Hard Luck Bears Aka The Rock Afire Explosion - Gullivers 2015 

And the audience are actually enjoying it, singing along and clapping. Imagine these guys fully restored and turned back to the RAE, Boy they would be blown away.

This is a disgrace to animatronic bands, the voice acting is mistitles and show writing is even worse. And those awful moments when they awkwardly pause for an answer... The programming is not much better either. If your programming is so bad that people think the shows broken, you've got a problem.

Just a bit of context behind the terrible programming, James day (the voice of fatz among others in this show) was the one tasked with programming this tape. There was an original revision of this tape that was programmed and showed to one of the management team, and in the guys words “it looked as if they were having a seizure”. I can imagine after programming an entire 15 minutes worth of movements wasn’t a quick task even if not up to RAE standards, but having to start it again from scratch probably wasn’t the best news, hence the evidently rushed and slow moving product we have in the video.

This is just so pathetic.. I can't believe they thought this was presentable.. The programming is awful, Fatz looks terrifying, and the voice acting is really lacking. Especially Billy Bob. Ugh.

The choreography here is awful. CEI and very hard core fans are the only people who can make it look good.

Well, At least Beach bear looks mostly unchanged. He's my favorite. .3. But poor Rolfe and Earl. They are my second favorite ;n;

''did you have a nice sleep rolfe?'' '' I CERTANYLY WASSS 💅💅💅''

This show has terrible programming and the characters personalities seem off than they usually would with the original rockafire explosion. I mean, just listen to looney bird. However, the songs are banging and earle’s voice in this is genuinely so funny i love it. I absolutely love how they handed out instruments to the kids to join in.

Also, You Got Confused By Their Voices!

It Literally Sounds Like Bill Farmer Voiced Billy Bob

this is so uncomfortable, the voice acting is awkward, the movements are stiff, the faces on the characters look weird and wrong... i find it so weird that they made the choice to keep the original characters' names when they were just going to make their own show... couldn't they have changed their names to make them less associated with the original rockafire characters? also mitzi sings the song from the hannah montana movie? what an odd choice... i will say the costumes look very cute but i would much prefer if they were on the actual rockafire characters...

I feel like the owners are programming them while the show is running

Idk about everyone's voices but I kinda like looney female's voice I feel it strangly fit the character.

the amount of comments on this saying that it was “terrible” like hun i grew up with this and honestly it was one of the best times of my childhood

Even though I do wish some of the voice acting was better and the programming was a lot better, at least the audience is having a good time I think it’s adorable that the audience gets to play along with the band

If your gonna put the rock-a-fire explosion in your show use the actual voice actors

Who Voiced The Characters Looney Bird I Think Was Voiced By A Young Girl And Dook's Voice Should Stay Like That! Fatz Voices A Real Gorilla Mitzi's Voice Totally Killed! EDIT: 12/1/18: oh boy this is an old comment

The programming and voices are terrible

If they get Arron, I will definitely visit. I think it's the only one in the UK so I would love to even see a broken show in real life.

@Animaniacsfan2013 I think its because Gullivers programmed it themselves so the programming is a bit shabby, their cylinder speed is way out aswell, as you can see Billy Bob's mouth is a bit too fast, probably something to do with the air outlet valve being open.

did anyone notice that beach bear has billy's banjo? I wonder where they found this extra banjo from

@Rolicoli8 yeh i was just lucky it was on this time and when it was on in 2011, but in between the time i went in 2011 and this time, i had been to the park about 5 or 6 times and the show was not on.

Hard luck indeed

This looks like a diagnostic movement test. Not an actual show.

Voice acting is very awful, Billy bob sounds drunk..

@CEC Ruxpin Thank you, I do aim to get the best videos for you guys, I could be traveling back there in the next few weeks

i cant believe this is real programming XD it looks like the chuck e random mode

Aaron you got to see what they done to ur show

this place used to have the real hard luck bears and the real rock afire explosion

Billy Bob & Looney Birds voices though 😂😂😂😂😂

This place is only about 4 hours away from me! It isn't as good as the real RAE (Billy Bob's lip synching...) but it's better than nothing!

How come they are offsync?

whats with the voices

Someone save those poor animatronics the rockafire explosion doesn't deserve this

this is pretty neat in a way - I have never seen a beach bear with a billy bob guitar - wow earl looks way to old - Im just not use of them looking like this - I fine it strange.

Thanks for posting this. Now I Know how bad they were programmed in HD, lol

4:42 What's the song?

For those wonder why thier not programed knor looking righr is because this was one of the shows aaron shipped out when showbiz closed its doors and he still needed to sell them (i think may be wrong)

I'm guessing Rolfe is using Repete Thornsberry's mask?

4:42 I'm dancing be like:

Soo this is a rip off of what a American version or was there a old rockafire at this Gullivers before this one ??

Billy Bob sounds like PTT Jasper

I actually enjoyed this a little JUST A LITTLE cuz I'm glad they weren't destroyed at least they have one use

I really wish I could unsee this! 😵🙈

The fact this is my contury I’m abosutle gob smacked THIS IS TERRIBLE, the choreography... the voices... THE ACENTS ARE FUNNY TO ME CAUSE ITS MY COUNTRY LOLOLOL, I’m dissapointed in this for real. LOONY BIRD ISNT EVEN LOONEY BIRD sighsss

Terrible programming and HLB cosmetics aside, this show is only 1 hour away from me. I really must try and visit it someday.

