The Rock-afire Explosion was an animatronic band created by Creative Engineering in 1980. The band was primarily seen at ShowBiz Pizza Place from 1980-1993. The Rock-afire Explosion was fazed out of ShowBiz Pizza Places during the late 80s and early 90s due to Concept Unification. This was due to a falling out between ShowBiz Pizza Time (now CEC Entertainment LLC.) and Creative Engineering. The Rock-afire Explosion can still be seen today at places like Billy Bob's Wonderland and Volo Auto Museum.
