Whatever happened to that monkey show?

[Anastacia]

I know I probably worded that the stupidest way possible (and I wasn't sure if this qualified as RAE or Showbiz so Veganova do forgive me) but I've been wondering lately whatever happened to that new monkey themed show that if I remember right was going to the UK?

I want to say her name was Hannah and I think Billy Bob and Looney Bird were part of it too. Just wondered if it ever was successful or not.

Hanna Banana's closed down.:(

I heard that the place is still in business but may have changed ownership. They did get rid of the Hannah character and the animatronic show which was basically a Billy Bob/Looney Bird stage with the addition of a converted Mitzi robot that was changed to Hannah Banana. Basically they opted for a different theme and direction for the restaurant is my understanding. No one is sure what happened to the robots or walk around but we think they are in storage over there.

Storage?? Storage!! You can't just lock something like that up!! Oh my...what would it be like for a serious collector to get a hold of that. If I remember right, there were a lot of posts on that to another thread and a ton of work went into that. For all that work to have been done just for it to go into storage!! That's just not right. Somebody, for the love of God, set them free!!

'Hannah Bananas' no longer exsists. See the main 'Hannah Banana' thread ( particularly the last 3 pages) for more insights.

Basically, the owner decided that after about a year or so of operation under the 'Hannah' theme, it was time to change. The resturant still operates i beleive, but it is now a space themed enviroment. As such, the Show and the characters no longer fit in with the new theme, so they were taken out. To date, i have no information as to what has become of the show.

My best guess would be it is either stored away by the original owner ( he invested quite a bit of $$ in it's creation) OR it has been sold to another UK establishment ( as in a theme park, arcade, or seaside resort).

Again, check out the main thread in this section for more insight.

Someone should call and try and find out.
