I've always been fascinated by robotics/animatronics. This is really interesting to see the rebuilding process and troubleshooting that goes into a restoration. Can't wait to see more of it, thanks!
Hey Aaron, it would be cool to see your perfect show perform these diagnostic tests to see what the movements are supposed to properly look like. :) Love your stuff.
I'm so happy to see how well these poor guys are progressing with your attention, feels like a crying shame they got into this condition in the first place, would love to know which genius thought that abrasive sand which is so light it gets blown everywhere was the perfect thing to put on stage with animatronics which contain several sensitive and small parts, seems like someone didn't think that through, wish I could go and see these guys but the only one I've heard of over hear is one in ireland but not sure if it's about anymore not to mention it was in pretty bad shape sadly, wish these guys were still being made ^-^
Can't wait to see these guys fully functional! I know you've heard this a bunch of times but you are doing an awesome job! and thanks for these videos :D
I love these videos, and I'm really learning a lot! This stuff really interests me. But seriously, what were they thinking with Mitzi? I feel like they were trying to keep her looking in one direction at that angle but then she can't "see" everything. I also feel like that could be a bit of an overload on her mech. And the air pressure has also been interesting because there's no common theme. Some things are too fast, some are too slow and some are just fine! That might be normal but it makes me think they may have been neglecting some movements. Anyways, thanks for uploading these for us!
Even more interesting is the fact that some of Fatz' movements broke, so they just hooked up the hose to a completely different air cylinder as a cheap way of fixing it, which killed his foot tap!
GWR Oliver - yea I was thinking about that and it's ridiculous!! (I didn't write it because I already published the comment and didn't want to edit it. 😋) But still why would they choose the foot tap? I guess people who were uneducated wouldn't know but keep in mind a lot of people go to see it and some are adults who remember them from their childhood! As you can tell I rant a lot...
They probably chose the foot tap because they thought it was the least important movement, which is ridiculous because his foot tap is awesome! Plus, the audience is going to be at *eye level* with the character's feet/legs, so why remove it if people are sure to see it? I rant a lot too, by the way. XD
Did they have both of Mitzi's turns going to her left since she's all the way on that side of the stage therefore if she turned to her right, it'd look weird? I don't know. Either way what were these people thinking with all these changes? :\
That's the theory I subscribe to, but I'm not sure that she would turn far enough for that to be weird. As it is she can't scan the audience. Anyway, this will be revisited before we are through.
@therockafire were billy bob and mitzi supposed to lean forward and backward together on the diagnostic? looks like when billy bob goes forward mitzi goes backwards.. just wondering if something isnt backwards with her body lean. love watching the videos and am excited to see it working and looking like new again
Thank you Lord Aaron for supplying us with daily Bear A Dise videos
amen
CEC HANGOUTS Lol
I Love These Videos

It's a good day when you get to watch this with breakfast.

If only my time zone was 12am converted to 6/5am, then I'd be early.
But it's better than nothing, since these are pretty entertaining
I love watching these!
Thanks for posting these videos. I find them very interesting!

I hope he realizes how lucky he is to spend this much time with you Aaron ☺ Wish I could come help!

I might have to fly out and see this show in person.
Thank you Aaron ❤

Looking good so far
Thank you for uploading this :)
Cool show
I would be ecstatic to see this live but I live In Mississippi
Good, job Aaron!
It's like a story and I want to see the end when you fix them, also do a show to know that there ready.

Oh yeah you have a point there, I didn't think about how short of a turn she makes in general.

Joshua Brown no they go opposite. She's synced with some other characters. If you watch CEC Florida's CEI tour video it plays more clearly in there
I'm sorry for them :(
You NEED to be on the TV show "The Goldbergs" on ABC. If you haven't seen it, it's a show about the 80's
Cool!
ohhh they are still working iam so happy
keep. it. up. rock. a fire. and. aaron. I love. the. show. I. like. to have three. dolls. of. drool. beach bear. and. mitiz
yup i agree with you all
interesting to me because my dad was into robotics and mechanical things
Why doesn't Mitzi raise her arms up all the way? are they broken?
cooool
Notif squad assemble!
GO GO POWER RANGERSSS!!!!!
I was about to moan about the moaners on the comments but it seems like they have finally learnt to be patient...
wait this is not all the rockafire explosion where are the others???
Jasmine Habal this is all that's in this particular show
ok
Jasmine Habal these shows are called "mini shows" because they only consist of Mitzi, Fatz, Billy Bob, and Looney Bird.
They were made for smaller Showbiz Pizza locations that couldn't fit a full show.
KentuckyWallChicken It was also produced to compensate for Showbiz's that couldn't afford the full stage.
6:22 what are u doin to mitzi??????????????????
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) A nice little check
Tzza
5:40 haha got his hands up her skirt.
When . Is. The. Fair!!!!!! It probably already happened tho... 😑😒
im looking for the calibration video any one have it because i need it
Are you looking for a bootleg copy? Is that fair to the person who put months of work and years of experience into its development?
