One of the famous ’80s music groups is currently performing in two cities, minus the pizza, arcade games, and video machines.
Despite appearing eradicated from all Showbiz Pizza and Chuck E. Cheese establishments years ago, the Rock-afire Explosion continues to exist.
What Is the Rock-afire Explosion?
If you’re someone who grew up without the audacious excitement of Showbiz Pizza in your childhood, it’s essentially the same as Chuck E. Cheese we know today. However, there’s one remarkable difference that truly distinguishes them – the Rock-afire Explosion. I was always captivated by this unique and memorable feature.
At Showbiz Pizza, the mechanical band of creatures put on a performance to amuse guests as they took a break from playing arcade games and enjoying slices of pizza. The act combined funny skits and tunes that were suitable for all ages.
Over time, every single Showbiz Pizza outlet transformed into Chuck E. Cheese establishments, consequently leading to a change in identity for the members of the Rock-afire Explosion as well.
Before long, the band and its updated look were gone for good from every Chuck E. Cheese.
In the early 2000s, there was a surge of curiosity about animatronic groups as YouTube began sharing videos showcasing characters dancing to contemporary tunes within someone’s household.
Afterward, a documentary about the Rock-afire Explosion was shown, however, it didn’t have enough impact to bring the fictional band back to pizzerias all over the United States.
But the band does play on in at least two cities with performances open to the public.
Where To Find The Rock-afire Explosion
Fans can continue to appreciate the tunes and acts of the vintage robotic music group at two venues that are undoubtedly not Chuck E. Cheese’s.
Billy Bob’s Fun World in Barboursville, West Virginia resembles popular family entertainment spots such as Showbiz and Chuck E. Cheese. In fact, the name of this venue was inspired by the Billy Bob character from Showbiz.
As a dedicated movie buff, I can tell you that the Rock-afire Explosion still captivates visitors with its familiar tales and skits. However, if you’re expecting the band to retain their exact appearance from your childhood days, you might be in for a surprise.
As a die-hard cinema enthusiast, I must admit that the passage of time has taken quite a toll on this legendary band. It’s more than just a little unkind; it’s almost unfair, to put it mildly. And speaking of places that have suffered a similar fate, Billy Bob’s Wonderland is home to some truly terrifying Rock-afire masks – the stuff of nightmares, if you ask me!
No matter what the band’s appearance might be, people still throng to Billy Bob’s Wonderland for the performance. In fact, the fandom has grown so much that it spawned BillyCon, an annual event dedicated to Showbiz Pizza and its characters.

As a movie enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that you don’t have to step foot inside a restaurant to enjoy a Rock-afire Explosion performance! Instead, there’s an alternative way to savor this unique spectacle from the comfort of your own home.
Travel approximately an hour and a half north-northwest from Chicago, and you’ll come across Volo, a quaint town with roughly 6,000 residents. A notable point of interest in this community is the Volo Museum.
Over time, the museum has evolved from primarily showcasing vehicles used in films and television to hosting numerous exhibits that evoke feelings of nostalgia. In the summer of 2024, the Volo Museum introduced its newest feature – the Rock-afire Explosion.
The band performs their show outside, as the garage doors open every twenty minutes to allow visitors to watch them play. They’ve made significant progress from being confined to playing at the same pizza place every evening.

You would spend countless hours by the radio, with your finger poised on the record button, hoping that the disc jockey wouldn’t interrupt the introduction of your beloved track.
The ‘Back to the Future’ DeLorean

The Best ’80s Happy Meal Toys
Fast Macs (1985)
As a child from the ’80s, merely seeing these cars could evoke memories. The “Fast Macs” were pullback toys with car designs, each one featuring a different McDonald’s character: The Hamburglar in a sporty roadster, Big Mac in a police cruiser, Birdie the Early Bird in a convertible, and Ronald McDonald in a convertible as well, labeled a “runabout.” According to the packaging, after you pulled them back, they would perform “wacky zooms, funny spins, wild wheelies, and crazy loops.” I don’t recall any of them behaving quite that zanily, but they were still enjoyable to collect.
