    I always love when you find a new (old) animatronic band. I remember a version of those guys in Hershey Park in the 80's performing in a gazebo but they were called the Dogpatch Dawgs. Plus I still hope to one day get to Chicago to go see the Biscuits at Logan's Arcade, a misfit dog animatronic band that started out their lives as the Beagles.

    These place looks exactly like a dream I had about a year ago it was very detailed dream that rainbow tile ceiling rainbow railing upstairs how the tables are placed out and how the games are against that wall with the exact same games , also the carpet . There where Animatronics but can’t remember what they looked like.So when watching your video it kinda freaked me out. I have never been there or seen this place online. Your video is the first time seeing this place. I live in Texas and I only traveled far as Arkansas so there is no way I’ve been to this unique place before……..So weird……..

    The white dog was Percy I believe. There was also Betty who baked cakes, Wally Wish who would pop out of an oven to wish kids a happy birthday, and finally an animatronic of Mark Twain who all resided in Lancaster, Massachusetts at Paddlewheel Pizza, who were all part of Roll On America, a family fun center. The band broke up and moved to Florida with the owners of the rink sometime in the late 90's or early 2000's and may have come out of retirement at some point. These were some of the songs they sang. Other videos of them have them singing different sets. They were fun to work with.
