Choo Choo (Also Munch Jr.) was an animatronic prop figure featured on the
Rock-afire Explosion. It is a simple figure, as its only movement is raising up from his tree stump. On early versions of the
Concept Unification Stage, he would also have a spotlight.
History
Choo Choo featured in Rock-afire Explosion shows first debuting in 1980 at the
Jacksonville, FL (9820 Atlantic Blvd) on August 14th of that year.
Choo Choo would later be converted to Munch Jr. during
Concept Unification, now resembling a smaller Mr. Munch with a propeller cap. Munch Jr. would additionally gain a spotlight used from the original
Antioch spotlight. He would later lose his spotlight with the
September '94 showtape, as stores were instructed to switch the spotlight out with a gobo light that faced the center stage curtains.
The last official Munch Jr. in a store was at the Wilmington, North Carolina location, which would close in October of 2020.