An American Tail (1986)
80’s children, being naturally cautious about non-toy prizes in Happy Meals, found these small storybooks particularly appealing at a time when they were enamored with the movie “An American Tail”. This animated film, released in 1986, revolved around a mouse named Fievel who got separated from his family during their immigration from Russia to America. Although it’s not as well-remembered today, this movie was a massive hit and even inspired the popular 80’s pop song “Somewhere Out There”. However, merchandise related to American Tail wasn’t easy to find. These Happy Meal books served as a rare treat for fans of the film.
Stomper Trucks (1986)
In the early 1980s, battery-operated toy cars known as Stompers hit the market. By the end of the decade, they were no longer popular, but in 1986, they collaborated with McDonald’s for a promotion involving eight distinct “push-along trucks.” Unlike the regular Stompers, these toys from Happy Meals were powered by children pushing them, not batteries.
LEGO (1986)
Without a doubt, those four LEGO sets seem rather basic compared to what we have now. However, in 1986, these were an amazing addition to a Happy Meal toy collection. It wasn’t just about constructing and disassembling them endlessly, but the versatility of the pieces that could be mixed and matched in numerous ways or simply added to your existing pile of LEGO bricks.
Here’s a little trip down memory lane: Most ’80s kids didn’t have completed LEGO structures on display; instead, they had a bin filled with random blocks. On occasion, they would take these out and build something before leaving the construction on the floor for their parents to accidentally step on.
The Real Ghostbusters (1987)
For quite some time, I had a pencil sharpener in the shape of the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man within my collection of school supplies. This item was dear to me; it valiantly honed countless pencils for me without once causing damage to any church. As its useful life eventually concluded, the blue and red paint on it had faded and peeled off, leaving dark stains from the graphite it handled nearby. It wasn’t until I conducted research for this piece that I discovered this pencil sharpener was a prize from a Happy Meal assortment of school supplies themed around The Real Ghostbusters. Most kids may have been disappointed to receive a pencil or notepad instead of the toy Ecto-1 at the time, and rightfully so. However, that Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man pencil sharpener certainly evokes nostalgia for me.
Muppet Babies (1987)
In the ’80s, a significant number of Happy Meal toys were designed with two components: a static figurine and a vehicle that could be attached or placed within. This design choice was likely strategic, as it allowed children to interchange parts, encouraging them to revisit McDonald’s to gather more pieces. One of the initial sets in this style was linked to the popular animated series “Muppet Babies,” featuring four characters (Kermit, Gonzo, Piggy, and Fozzie) and four exchangeable ride-on accessories. How many children from the ’80s developed a lasting passion for toy collection due to the social pressure to obtain every figure from the “Muppet Babies” Happy Meal series?
The Berenstain Bears (1987)
In that very same year, McDonald’s introduced a collection of toys and vehicles inspired by the characters from The Berenstain Bears, which happened to be a hit animated series on CBS at the time. Children could collect figures of Papa, Mama, Brother, and Sister, leading to heated debates among them about whether the bears’ last name was spelled as Berenstain or Berenstein.
Boats ’N Floats (1987)
Back in the 80s, when I was a kid and McDonald’s was part of our everyday lives, they did something really cool with their Happy Meals. Instead of the usual box, they transformed it into the prize! For instance, the “Boats ‘N Floats” from 1987 wasn’t your typical Happy Meal box; it was a fun, two-piece plastic pool toy filled with our favorite McDonald’s characters. Now, you wouldn’t want to eat a Happy Meal in a large body of water, and the name might remind you of a joke from “Step Brothers”. But hey, they were quite popular! If you were growing up during that time, chances are you had one or two of these toys tucked away, ready to add some fun to your bath time.
