Orlando locations?

[Ashmanarion]

First post, and I hope it's in the right place. I'm 23 and in about 84-86, my parents and I went to Disneyworld and to a Showbiz Pizza on International Drive. My dad loved it more than I did I believe heh. Well I'm going back in a couple weeks to Disneyworld and I want to find out if there is still anything resembling a Showbiz Pizza down there near Disneyworld. I'm sure there's a CEC down there somewhere, but I didn't know if there was anything that might have the older feel to it. Please excuse the newbish question and thanks in advance.

Some of the Orlando ShowBiz locations around 1991-1992 became Chuck E. Cheese's locations.

There used to be a Looney Bird's in Orlando with the new style RAE show, but it's long gone.

Of course, Creative Engeneering, which made the ShowBiz Pizza Place Rock-afire Explosion robots (as well as other shows like Wolf Pack 5 and Hard Luck Bears) is still headquartered in downtown Orlando on 47 West Jefferson Street with Aaron Fechter still handling the job there.

Welcome to the Boards!

Yes, there used to be a great Showbiz on International Drive, which is the last strip of civilization before crossing the invisible line that is "Disney Property"). It's long gone now...having been coverted into a modern day CEC with a 3 stage. It's worth visiting, just to see the 3 Stage CEC Show as you can sit there are watch the old RAE robots with CEC characters coverings on them ( actually, its a little sad!)

I lived in FL from 1980 thru 1983 and whenever i would go to WDWorld, i would always make a point to stop by the I-Drive Showbiz. I loved the show, as i have always been a huge Animatronic fan ( thus why i went to WDWorld all the time!!) and the RAE was awesome. My last visit to Showbiz was at that very location in December of 1989. Until recently, this was the last time i saw a full RAE in action.

Creative Engineering is still in Orlando, not all that far from the old Showbiz location. i had the pleasure of visiting there 2 weeks ago and was happy to see that the RAE still lives !!

I remember going to Walt Disney World back in 85 or 86 and my family and I passed by a Showbiz Pizza. I think it was near a Burger King. I wanted to go to that Showbiz but my parents just drove by. I remember the old style sign on the building, before they changed the sign and colors of the building in 86 or 87.

uh don't you mean Studio C? I-Drive isn't on the 3-stage list.
