Trivia

 * Dept. 2's AVG Country Critters is rumored to have come from the original Puerto Rico location of Tex Critter's Pizza Jamboree.
 * The Mitzi, Fatz, Billy Bob and Looney Bird bots used for bluescreen purposes were once part of the Mini-Stage at the old facility, while the Beach Bear, Dook and Rolfe & Earl bots were formerly part of a 3-Stage RAE at a Circus Pizza in Minnesota and had been purchased at auction back in the late-1990s, and had been used as parts donors until the move, after which they were restored for bluescreen usage.
 * Many of these animatronics are featured in the "#AnimatronicMonday" videos on the social media of Carwardine Parks, Circus Playhouse and Tex Critter's.
 * Originally, the bluescreen bots were greenscreen, but once they started adding the tree props to some of the RAE greenscreen videos, it was problematic, so they changed it.
