my price range. Thank you for sharing, though! Such a variety! 😋
High fat, high salt, and tons of carbs...what could be better?
Barf.
Yummy!
The food looks SO good! I’ve never done a food tour. I’ll have to try one sometime. Thank you for sharing a part of your adventures in Bologna (I was waiting for an Oscar Meyer allusion, but didn’t hear one)
Those are some great trips! You’re family is an amazing group of world travelers. There is a Wood Henge at Cahokia Mounds
It looks absolutely delicious! Thank you for sharing such a wonderful video.❤👍
I’ve driven through Bologna before but never had the chance to really explore it. Thanks for taking us on this amazing tour. The secret food tour was so cool, so many great shops, mouthwatering food, and more. The views of the pasta being made were fantastic. Loved the videography and narration. Hope you have a wonderful week ahead.
I think I put on a few pounds just watching the video. Everything looks so delicious 😋
I have never done a food tour, and will have to try it next time. There’s many was so much meat there my gout would act ip 😂. And my wife who is Vegan will probably pass on meat and cheese. But she would be all about the wine place. I bet you went through a lot of SD cards. Our family loves Gelato and that looks so good.
Hello, do you have a hotel recommendation? Thanks!
So I believe this trip we stayed at The New Yorker, but I could be wrong. I do remember looking up the parade route and picking a hotel that we could walk to our parade spot and Macy’s the next day. Make sure to download a movie to your phone before Thanksgiving. Internet won’t work in that crowd! And we borrowed a blanket from our hotel to sit on a curb and watch said movie from our spot!
Se puede elegir entre té y chocolate caliente? O hay que pagar a parte el chocolate?
Hot chocolate included for those who do not want tea.
@DoodletheTravelBug Thank you so much! 🧡
I was OBSESSED with this movie as a kid and even as an adult it is still my favorite movie ever. FUN FACT: in 2004, I made a fan video using clips from the movie and set it to Sinead O’Connor’s version of “Nothing Compares to You”, which of course was originally written and performed by Prince. I didn’t know at the time that Drop Dead Fred was filmed at Prince’s studio, and how appropriately relevant the song was in my fan video! Sadly the video was removed from UA-cam shortly after I uploaded it, for music copyright protection purposes. Even more tragic, the original copy I made was lost to a hard drive crash years ago. There may be a backup somewhere on a CD, but HOW COOL is it that I now know the locations of the filming of this childhood cult classic. Thank you for sharing this and for your passion for this movie. I hope to one day visit Minneapolis and the surrounding area to experience my own Drop Dead Fred tour!
@@mrowrr723 I can not like this comment enough!!! Full circle moment right there! Hahaha.
I like A&W's footlong coney with onions. 👍
This will be our first international trip. Great tips. I usually wake everyone up early to get there 30 min or earlier. You have way more henges than I have. Only been to Carhenge. I would get inner circle for sure. LOL, Woodhenge.
Yeah, that's it. Hot dogs, beef sandwiches, toasted sugar, cheesey spaghetti, cheesey pizza and chicken wings. Really. Welcome to Buffalo, the Obesity Capitol of New York State, where more than half of the residents, adults and children, are overweight and obese. Sit down, get fat, stay fat, die young. People don't consume ANY of this death food where I live (there's nowhere to buy it), where it's a rarity to see an obese person (usually someone who's passing through).
Very greek like architecture, nice to see in America whete most buildings are bland and futuristic
Great tips 👍 that was totally the right time of day to see Stonehenge 😎
Hi, we are taking our first Thanksgiving cruise on Harmony OTS in a few weeks (Western Caribbean) Wondering if the evenings are cool or nice that time of year? Just trying to figure out what clothes to pack.
You’re so lucky! Have a blast. Weather should be wonderful, but pack a layer for the ship. Wind on deck can be chilly.
@@DoodletheTravelBug Thanks for the info! We always cruise in the Spring/Summer so wasn't sure what to expect.
You found old rocks. Awesome.
Henge rockstars!
Thanks for video. Do you know if they offer complimentary breakfast for Platinum Elite level?
I believe they do!
What is your favorite CocoCay excursion? We want to avoid the water park. We have been debating between swimming with pigs and snorkeling. Is there a good kid friendly reef to snorkel at? (My kids are 10 & 12.)
@@JosieBailey probably snorkeling. Just make sure it’s the excision that takes you on a boat out to the reef and not just fins and snorkel for use in their beach area. They took some made cement blocks with openings and sunk them deep in the roped off area. You don’t want that!!! The rock eef we boated to was perfect for kids. With lots of fish.
Dang. Why don’t I recognize the Akron restaurant?
🌹 Dolores💜 thank you for sharing 🫶🏽
Neat place.
LOVE Alethea's!!!! Best place ever!!!
The Doll’s Head Trail has been on my radar for a few years, but just haven’t been able to get back to the Atlanta area to see it. That’s pretty cool you got to visit it during fall time of the year; makes it even more eerie. 😱
That last one is best done a dusk 🫣
Your Thumbnail is so good that Rosalie saw it and she wanted me to click it. I told that this is my friend’s channel. She loves scary and spooky. Atlanta has a lot of cool things. Not we still need to go that haunted dolls trail. Georgia Aquarium is the best. Cool you made it for Halloween time.
This was so much fun!
British afternoon tea isn’t stuffy, it’s a wonderful indulgent treat no matter where and how it’s served. Glad you enjoyed your Harry Potter version ❤
Crazy Dogs Grill in Chillicothe is by far one of my favorites.
Thanks for this!
go to detroit!! they have delicious cuisine!!!!
Since I was in first grade, I’ve known part of the lyrics to The Gambler. Those were some great tv movies, too. Anyway, I didn’t know Kenny Rogers was buried near Atlanta