Halloween Pails (Various)
Without a doubt, there’s nothing more quintessential as Happy Meal prizes than their Halloween-themed buckets. Introduced in 1986, they quickly became an essential part of the Happy Meal for many years, although they were momentarily discontinued in the mid-2010s and then brought back a few years later. Over the years, these buckets have come in various designs, but the most recognized collection includes a pumpkin, a witch, and a ghost – orange, green, and white respectively. Just looking at them brings back a wave of nostalgia that almost has the scent of old plastic toys and cheap Halloween candy.
New Food Changeables (1987)
In the 1980s, transforming toys became extremely popular due to franchises like Transformers and Go-Bots. Even McDonald’s joined the trend by introducing their line of Happy Meal “Changeables.” These were miniature replicas of McDonald’s food items, such as a Big Mac or french fries, which could be transformed into robots. Although they may seem primitive now, these toys were incredibly sought-after in 1989. Children treasured them, traded them, and longed to collect every single one – a task that was challenging since each Happy Meal came with a randomly selected toy. The Changeables were reintroduced in 1987, with new characters, and again in 1989, but this time featuring dinosaurs instead of robots.
Oliver & Company (1988)
Nowadays, parents often lament about the Disney merchandising machine being overly aggressive. It seems every movie is accompanied by dolls, toys, clothes, bedsheets, toothbrushes, pesticides, floor cleaners, and an abundance of other licensed goods. In contrast, the 1980s were a more straightforward era, and sometimes the only place kids could find toys for the latest Disney movie was in a Happy Meal. Items like these Oliver & Company finger puppets, which seemed insignificant at first, transformed into cherished childhood possessions. (Come on, who wouldn’t want a Billy Joel finger puppet? That thing is precious!)
Fraggle Rock (1988)
Over time, the separate components of the toy vehicles and Happy Meal figurines started merging into single, undoubtedly cost-effective items, often depicting cartoonish vehicles manned by miniature, stationary figures. These toys were less suitable for collecting but offered a different kind of play experience, as they could roll around or be stationed. For instance, remember the Fraggle Rock cars where four distinct Muppets sat in miniaturized automobiles shaped like various vegetables? It’s hard to imagine the Fraggles driving around in vegetable cars on the show, but it’s been a while since I last watched it.
McNugget Buddies (1988)
In the ’80s, one of the popular toys included in Happy Meals was the McNugget Buddies – tiny plastic McNuggets with detachable clothing items. The initial lineup consisted of a police officer, firefighter, cowboy, and rock star, serving as a marketing strategy for the introduction of Chicken McNuggets instead of a cheeseburger in Happy Meals.
These toys were simple yet highly collectible, and they proved to be incredibly effective. McDonald’s continued to release new versions of them every few years due to their popularity. The concept was revived once more in 2023, this time as a collectible item for adults, in collaboration with artist Kerwin Frost.
Mickey’s Birthdayland (1989)
The partnership between Disney and McDonald’s soared to new levels with this Happy Meal, which showcased beloved Disney characters such as Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, and Pluto. This promotion coincided with the debut of the new Mickey’s Birthdayland area at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. As a child, I spent countless hours playing with that Mickey in his red car, but now I find myself wondering: What connection do these generic cars have to “Birthdayland”? Additionally, it seems questionable to let a dog drive a car, as safety concerns arise from such an arrangement.
McDonald’s and Disney collaborated on a Happy Meal featuring Mickey Mouse and friends to celebrate the opening of Mickey’s Birthdayland at Magic Kingdom. I used to love playing with that Mickey in his red car as a kid, but now I can’t help but question why cars are connected to “Birthdayland” and whether it’s safe for a dog to drive a car.
Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers (1989)
In the same year, McDonald’s introduced vehicles styled after the beloved Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers TV show. The characters were permanently attached to these vehicles, which resembled ingeniously transformed household items. However, children could exchange parts such as propellers and rotors among the vehicles, creating a new reason for them to persuade their parents to return to McDonald’s frequently. In my household, this strategy proved extremely effective.