Yep they're not going anywhere anytime soon :)

I kinda like their voices

Put the old Rolfe and Earl voice. They sound better that way tbh and actually match with their character

Greatest show on earth, going to see this next week 😂😂

There voices are terrible and the programming just no 😨

What's worse? Billybob's Wonderland cosmetics or the programming here?

what did they do to them? they could have at least dressed them like the hard luck bears instead of just making the rockafire explosion look like they just got theyre fur covered in water and dried and the decided to put country clothes on them like why? fatz looks like he is a teenager mitzi looks like she just decided to make her head bigger and a circle and what happened to the voices they are terrible why did they make looney bird a girl i dont like this and why dosent duke have a hat

OK JUST STOP WITH THIS FAKE BILLY BOB!

This feels so wrong

ive seen worse. at least they actually look taken care of

best animatronic programing ever or is it just low air pressure?

This is pathetic. They need to take care of this show bc it is in better condition than Billy Bob’s Wonderland’s show, if they get better sounding people to voice them then it would be great. And fix their movement speed.

And Billy Bob Sounds like a Drunk Bear

So mediocre

A disgrace

There still the rock, afire explosion programmed, badly, and they have different cosmetics

Looney looks like he was tormented in a fire, billy bob is having a stroke and everyone else looks like they have seen some things

omg looney turned into chica at 4:42

Looks like they don’t want to be there.

0:23: Isn’t it Billy Bob Brockali?

“Lester’s Possum Park” ahh showtape

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH NOOOOOO

ive seen worse. at least they actually look taken care of

Why does the programming for this show look like someone was just pressing the movements on the MAC valve bank manually as if they were doing a movement test .

is ths show still there, i would visit if they are still there

love hard luck bears aka the rock -afire explosion sue!

believe it or not, people in the UK, this is not what americans sound like. This show is in the UK? THE PEOPLE THAT RUINED THIS SHOW ARE MOCKING USSSSS

ive seen worse. at least they actually look taken care of

ive seen worse. at least they actually look taken care of

As an American Citizen, this is not how we talk. Unless you live in the south. Then you do

Rolicoli8 Its called "Tell me ma" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GV5eksyrHQY.html

Terrible just terrible

To me Billy Bob sounds closer to Ed Wynn than Billy Bob.

I had an idea to turn this "Hard Luck Bears" to the REAL Hard Luck Bears, see Knoebels, Blackpool Pleasure Beach and Playcenter and you will see what I'm talking about. On the center stage, we would need a hillbilly themed background, like a pine forest. Billy Bob would be Billy Wilbur, He wouldn't change that much, just put him on blue overalls. Fatz would be Billy Bill, we would paint his fur grey and his mask beige, put him on a red shirt and jeans, make him face to the left and replace his keyboard with an upright piano. Dook would be Billy Boy, we would elevate him on a cart, paint his fur black and put him on light blue overalls. Beach Bear would be Billy Bob (there was a Billy Bob in the original HLB show, but he played a washtub bass and was skinny), we would paint his fur black, put him on dark blue overalls, remove his guitar and replace it with a washtub bass. On the right stage, we would need a wooden wall background, Mitzi would be Mama Granbags, we would need a new mask for her that looks like Mama Granbags, paint her fur gray and put her on clothes similar to the ones Mama Granbags has, and Looney Bird would be Gooney Bird, with no changes intended. On the left stage, the Smitty's super service station background would be used, Rolfe would be RePete, we would paint his fur brown, put him on blue overalls, remove Earl and attach a long wrench to his right hand and add a rubber chicken to his left hand. And for Pete, we would need another Billy Bob animatronic, replace his mask with Mitzi's retrofit's mask (the mask she has is Pete's mask), remove his guitar, put him on a yellow shirt and a red bow tie, paint his fur black and all done. For the showtapes, we could use the 1979 IAAPA tape, or the Knoebels tapes, or the Blackpool Pleasure Beach tape. There, you will have something similar to the Original hard luck bears. I even have some drawing on how the show could be re-organised.

Cool

That’s messed up lol 😂

Was it scary to see them?

Wow... the progamming makes this show pretty bad. Why did they not use some original Rockafire show tapes...

The show Has bad program

Uh why do the voice actors sound drunk

ive seen worse. at least they actually look taken care of

When did they close this??? Went today and they werent there.. presume they were in the Gulliver’s travels bit

I’m an American-(Half British n Scottish tho) I don’t really see why much people don’t like this’ I think it’s pretty cool and’ They saved the Showbiz Band! Just retrofitted of course! But I mean think about the children lol, The children probably love this so much! And maybe some people grew up with this, I think it’s cool;-;

im embarrassed to say this but im 17 and wanting to go see them bc of fnaf xD

What song are they singing in the first bit? Btw I love animatronics. One of my fav bands

Excuse me but the voice are just horribles and the shows.... ufffffff just why can they put a rock afire show and not a show that is pathetic ???

What masks are Dook, Mitzi and Fatz wearing

This a big disgrace to the Rockafore Explosion band also they sang a Irish song with this store in the UK and with Ireland being a enemy of the UK this is just a messed up band and they sound like they just woke up for a 15 year nap

WHY IS BILLY BOBS MOHOF IS FAST?

Man this would be a cool concept but the animotronics look a little stiff if you know what I mean like how billy bobs mouth moves a little weird and how dooks arms move so slow ya know

ive seen worse. at least they actually look taken care of

What happened to the Milton show?

down right terrible
