Magic City Tokens

Magic City was a family entertainment center in Waukegan, Illinois, notable among enthusiasts for being one of the few locations to host the New Rock-afire Explosion—a modernized version of the original 1980's band that used smaller animatronics (nicknamed "Mijjins") and featured rotating side stages with synchronized movements patented as Dance-atronics. After Magic City closed in 1997, its New Rock-afire show was relocated to Odyssey Fun World in Tinley Park, Illinois. Separately, there is a historical link involving a 1985 project called the "Magic Stage," in which ShowBiz Pizza Place tested rebranding the Rock-afire Explosion as simply "Magic," replacing the traditional nature/forest theme with a magic show aesthetic; this prototype concept was tested at a few locations, most notably in Austin and Longview, Texas, but was never rolled out nationwide.
