Creative Engineering Inc. (partially lost audio of animatronic character's showtapes; 1970s-1980s)

The Rockafire Explosion.

Status: Partially Lost

Creative Engineering Inc. is an animatronic company founded in 1975. They are most recognized for producing the Rock-afire Explosion band that operated in Showbiz Pizza Place food chains in the 1980s. Other than the Rock-afire, Creative Engineering manufactured several other animatronic bands/retrofits for their own shows. Many showtapes/segments of showtapes have never surfaced online or have since disappeared.

The Rock-afire Explosion

Debuting on August 14th, 1980, the Rock-afire Explosion animatronic show was Showbiz Pizza's primary distinction from other arcades at the time. In 1990, however, Showbiz Pizza made the decision to remove the Rock-afire entertainment from their restaurants via a process known as "Concept Unification." This involved them retrofitting the existing stages with cosmetics to make the show appear as if it were "Munch's Make Believe Band," which was also owned by Showbiz Pizza. Despite being Creative Engineering's most successful product, many Rock-afire showtapes have gone missing.

This showtape was made and produced by Showbiz Pizza Time Inc and had nothing to do with Creative Engineering, and featured the same unidentified voice actors for the Center Stage characters, while Daws Butler and Don Messick reprised their respective roles as Yogi and Boo Boo. On August 15th, 2020, the full audio was posted to YouTube by fan website ShowbizPizza.com as a part of their "Rock-a-Palooza 2020" event for the Rock-afire Explosion's 40th anniversary. The audio was preserved on a cassette by co-producer and scriptwriter Steve White and is complete with only a few seconds missing from the song "Every Breath You Take".

Cyberstar Segments	1988-1990	Found	The first Rock-a-Fire shows to feature video playing alongside the animatronics.

There exists a small sample of the show in action on showbizpizza.com, in which a performer in a talking Billy Bob customer acts out a humorous skit with a standard Fatz Geronimo animatronic.

Looney Bird's and New Rock-afire Explosion Showtapes

Looney Bird's was a different restaurant to Showbiz Pizza Place. However, they largely featured the same entertainment, and are therefore included on this page. The New Rock-afire Explosion Showtapes was an updated version of The Rock-afire Explosion (Then known as The Classic Rock-afire Explosion) now with the animatronics in the "Mijjins" style. The New Rock-afire Explosion was not as successful as The Classic Rock-afire Explosion as not that many shows were made or sold.

Wolf Pack 5:

Created in 1978, the Wolf Pack 5 was one of Creative Engineering's first animatronic bands. In 1980, Bob Brock approached Creative Engineering about installing their entertainment into the then-unnamed Showbiz Pizza Place. Later that year, the Wolf Pack 5 was installed in the first Showbiz Pizza location at the Antioch Shopping Center in Kansas City, MO. Later, in 1981, the Wolf Pack 5 was removed from that Showbiz Pizza Place location, as the Rock-afire Explosion animatronic band had debuted earlier on August 14th, 1980 at the second location in Jacksonville, Fl, and became their primary show.

Title	Released	Status	Notes
The 1st IAAPA Showtape	November 1978	Partially Lost	This was the demonstration tape for the Wolf Pack 5 used at the IAAPA convention in Atlanta, Georgia.

The 2st IAAPA Showtape	November 1979	Found	This was another demonstration tape for the Wolf Pack 5 used at the IAAPA convention in New Orleans, Louisiana. Unlike the 1978 demonstration showtape, this show features a narrator who has the same voice that would later be used for Rolfe DeWolfe, a character in the Wolf Pack 5's successor, the Rock-afire Explosion. This would also be the same show along with The Hard Luck Bears that Bob Brock and his associates at Topeka Inn Management would see at the convention that impresses them to the point of seeking out a contact for CEI to make animatronics for their new restaurant concept Showbiz Pizza Place.
Japanese Wolfpack 5 Showtape	1979-Unknown	Lost	The first Wolfpack 5 Show ever sold. This show was the same show that was used at the 1978 IAAPA convention in Atlanta, Georgia, but most likely had a new Japanese showtape made for this show since it was set up and performed in Japan.

Only a small clip in a commercial is all that exists of Fame City's show. And only pictures exist of both Man and his World and Prymind Place shows.

Hard Luck Bears:

These characters were installed in a wide variety of venues, primarily theme parks, but also have permanent residence in other venues.

Showtape title	Release Dates	Status	Notes
Original Creative Engineering Showtape	November 1979 - Early to Mid 1980s	Found	This was the most widely heard showtape. The tape contains their most well-remembered personalities. This would also be the same show along with the 1979 version of The Wolf Pack 5 that Bob Brock and his associates at Topeka Inn Management would see at the convention that impress them to the point of seeking out a contact for CEI to make animatronics for their new restaurant concept Showbiz Pizza.
Honey's Bear Bunch	1980-1990s	Lost	This was a retrofit of the Hard Luck Bears into a fully female band with lipstick, new outfits and almost all of the characters have different names. This was the first Hard Luck Bears show ever sold and was the same show uses at the 1979 IAAPA convention in New Orleans, Louisiana. It was sold to Carowinds amusement park in Charlotte, North Carolina and was sponsored by General Mills. The contents of the showtape however remain largely unknown and have been lost since the show was removed in the 1990s.
Blackpool Beach Park/Frontierland Tape	1980-1999	Lost	The Hard Luck Bears were installed at Blackpool Pleasure Beach. A single showtape was produced. This show would later be removed and sent or sold to Frontierland in Morecambe, Lancashire, England where it ran until 1999 when Frontierland closed. On February 25th, 2017, A worker at the Blackpool theme park has been stated to have the show in its original quality. He said it included a quick and rushed character introduction, but with deeper voices than the CEI original promo tape. They sang a song called "Feet Nailed to the Floor" and included the same Pete/Repete gag from the promo tape, many other songs from the CEI show were featured in this tape as well. It is known they would sing "Mama don't allow no guitar playing in here" and another song called "The Blackpool Belle" Thanks to Lukas for this new information!

Orsi Show	1983-1993 (or 1994?)	Partially Lost	This was a showtape made for and by Italia in Miniatura in Viserba, Italy. Ivo Rambaldi founder of Italia in Miniatura was very impressed by The Country Bear Jamboree in both Disneyland and Walt Disney World and thought a smaller-scale version of it could be very interesting for the public of our park. The park brought a Hard Luck Bears set from Creative Engineering and installed it around 1982. During the first year the show was in the park they used the Original Creative Engineering Showtape as there was no time to adapt it. The following year a custom Italian showtape was made. Not only all of the characters were renamed with more Italian-sounding names (examples included Gooney Bird being renamed Francesco, Mama Granbags being renamed Mamma Italia, and Billy Willbur being renamed Gennariello), but all the characters spoke in different Italian dialects. Also, the only custom stuff recorded for the show was the character's dialogue as all of the songs used for the show were original artists' recordings (example: Nabucco by Giuseppe Verdi). The show was removed by the end of either the 1993 or 1994 season of the park. Some pieces, such as the pistons that managed the movement of the characters, were recycled to create some other animations of the park, but everything else was destroyed.
