Nope I know a guy that got their show. |I

[TreyTX]

really? What did he pay for it?

[captslappy]

I hope not much because from what I understand mechanically it was in horrible shape and only 1 or 2 movements worked on each character. I think Snapper did fix but it still had a long way to go and probably degenerated back to its previous state quickly.

Chimpy's used to have 2 locations in Illinois, both locations featured the Rock-afire show with some RAE members dressed safari style.

[TreyTX]

Oh...so are both of their shows sold and off the market?

[menutia]

Yes.

Both shows are in private hands.

(And no, not in mine!)

Does anyone here have pictures of the Chimpy's in Niles, IL? I never got a chance to go to that one.

Well if you have the knowledge like Nick, Snap and Mike etc...The worst shows/characters can usually become a bad ass show/character again...So don't be too discouraged if you currently have a "bad" character a little know how and care can bring them back as I'm slowly starting to see.

Yeah Circus pizza fan did wonders with this thing. The owners never wanted to spend any money with me. So I had to work with used junk. It was pitiful the first trip I took there. Rolfe had one eyelid that worked. And thats all that worked on him. There valve banks were full of water and the owners had no idea you were suppose to empty water from a compressor. They had water being pumped through the lines instead of air. I had never seen anything like it!

[circuspizzafan]

Man the Long driver boards where almost all bad so allot of lights, movements, and the bits that the show control card used to stop the show did not work. And I don't know why but Rolfe always had water all the way up to his macs. For the most part all the other macs where dry. And the DPR was full of water too.

[Rockafirefan]

Circuspizzafan, I understand that you own the Libertyville location's show now. How is it doing?

[circuspizzafan]

It's good; I have been working on fixing them up.
