Choo-Choo is a baby bear located on center stage in front of Dook LaRue of The Rock-afire Explosion. While Choo-Choo had no lines, he would bounce out of his tree stump and "dance" to the music. He was only called out by name on the 1984 "Trivia Night" showtape on the question "what character was never introduced in a show?"[1].

History and Info

Choo-Choo first appeared in The Hard Luck Bears, and he was mainly the same as the Choo-Choo seen in the Rock-afire. The only difference was that in the Hard Luck Bears, he was in a wash basket instead of a tree stump.

According to Aaron Fechter, Choo-Choo's favorite foods are pizza, cookies, and chicken fingers.

Concept Unification

During Concept Unification, which occurred at most of the ShowBiz Pizza Place locations between 1990 and 1992, Choo-Choo's animatronic was used for Munch Jr.. His bottom half assembly was removed and his tree stump was replaced with a small metallic barrel.

It should be noted, however, that in the Concept Unification Prototype, his animatronic was removed completely, along with the other prop characters to allow for a traveling Mr. Munch animatronic.
