SHOWBIZ STILL OPEN? who's up for going?

FROM WHAT I FOUND ONLIN, "According to my Internet research, Showbiz Pizza has been defunct for 14 years. Somehow, it lives on in Beirut."

There is also one in Dubai, Snapper went and did work on it... They have the signage and its in a mall!

Seems overseas honestly has more business with the Rock-afire then the good ole USofA... geez what gives.

Well atleast I have one in a building across the yard

I would be a little scared to eat at that Showbiz...I thought the pizzmoffin looked nasty! :lol

[Rockafirefan]

Does Aaron (of CEI) know about these locations?

[CEC3066]

while i'd LOVE to go see this, getting OVER there is easy, it's the thought of HOW we're getting BACK in one piece,ALIVE that would scare the crap out of me.

I found this photo too in flickr... my thoughts were to go as well. That is till I checked a map to find out exactly where Beirut is.

I think it would be awesome to check it out, but the area is probably one of the last places I'd want to visit. :rolleyes Not sure, I guess I just don't trust being an american tourist in the middle east.

so basically you were "OOH Yeah I wanna...just stay here where it's safe and admire the pretty picture."

[RockafireGuy]

Well... you know.. it's bad when The Rock-afire Explosion will work over in a terrorist dominated Country where the religeous culture is hate and it doesn't get an ounce of attention over in the USA. Al Quada reigns supreme in that part of the World. Aaron knows about these locations. He has video of one of them on his website. They take better care of their shows over there than anybody over here .. with the exception of snapper.. who can keep a show look almost like it's actually alive!! The Saudi Showbiz keeps their show running better than the original Showbiz's in the USA kept theirs running in the late 80's.... Early 1988-1990. All I can say is... that's a dirty shame. If this bunch that has Showbiz over there were Americans competing in the USA, there would be no stopping them... CEC would whimper and Die a chapter eleven death..... CEC needs to consider themselves fortunate these guys probably wouldn't be allowed to come to the United States right now due to where they're based and their nationality... I know racial profiling is wrong... but that's the way it is right now. CEC knows they're safe. They certainly aren't worried about little farts like me.. LOL!
Anyway.. it's a shame the Rock-afire can go over as big as it does over there and be treated as well as it is treated over there and nobody in the USA can seem to get it right. It seems like the Rock-afire shows being used in restaurants over here are treated like crap. The sad part is...... the people over there can take care of the shows... so why can't anyone who owns a business with them do the same over here???????????

[pizzacam]

LOL You go man! ;)

[YoungCaliHottie]

wow. look at that signage. it just looks so fun! like there was a lot more excitement around it than the outside look of stores today with their "modern" look.

Has anyone thought about making a CheeseVention at the ShowBiz Pizza in Mexico city...just think we would be at an actual ShowBiz location and airline tickets are not that expensive and once you're there you'll have more money to spend and what a cool trip.

[anastaciacominatcha]

Rockafire guy not to get *****y but umm...Lebanon and Saudi Arabia are a world apart culturally...and they are seperate countries. Same for Dubai and Bahrain.

I hate all fundies and extremists (be they Christian, Muslim, Pagan, Jew, whatever) but I really cant stand when Americans just lump one general area together and spout a bunch of bull that may hold true for somewhere but not exactly where they mean. Would it hurt people to actually bother to read up on things?

[simpsons99]

I recently opened up a Myplace page and i put a video from YOUTUBE.COM on it... My Gf watched the Video and she asked me if there was any Showbiz Pizza places in Washington ... I sadly said NO!

But i would goto Showbiz Pizza as much as i could if it was still around. I miss the 80's Dearly..

:bbsad:

My sister was in a callafornia airport, (the disney one, around 2005 i think) and she saw a still operating showbiz!

[Snap]

Well when I was in Dubai I had a blast. I ended up sort of being kidnapped in a good way...LOL. The owner liked having me around and didnt want me to leave. I didnt like there show. I do have a video of it and when I get my video camera working again maybe I can put some footage up. Everything in this town was new or had to be new. It was a used show but they stripped the characters down and even repainted everything on the inside a bright crome color so they could try and pass it off as new. (what those %&*#$ heads wont do) LOL. Anyway... there voltage was weird so when a curtain opened it took about three times as long as what the normal time takes. They had also switched out eyeballs ..I remember Dook had Green Eyes which was weird. Mitzi had Blue eyes (actually looked good) Billy Bob had brown eyes ( believe it or not..brown eyes looks excellent on Billy Bob) But I got there show working good and I spent as less time as I could in Showbiz.. there was too many other wonders of the world going on. What a trip that was..I will never forget that or people I met for the rest of my life.

[ChrisHansenIsWatching]

Can you post a picture for proof that you worked at that location?
