Choo Choo (Animatronic)

Choo Choo (Also Munch Jr.) was an animatronic prop figure featured on the Rock-afire Explosion . It is a simple figure, as its only movement is raising up from his tree stump. On early versions of the Concept Unification Stage , he would also have a spotlight.

History

Choo Choo featured in Rock-afire Explosion shows first debuting in 1980 at the Jacksonville, FL (9820 Atlantic Blvd) on August 14th of that year. Choo Choo would later be converted to Munch Jr. during Concept Unification , now resembling a smaller Mr. Munch with a propeller cap. Munch Jr. would additionally gain a spotlight used from the original Antioch (Animatronic) spotlight. He would later lose his spotlight with the September '94 showtape, as stores were instructed to switch the spotlight out with a gobo light that faced the center stage curtains. The last official Munch Jr. in a store was at the Wilmington, North Carolina location, which would close in October of 2020.
