Rock-afire Explosion

The Rock-afire Explosion was an animatronic show created by Creative Engineering for ShowBiz Pizza Place from 1980 to 1983, which would be used in its restaurants until parent company ShowBiz Pizza Time, Inc. rolled out Concept Unification in SPP locations with a Rock-afire show from June 1990 to March 1993. Most remaining Rock-afire shows were turned into Chuck E. Cheese 3-Stage|3-Stages, which are also being dwindled down due to the CEC 2018 2.0 Remodel Program. Creative Engineering would continue to use its spare shows to sell to family entertainment centers as-is, retrofitted, or with new additions such as video and karaoke throughout the 80's and 90's.

History

The Rock-afire Explosion would first be developed in April of 1980, before debuting at the Jacksonville, FL (9820 Atlantic Blvd) on August 14th of that year. The characters were based off the Wolf Pack 5 animatronic show Creative Engineering had previously developed.
