When Huckleberry Junction first opened up in the 80s it was a band called the animal kracker band witch was just bubba bear and the badlands band then after around 1995 dainel and the dixie diggers were installed

@JoeJoyHaveLanded 2 года назад

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.

Huckleberry Junction is a pretty fun little gem but man alive is it in the sticks. We're in Flint and don't even go out that way often. So glad you got out there though. There's some funky little gems in that area.

@kittiequinnadventures1797 2 года назад

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……..

@missybell290 2 года назад

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.

I’m amazed huckleberry is still opened after all these years growing up outside of flint mi . I use to go there a lot as a kid over the years it’s changed so much as a kid in the 80’s it was one of the biggest places to go that had a huge arcade . But now it’s more claw Machines ect miss them old school arcades

Jacob, Have you been to Bronner's Christmas Store in Frankenmuth? It's a store, but the grounds have so many cool places to see such as a replica of the church where "Silent Night" was written along with giant Christmas sculptures. And you can't leave the town without sampling one of the famous, rival, family chicken dinners.

I grew up in Michigan and lived on Faygo Red Pop. I don't think it tastes like cough medicine. The chocolate cheese thing... it sounds like a weird combo, but it works in some cases. There's a Celebration Station maybe 5 miles from where I live. I've never been there, but I drive by it every day to/from work.

I'm happy it's still there, but I miss the massive ball pit they used to have. There was an enclosed stairway you had to climb and then you could slide down into the balls. It was so much fun as a kid.

The entrance to adventureland in iowa very much resembles main st USA at disneyland.)
